District Regulation VIII - Fugitive Dust Rules is a series of rules designed to reduce PM,o emissions generated by human activity, including construction, road building, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. The following items are suggested, but not required by the SJVUAPCD to further reduce emissions that may ultimately result from development enabled by this project application. The applicant should be provided a copy of these measures and encouraged to incorporate those that are feasible into the overall project design: 1 . Housing units should be oriented to utilize passive solar cooling and heating to the fullest extent possible. 2. Conventional open-hearth fireplaces and zero clearance fireplaces that do not meet EPA Phase Il certification should be discouraged. 3. Trees should be carefully selected and located to shade the structures during the hot summer months.

Deciduous trees should be considered since they provide shade in the summer and allow the su_n to reach the house during cold winter months. 4. Natural gas lines (if applicable) and electrical outlets should be installed in backyards or patios to encourage use of gas and/or electric barbecues. • 5. Electrical outlets should be installed around the exterior of the units to encourage use of electric lawn mowers, edgers, etc. District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss
