The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. Based on the information provided, it appears that this project will have a less-than- significant impact on the ambient air quality. However, the construction phase of this project can generate emissions from the movement of soil, use of heavy equipment, ,. bulk materials handling; asphalt paving.and other related;activitias;. As a result this0, project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation VIII. The Synopsis is not meant to be all- inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike. Additionally, if the project site contains any buildings needing demolition or renovation the applicant will need to be in compliance with the National Emission Standards for , Hazardous Air pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project ' applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos — Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994.
