4.1 – Air Quality Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.1-17 Pursuant to Rule 8021, Section 6.3, the Project would be required to develop, prepare, submit, obtain approval of, and implement a dust control plan, which would reduce fugitive dust impacts to less than significant during Project construction. Regulation IX – Mobile and Indirect Sources • Rule 9110: General Conformity – The rule specifies the criteria and procedures for determining the conformity of federal actions with the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District’s air quality implementation plan. • Rule 9120: Transportation Conformity – The rule sets forth the principles for determining conformity of transportation plans, programs, and projects which are developed, funded, or approved by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), and by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) or other recipients of funds under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Act. The rule sets forth policy, criteria, and procedures for demonstrating and assuring conformity of such activities to an applicable implementation plan developed pursuant to the Clean Air Act. • Rule 9410: Employer Based Trip Reduction – The purpose of this rule is to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from private vehicles used by employees to commute to and from their worksites to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter. • Rule 9510: Indirect Source Review (ISR) – The purpose of this rule is to fulfill the District’s emission reduction commitments in the PM10 and Ozone Attainment Plans, achieve emission reductions from the construction and use of development projects through design features and on-site measures, and provide a mechanism for reducing emissions from the construction of and use of development projects through off- site measures. • Rule 9610: State Implementation Plan Credit for Emission Reductions Generated through Incentive Programs – The purpose of this rule is to provide an administrative mechanism for the District to achieve credit towards State Implementation Plan requirements for emission reductions achieved in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin through incentive programs administered by the District, United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, or CARB. Rule 9510: Indirect Source Review The ISR rule, which was adopted December 15, 2005, and went into effect March 1, 2006, requires developers of new residential, commercial, and some industrial projects to reduce NOx and PM10 emissions generated by their projects. Pursuant to Rule 9510, the purpose of the ISR rule is to reduce emissions of NOx and PM10 from new land development projects. In general, development contributes to air pollution in the SJVAB by increasing the number of vehicles and vehicle miles traveled. ISR applies to development projects that require discretionary approval from the lead agency. The ISR rule also applies to transportation and transit projects with construction exhaust emissions that equal or exceed 2 tons per year of NOx or PM10. The ISR rule requires submittal of an air impact assessment application no later than the date on which the application is made for a final discretionary approval from the public agency. The air impact assessment contains the information necessary to calculate construction and operational emissions of a development project. Section 6.0 of the ISR rule outlines general mitigation requirements for developments that include reduction in construction emissions of 20% of the total construction NOx emissions, and 45% of the total construction PM10 exhaust emissions. The rule also requires the Project to reduce operational NOx emissions by 33.3% and operational PM10 emissions by 50% compared to the unmitigated baseline. Section 7.0 of the ISR rule includes fee schedules
