San .Joaquin Valley <br /> Air Pollution-.Control District <br /> zoae <br /> Jennifer Jolley January 15, 2002 �/r�EnCU�pe. <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: SU-00-1 306 RESIDENTIAL LOT SUBDIVISION. REVISIONS <br /> Dear Ms Jolley: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the <br /> proposed project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA <br /> and by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10 (fine particulate <br /> matter, dust). 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 related activities. As a <br /> result, this project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The <br /> purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) <br /> entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The attached Synopsis <br /> highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation VIII. The Synopsis is <br /> not meant to be all- 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 Northern Region's District contact for the program <br /> and is available should you need further assistance. <br /> As a result of the Valley's nonattainment status, the District strongly recommends that <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.
