San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 District Reference No.20220244 March 21, 2022 barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought resistant low maintenance greenery. 2) On-site Solar Deployment 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 Project proponent consider the feasibility of incorporating solar power systems, as an emission reduction strategy for this Project. 3) District Rules and Regulation The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources and regulates some activities not requiring permits. A project subject to District rules and regulation would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with regulatory requirements. In general, a regulation is a collection of rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. Here are a couple of example, Regulation II (Permits) deals with permitting emission sources and includes rules such as District permit requirements (Rule 2010), and New and Modified Stationary Source Review (Rule 2201). The list of rules below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: www.vallevair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to this Project or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (209) 557-6446. 3a) District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) The District has reviewed the information provided and has determined the project size is below the District Rule 9510, section 2.1 applicability threshold of 9,000 square feet of educational space. Therefore, District Rule 9510 requirements and related fees do not apply to the project. 3b) Other District Rules and Regulations The Project may also be subject to the following District rules: Regulation VIII, (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions), Rule 4102 (Nuisance), Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings), and Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). In the event an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project may be subject to District Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants).
