A template of the District's Dust Control Plan,is available at: http:llwww.valleyair.org/busindlcomply1PM101forms/DCP-Farm°/o20-%2010-14-2004.�df E The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as County development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. • The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program contact the District at (559) 230-5858 or visit our website at htto://www.valleyair.org/transportation/heavydutyidx.htm. • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy self-sufficiency. Examples include (but are not limited to): photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. More information can found at- http://www.dsireusa-org http://www.energ�ca.govlrenewablesl • The applicant/tenant(s) should require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. The applicant should install equipment that provides amenities that would otherwise be powered by idling engines. An example of such technology includes ldleAire. See http:llwww.idleaire.com/.
