San Joaquin Valley <br /> Air Pollution Control District goo, �FCI <br /> /yG6'1,C' �vo� <br /> December 10, 2002 <br /> Chandler Martin <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: SA-01-21(TE) TIME EXETNSION FOR A SITE APPROVAL <br /> APPLICATION FOR INSTALLATION OF A GAS TURBINE BASED <br /> GENERATING FACILITY. <br /> Dear Mr. Martin: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the <br /> proposed project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin has been designated nonattainment by the EPA and <br /> by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10 (fine particulate matter, <br /> dust). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require areas <br /> that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> Based on the information provided, this project appears to be an extension of a previous <br /> approved action. However, since the original action was approved, the area of the <br /> county where the project is proposed has seen several additional power generation <br /> facilities approved. Therefore, the District would recommend that this project include a <br /> discussion of cumulative air quality impacts that would cover all of the additional <br /> facilities and the current project. <br /> The subject facility has withdrawn its application for a permit to operate from the District <br /> and would have to reapply prior to starting any construction. Therefore, the <br /> environmental document should list the District permit as a related project and should <br /> discuss all environmental effects associated with the operation of the power plant. <br /> David L.
