As a result; this project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust <br /> Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation Vlll is to reduce the amount of fine particulate <br /> matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air From man-made sources. The attached <br /> Synopsis highlights many Of the requirements Contained within Regulation VIII. Regulation <br /> VIII has recently been revised, with the revisions become effective May 15, 2002- The <br /> applicant may review these changes at the District web site www.valieyair.org. <br /> This facility would be subject to District Rule 4102 (Nuisance). The purpose of this rule <br /> is to protect the health and safety of the public and applies to any source operation <br /> which emits or may emit air contaminants or other material. A possible violation could <br /> occur if the project proponent discharges quantities of air contaminants which cause the <br /> following nuisances: <br /> n-M t frnw <br /> Frnnirice nir,rtnr%Air Pollution Cor1IMl Offit:Ar <br /> Northern Region office Cen1r21 Reglnn ONirr Southern Region Office <br /> 1210 Kfernon A,enue, Suite 130 5990 L<!
