San Joaquin County September 18, 2001 GP-01-13 & ZR-01-09 Page 2 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. The attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation VIII. The Synopsis is not meant to be all- inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike. There are a number of mitigation measures that can be incorporated into the design of this project to reduce the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the mitigation measures may already exist as county development standards. All other measures should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) ♦ Provide bicycle parking facilities for patrons and employees. Employee bicycles parking should be enclosed or in a covered secure area. ♦ Exits onto adjoining streets should be carefully designed to reduce time required to re-enter traffic from the project site. ♦ Planting of deciduous trees on the south and westerly facing sides of buildings. ♦ Provide low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitting and/or high efficiency water heaters. ♦ If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage residents to use it. If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the future, appropriate easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, and shelters. ♦ Sidewalks and bikepaths should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible and should be connected to any nearby open space areas, parks, schools, commercial areas, etc. If the project site contains any buildings needing demolition or renovation the applicant will need to be in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos — Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994.
