' 1 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District August 28, 2006 Reference No. C200601770 Mo Hatef RECIEVED San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. AUG 2 9 2006 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Community Development Dept Subject: PA-0600066 (SA)-Larry Eckroth- 17142 N. Fox Rd. -APN 051-190-924 Dear Ms. Hatef, The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction activities in preparation of the site, and ongoing traffic and other operational emissions. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project alone would not generate significant air emissions. However, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required. This project may be subject to additional District Rules not enumerated below. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557- 6446. Current District rules can be found at http://www.valleyair.ora/rules/1ruleslist.htm. Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities. road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track out, landfill operations, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at http://www.vallevair.or-q/busind/comply/PM10/Req VIII CAB.pdf.
