San Joaquin valley Air Pollution Control District January 17, 2006 Rr7Cf71VFD Reference No. C200501906 JAN 1 8 2006 John Funderburg Community Deveio San Joaquin County pment Dept. Community Development Dept. 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0300573 (GP) & PA-0500807 (ZR)— 19260 N. Tully Road, APN 019-060-09, 10 & 019-110- 13, 14, 16, 17 Dear Mr. Funderburg: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(District) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. There is currently not enough information for the District to adequately or accurately analyze the entirety of the project for potential air quality impacts. The District notes pending information on vehicle trip rates dependent upon the number of senior units (and associated acreage) for the proposed residential lots. Future development will require additional environmental study and mitigation. The increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required. This project may be subject to additional District Rules not enumerated below. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446. Current District rules can be found at http://www.valleyair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm. Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and trackout, landfill operations, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at http://www.valleyair.org/busind/com ply/PM10/Req%20VII I%20CAB.pdf. If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. Construction activities shall not commence until the District has approved the Dust Control Plan. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at http://www.valleyair.org/busind/com ply/PM 10/forms/DCP-Form%20-%2012-01-2005.doc. Rule 3135 (Dust Control Plan Fee) This rule requires the applicant to submit a fee in addition to a Dust Control Plan. The purpose of this fee is to recover the District's cost for reviewing these plans and conducting compliance inspections. More information on the fee is available at http://www.valleyair.org/rules/currntrules/Rule%203135%201005.pdf.
