San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 District Reference No. 20210375 August 5, 2021 found in the District's Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts at: https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf The District offers the following comments: 1) Project Related Criteria Pollutant Emissions Although the construction-related emissions are expected to have a less than significant impact, the District suggests that the County advise Project proponents with construction-related exhaust emissions and activities resulting in less than significant impact on air quality to utilize the cleanest reasonably available off-road construction fleets and practices (i.e. eliminating unnecessary idling) to further reduce impacts from construction-related exhaust emissions and activities. 1a) Ambient Air Quality Analysis An ambient air quality analysis (AAAA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of the ambient air quality standards. For development projects the District recommends that an AAQA be performed for the project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant. If an AAQA is performed, the analysis should include emissions from both project specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis. Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance is available online at the District's website www.vallevair.org/cega. 2) 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 or zero-emission vehicles. The District suggests that the County and Project proponent consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for this Project.
