San Joaquin Valley <br /> Unified Air Pollution Control District <br /> September 23, 1997 <br /> Jim Van Buren <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department SEP 2 5 1997 <br /> Development Services Division Community ueve(opment Dept, <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: SITE APPROVAL FOR AGRICULTURAL TRUCK PARKING (SA-97-46) <br /> Dear Mr. Van Buren: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District has reviewed the proposed <br /> project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA <br /> and by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10 (fine particulate <br /> matter, dust). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require <br /> areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> Based on the information provided, it appears that this project will not have a significant <br /> impact on the ambient air quality. Therefore, a negative declaration is appropriate from <br /> an air quality perspective. However, driving on unpaved parking areas can generate <br /> fugitive dust emissions. The District recommends that the project proponent manage <br /> the project area in such a way as to avoid excess dust emissions which could <br /> potentially affect any downwind sensitive receptors. Rule 8070 of District Regulation <br /> VIII (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions) includes various techniques designed to limit the <br /> release of fugitive dust. Please refer to the attached Regulation VIII Synopsis for <br /> further information. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please feel free to contact me at (209)545- <br /> 7000 if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tracy er Bettencourt David L.
