Mr.Swanson �,,, Page 2 <br /> 3� PA-0600529(SA) <br /> Rec <br /> iulation Vlll .(Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Rules.8011-8081 are designed to reduce ,PM1.0 emissions' <br /> (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road' <br /> construction bulk materials stora e, aved and un axed roads, carryout'and.track.'otut, landfill operations <br /> gP p. <br /> II'4 etc. . The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at <br /> www.valleyair.om/busind/compl /PM10/Re Vill CAB: df. <br /> If a non-residential site is 1.0 to less than 5.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to <br /> the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities as specified in Section' <br /> I <br /> 6.4.2 of Rule 8021. A template of the District's Construction Notification Form is available at, <br /> it <br /> www.vaIJeyair.org/busind/compl /PM10/formslNotificationForm Final 12.01.2005.d6c. <br /> Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review Rule)This rule applies to all new stationary sources <br /> and all modifications of existing stationary.'sources that are subject to the District permit requirements and <br /> 4 after construction emit or may emit one or more affected pollutant. The applicant must contact the District's <br /> Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446 to:receive additional.information/instructions.....,, <br /> Rule 4102 (Nuisance)This rule applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or <br /> other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public -nuisance, it <br /> could be in violation and be subject to District'enforcement action. ' <br /> Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural.coatings <br /> by specifying architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements and applies to any person <br /> who supplies, sells, offers for sale, applies, or solicits the application of any architectural coating. <br /> Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified"Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations) If asphalt <br /> paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641.-.,This rule applies to <br /> the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt,for paving and <br /> maintenance operations. ,- <br /> Recommended Mitigation Measures <br /> The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of <br /> features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions <br /> of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as'San Joaquin County; <br /> development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to-the fullest extent possible.) The <br /> suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the <br /> land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. <br /> Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building from energy consuming <br /> environmental conditions, and to shade.50%'of paved areas within 15 years. For more information see <br /> www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/, www.fs.fed.uslpswlprogramslcufrl, www.coolcommunities.org/, <br /> www.Ufei.org/, and www.Ige.org/bookstore/energv/downloads/s'v tree guidelines.pdf. <br /> As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. <br /> Energy conservation measures include both:energy conservation through design and operational energy <br /> conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): <br /> Increased energy efficiency (above California Title, 24 Requirements); energy efficient windows, <br /> lighting, appliances, and heating/cooling isystems; programmable thermostats. For more information <br /> see www.energy.ca.gov/title24/ and www.energystar.gov/.. <br /> - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints.

"Heat islands" created by this and similar .projects contribute to the reduced air quality in <br /> the valley by heating ozone precursors.
