Ms.Allen October 24,2005 <br /> PA-0500699(GP) Page 5 <br /> - Implement activity management(e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts) <br /> - During the smog season (May through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the number <br /> of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. <br /> - Off road trucks should be equipped with on-road engines when possible. <br /> - Minimize obstruction of traffic on adjacent roadways. <br /> In addition to the above measures, the District has entered into Air Quality Mitigation Agreements (Mitigation <br /> Agreement) with several developers as an alternative approach to further reducing air quality impacts. These <br /> agreements require the District and the applicant to quantify operational emissions, and identify on-site <br /> mitigation to reduce the proposed project's net impact on air quality. The developer commits to providing <br /> funding on a per-ton of emissions basis to the District to purchase emission reductions through its grant and <br /> incentive programs to fully mitigate the net emissions. The District commits to reduce the net emissions and to <br /> manage and monitor the emission reduction projects over time. <br /> The District asks that developers interested in a Mitigation Agreement meet with District staff to discuss the <br /> specifics of the project and the contract. District staff is available to meet with project proponents to discuss <br /> Mitigation Agreements for specific projects. Examples of Air Quality Mitigation Agreements have been included. <br /> For more information, or questions concerning this topic, please call Mr. Dave Mitchell, Planning Manager, at <br /> (559) 230-5800. <br /> District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss the regulatory requirements that <br /> are associated with this project. If you have any questions or require further information, please call me at(559) <br /> 230-5800 or Mr. Hector Guerra, Senior Air Quality Planner, at(559)230-5820 and provide the reference number <br /> at the top of this letter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 22�ica R.Willis <br /> Air Quality Specialist <br /> Central Region <br /> C: file <br />
