San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 8 District Reference No. 20200208 May 15, 2020 An AIA application is required and the District recommends that demonstration of compliance with District Rule 9510, before issuance of the first building permit, be made a condition of Project approval. The purpose of District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM10 emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources associated with construction and operation of development projects. The rule encourages clean air design elements to be incorporated into the development project. In case the proposed project clean air design elements are insufficient to meet the targeted emission reductions, the rule requires developers to pay a fee used to fund projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions. Information about how to comply with District Rule 9510 can be found online at: http://www.valleyair.orq/ISR/ISRHome.htm. The AIA application form can be found online at: http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRFormsAndApplications.htm. 6c) Operational Related Emissions — Under-fired Charbroilers Projects for restaurants with under-fired charbroilers may pose the potential for immediate health risk, particularly when located in densely developed locations near sensitive receptors. Since the cooking of meat can release carcinogenic PM2.5 species like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, controlling emissions from new under-fired charbroilers will have a substantial positive impact on public health. Charbroiling emissions often occur in populated areas, near schools and residential neighborhoods, resulting in high exposure levels for sensitive Valley residents. The air quality impacts on neighborhoods near restaurants with under- fired charbroilers can be significant on days when meteorological conditions are stable, when dispersion is limited and emissions are trapped near the surface within the surrounding neighborhoods. This potential for neighborhood-level concentration of emissions during evening or multi-day stagnation events raises environmental concerns. Furthermore, reducing commercial charbroiling emissions is essential to achieving attainment of multiple federal PM2.5 standards and associated health benefits in the Valley. Therefore, the District recommends that the SEIR include a measure requiring the assessment and potential installation, as technologically feasible, of particulate matter emission control systems for new large restaurants
