NOV-20-2003 THU 10:24 AM SANJOAQ VALLEY AIR DIST FAX N0. 2085576475 P. 05 San Joaquin County November 19, 2003 PA-0300573 (GP) Page 4 • All housing units should include as part of the purchase an electric lawn mower and an electric edger. • One of the issues that will arise in conjunction with any proposed renovation/demolition of existing building in the project area is compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos - Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994. Brian Dodds is the Northern Region's District contact for the program and is available should you need further assistance. • Prior to the issuance of construction contracts San Joaquin County should perform a review of new technology, as it relates to heavy-duty equipment, to determine what if any advances in emission reduction are available for use. It is anticipated that in the near future both NOx and PM10 control equipment will be available. The District would be available for consultation on this process. Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent. • Install wheel washer for all exiting trucks, or wash off all trucks and equipment leaving the site. • Install wind breaks at windward sides of construction areas. Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds exceed 15 mph. • Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time. All operations shall limit or expeditiously remove the accumulation of mud or dirt from adjacent public streets at least once every 24 hours when operation are occurring (the use of dry rotary brushes is expressly prohibited except where preceded or accompanied by sufficient wetting t limit the visible dust emissions). • Use alternative fuel construction equipment. Minimize idling time (e.g. 10 minute maximum).
