AIR QUALITY. When available,the significance <br /> criteria established by the applicable air quality <br /> management or air pollution control district may be <br /> relied upon to make the following determinations. <br /> Would the project: <br /> a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ <br /> applicable air quality plan? <br /> b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> substantially to an existing or projected air quality <br /> violation? <br /> C. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> of any criteria pollutant for which the project <br /> region is a nonattainment area for an applicable <br /> federal or state ambient air quality standard <br /> (including releasing emissions that exceed <br /> quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? <br /> d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ <br /> concentrations? <br /> e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ <br /> number of people? <br /> Setting <br /> The project site is located within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin(SJVAB). <br /> Air quality conditions in the SJVAB are regulated by the San Joaquin Valley <br /> Unified Air Pollution Control District(SJVUAPCD). The region is classified as <br /> a nonattainment area for several air pollutants: particulate matter less than <br /> 10 microns in diameter(PM 10),particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in <br /> diameter(PM2.5),and ozone. <br /> Regional Climate and Meteorology <br /> The area's climate is characterized by warm, dry summers and cool winters. <br /> Wind speed and direction data indicate that summer winds usually originate at <br /> the north end of the SJVAB and flow in a south-southeasterly direction through <br /> the SJVAB and Tehachapi Pass into the Mojave Desert Air Basin. During the <br /> winter,winds occasionally originate from the south end of the SJVAB and flow <br /> Notice of Preparation for the June 2006 <br /> North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill 2_14 gas osso�.os <br /> Permit Revision <br />
