y 0 Z San Joaquin Valley AVG _ Air Pollution Control District Co urs; y ��$ m� �de�efop,�ient July 29, 2005 Reference No.C20050788 San Joaquin County Aftn: Gillian Hayes 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500436 : 2978 S.Vista Avenue (APN 175-040-19) Dear Ms, Hayes: 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. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project alone would not generate significant air emissions. However, 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. 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)- Regulation Vlll (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. If a residential site is 1.0 to less than 10.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities (see section 6.4.1). A compliance assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at: http://www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM 10/forms/DCP-Form°/`20-%2010-„14-2004.pdf Rule 4102 (Nuisance) applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rule specifies 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.
