The applicant mustcontact the District's Small'Business Assistance Office at (209) 6674446-to-receive additional information/instructions: Rule 4101. (Visible Emissions) .This rule.'prohib4. its emissions of visible air. contaminants to.the . . -•.atmosphere and applies to ;any .Source operation Fthat-;emits,o�- may emit;.air contaminants: The applicant`must contact the Distncts'Small in Busess Assistance Office at (209} 557=6446;to receive 4 additional information/instructions , Rule 410&(Nuisance) Applies to ar1iy source operation that emits or may emit air;contamrnants'or other`materials. In.the event that the project orconstructEon of.the project creates a public nuisance, it-could.be in violation and be subject to D:istnct,enforcement action :Rule 4,03_(Open Burnirig).regulates the:use of open turning and specifies the.types of materials that may be open.burned. Agricultural material shall hot be burned wh' _ hi land use is converting from agriculture to non-agricultural purposes (e,g commercial, industrial-:institutional, or residential uses). Section 5`1' of this rule prohibits the buriimg of tress and other vegetative`(non=agricultural) material . whenever the land is being developed.for non-agricultural purposes. In the event that the project applicant burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4201 (Particulate Matter Concentration) This rule shall apply to any source operation, which . emits or may emit dust, fumes,or total suspended particulate matter. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). if asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be,subject.to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. Rule 4702 (Internal Combustion Engines — Phase 2) This rule applies to any internal combustion engine with a rated brake horsepower greater than 50 horsepower (for example, a standby generator fueled by diesel). As of May 1, 1994, all portable emission units are required to register with the District or the California Air Resources Board. Should.this project require the installation of an auxiliary diesel or natural gas engine greater than fifty (50) brake horse power, application for an Authority to Construct may be required. Any questions pertaining to District permitting or registration requirements should be direct to our Small Business Assistance Office at(209) 557-6446 or our Permit Services division at(209) 557-6400. 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 for incorporation into the project. The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program contact the District at(559) 230-5858 or visit our website at http-. www.vallevair.org/transportationiheavyduty_idx.htm.
