4.1 – Air Quality <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.1-18 <br />for construction or operational excess emissions of NOx or PM10—those emissions above the goals identified in <br />Section 6.0 of the rule. Monies collected from this fee are used by the SJVAPCD to fund emissions reduction projects <br />in the SJVAB on behalf of that project. <br />Currently, the SJVAPCD is proposing revisions to Rule 9510 that may affect the applicability mechanism of the ISR <br />rule to ensure that the rule applies consistently throughout San Joaquin Valley, as well as clarification and <br />enhancement of several other aspects of the rule. <br />Rule 9610: State Implementation Plan Credit for Emission Reductions Generated through Incentive Programs <br />Rule 9610 provides an administrative mechanism for the SJVAPCD to receive credit toward SIP requirements for <br />emissions reductions achieved in the SJVAB through incentive programs administered by the SJVAPCD, Un ited <br />States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, or CARB. On April 9, 2015, the EPA <br />finalized a limited approval and limited disapproval (for a minor administrative error) of Rule 9610 as a revision to <br />the California SIP. Additional documentation regarding the effectiveness of SJVAPCD’s incentive programs can be <br />found in 2015 Annual Demonstration Report SIP Credit for Emission Reductions Generated Through Incentive <br />Programs (SJVAPCD 2015c). <br />San Joaquin Council of Governments <br />The San Joaquin Council of Governments Board adopted the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable <br />Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) on June 28, 2018. The RTP/SCS is comprehensive in its response to new federal <br />statues embodies in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century and state statutes, including SB 375. The <br />RTP/SCS continues to provide a sustainability vision through 2042 that recognizes the significant impact the <br />transportation network has on the region’s public health, mobility, and economic v itality. As the region’s <br />comprehensive long-range transportation planning document, the RTP/SCS serves as a guide for achieving public <br />policy decisions that will result in balanced investments for a wide range of multimodal transportation <br />improvements. The San Joaquin Council of Governments is currently preparing the 2022 RTP/SCS Update, Envision <br />2050 (SJCOG 2018). <br />County of San Joaquin <br />The County of San Joaquin (County) General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, Air Quality Goal is intended to <br />protect public health and welfare by implementing measures that allow the SJVAPCD to attain federal and state air <br />quality standards. The Public Health and Safety Element sets forth a number of policies and standards to reduce <br />current pollutant emissions and to require new development to include measures to comply with air quality <br />standards. The County’s General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, Air Quality Goal includes the following goal <br />and policies (County of San Joaquin 2016): <br />Goal PHS-5: To protect public health, agricultural crops, scenic resources, and the built and natural <br />environments from air pollution. <br />Policy PHS-5.4: Innovative Mitigation Measures. The County shall encourage innovative mitigation <br />measures and project redesign to reduce air quality impacts by coordinating with <br />SJVAPCD, project applicants, and other interested parties.
