Ms.Allen November 16,2005 PA-0500729 Page 2 Rule.3190 (Conservation Management Practices Plan Fee)This rule requires the applicant to submit a fee in addition to a Conservation Management Practices application. The purpose of this fee is to recover the g pp p p District's cost for.the.review and management of these applications. More information on the fee is available on the District Website at:.http://www.yalleVair.org/rules/currntruies/r3l90.pdf: Rule 4102 (Nuisarice)_This rule applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other.materials. In the event thaf the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4103 (Open Burning) This rule regulates the use of open burning and specifies the types of materials that may.be open burned. Agricultural material shall not be burned when the land use is converting from agriculture to non-agricultural .purposes (e.g., commercial, industrial, institutional, or residential uses). Section 5.1 of this rule prohibits the burning of trees and other vegetative (non-agricultural) material whenever the land is being developed for non-agricultural purposes. In the event that the project applicant burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4550 (Conservation Management Practices)This rule limits fugitive dust emissions from agricultural operation sites. The District's CMP Handbook for Poultry can be found on the website at: http:l/www.valleVair_org/farmpermits/updates/cmp poultry handbook.pdf. Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings by .specifying architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations) If asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. The project applicant is currently going through the District.permitting process. The applicant has received an Authority To Construct (District facility ID #N-7332, Project Number 1054000) for an emergency diesel engine. District staff will undertake an initial inspection to ensure compliance with specifications in the Authority To Construct (ATC) before a Permit To Operate (PTO) is issued. The PTO signifies that the applicant has met Air District permit requirements. The land use authority rests with the County of San Joaquin. For further information regarding ATCs or District permitting processes, please contact Mr. Ramon Norman at (559) 230- 5909, or our Permit Services Section at (559)230-5900. The District recommends the preparation of a Health Risk Assessment (HRA). The location of sensitive receptors should be explained in terms that demonstrate the relationship between the project site and potential air quality impacts (e.g., proximity, topography, or upwind and downwind location). The Disirici recommends Hot Spots Analysis and Reporting Program (HARP) for HAPS analysis. An HRA should include a discussion of the toxic risk associated with the proposed project, including project equipment, operations, and vehicles. The project consultant should contact the District to verify the appropriate thresholds to use, as well as review the proposed modeling approach before modeling begins. For more information on HRAs, please contact Mr. Glean Reed, Senior Air Quality Specialist, at(559) 230-5923, or glenn.reedCcwalleyair.orA. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as San Joaquin County development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. • The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative
