San Joaquin County August 26, 2004 PA-0400250 Page 2 (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. Please be advised that the District is currently amending Regulation Vlll and anticipates implementing revised requirements on or about October 1, 2004. The applicant should contact the District to determine where requirements may have changed and how these rule changes may affect the project. This project will most likely be subject to the permitting requirements of the District. Any equipment subject to the District's Permit to Operate requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District. Construction of equipment that requires an ATC or construction of any intimately related appurtenances, such as foundations and utility hookups for the equipment, cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. This process can take up to 180 days. Construction of equipment not requiring a District permit is not subject to this ATC requirement. To determine specific permit requirements, the applicant should contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446, or our Permit Services Section at (209) 557-6400. To avoid unnecessary delays in the project, this should be done as soon as the applicant has determined the scope of the project. Finally, District Rule 4103 regulates the burning of agricultural material. Agricultural material shall not be burned when the land use is converting from agriculture to nonagricultural purposes. In the event that the project burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be subject to District enforcement action. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (209) 557-6400. Sincerely, \11\ -`�4i John Cadrett Air Quality Planner Northern Region
