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 this project will have a less-than- <br /> significant <br /> ess-thansignificant impact on the ambient air quality. However, the construction phase of this <br /> project can generate emissions from the movement of soil, use of heavy equipment, <br /> bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other related activities. As a result,.this <br /> project is subject to District Regulation VI 11 (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose cf <br /> Regulation Vlll is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into <br /> I the ambient air from man-made sources. The attached Synopsis highlights many of the <br /> requirements contained within Regulation VIII. The Synopsis is not meant to be all- <br /> inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike. <br /> On July 17, 2003 amendments to Rule 4901 were adopted by the District's Governing <br /> s Board. Amendments to the rule affect future construction plans for both residential and <br /> commercial developments, the following is a summary of these changes. <br /> a <br /> David L.Crow <br /> Executive Director/Air Pollution Control Officer <br /> Northern Region Office Central Region Office Southern Region Office <br /> 4230 Kiernan Avenue,Suite 130 1990 East Gettysburg Avenue 2700 M Street,Suite 275 <br /> I <br /> Modesto,CA 95356-9322 Fresno,CA 93726-0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2373 <br /> I (209)557-6400• FAX(209)557-6475 (559)230-6000-FAX(559)230-6061 (661)326-6900•FAX(661)326-6985 <br /> www.valleyair..org <br /> 4 <br />
