Mr/Ms. <Contact Last Name> Page 2 of 3 <Project Name> San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project -related emissions as outlined below: Applicable District Rules Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the District rules identified below. These rules 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 www.vallevair.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 track out, landfill operations, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at www.valleVair.org/busind/comply/PM10/Reg VIII CAB.pdf. If a non-residential project is 5.0 or more acres in area or the project 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 www.valleyair.org/busind/complv/PM 10/forms/DCP-Form.doc Rule 4102 (Nuisance) This rule 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 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. These sites include areas of crop production, animal feeding operations and unpaved roads/equipment areas.
