San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 District Reference No.20210504 June 14,2020 Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance is available online at the District's website www.vallevair.org/cega. 2) Solar Deployment in the Community It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources,the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider the feasibility of incorporating solar power systems, as an emission reduction strategy for this Project. 3) Clean Lawn and Garden Equipment in the Community Since the Project consists of residential development, gas-powered residential lawn and garden equipment have the potential to result in an increase of NOx and PM2.5 emissions. Utilizing electric lawn care equipment can provide residents with immediate economic, environmental, and health benefits. The District recommends the Project proponent consider the District's Clean Green Yard Machines (CGYM) program which provides incentive funding for replacement of existing gas powered lawn and garden equipment. More information on the District CGYM program and funding can be found at: http://www.valleyair.org/grants/cgym.htm and http://valleyair.org/grants/cgvm-commercial.htm. 4) Charge Up! Electric Vehicle Charger To support further installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of such infrastructure,the District offers incentives to public agencies,businesses,and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure(Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of this incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low orzero-emission vehicles.The District suggests that the City and Project proponent consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for this Project.
