Ms. Kuhl ../ August 4,2005 PA-0500484 Page 2 Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants). In the event that any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project will be subject to District Rule 4002. Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing structures on the project site may be required to identify the presence of any asbestos containing building material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must be removed by a certified asbestos-contractor in accordance with CAL-OSHA requirements. If you have any questions concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr. Dwayne England of this office at (559) . 230-5973, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559) 454-1295. An Asbestos Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rule specifies architectural coatings storage, cleanup and labeling requirements. 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: • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/titte24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbi.gov/coolroof/ - Radiant heat barrier. See htto://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htmi - Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating R cooling systems. See htto://www.energystar.goy/ - Install solar water-heating system(s) - Install photovoltaic cells - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Patio and walkway overhangs, Ceiling fans - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org • 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.
