<br /> Regulation VlfF (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of
<br /> rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly-dustldirt) generated by human activity,
<br /> including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved
<br /> and unpaved roads, carryout and track out, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for
<br /> construction sites can be - found at:
<br /> http:l/www.valleVair.org/busind/comply/PM10/Rea%20VIIl%20CAB pdf
<br /> If a non-residential.project is 5.0 or more acres in area'or will include moving depositing, or
<br /> relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust
<br /> Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. A template of the `
<br /> District's Dust Control Plan is available at:
<br /> http://www,valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DC-P-Form%20-%fl2010-14-2004.pdf.
<br /> If a non-residential site is 1.0 to less than 5.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written

<br /> ' 2004.pdf.
<br /> The project will likely be subject to provisions within Rule 8021 (Construction, Demolition, Excavation,
<br /> Extraction and Other Earthmoving Activities), Rule 8031 (Bulk Materials), Rule 8041 (Carryout and Track
<br /> out), Rule 8051 (Open Areas), Rule 8061(Paved and Unpaved Roads), and Rule 8071 (Unpaved
<br /> Vehicle/Equipment Traffic Areas), Rule 8061 places new thresholds and requirements on limiting Visible
<br />' Dust Emissions (VDE) from unpaved road segments. Rule 8071 also contains new thresholds and
<br /> requirements. Current District rules can be found at http://www.valleyair.oLg/rules/1ruleslist htm.
