The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California -Clean Air Act require <br /> areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met, <br /> Based on the information provided, it appears that the air quality impacts form this <br /> project have been identified in previous documents. However, the construction phase <br /> of this project can generate emissions from the movement of soil,use of heavy <br /> equipment, bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other relatod activities. As a <br /> result, this project is subject to District Regulation Vill (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The <br /> purpose of Regulation Viii is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter(PINI-1 b) <br /> enlrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The attached Synopsis <br /> highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation Viil. The Synopsis is <br /> not meant to be atl- inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office <br /> alike. <br /> Additionally, if the project site contains any buildings needing demolition the applicant <br /> will need to be in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air <br /> pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. <br /> To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS,the project applicant is <br /> advised to review the enclosed Asbestos—Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated <br /> December 1994. Leaf Sexton is the Northam Region's District contact for the program <br /> and is available should you need further assistance. <br /> ' 4 <br /> As a result of the Valleys nonattainment status the District strongly recommends that <br /> Y g y <br /> San Joaquin County and the project applicant implement all feasible mitigation <br /> measures to reduce the amount of ozone precursors that will result from the buildout of <br /> David L.
