' Ms. Lein U `. October 19,2005 PA-0500642 (MS) Page 2 Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rule specifies architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). If asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters) limits PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from residential development. Construction plans for residential developments may be affected by section 5.3, specifically: §5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces or Wood Burning Heaters in New Residential Developments. Beginning January 1, 2004, 5.3.1 No person shall install a wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a density greater than two (2)dwelling units per acre. 5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase 11 Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3) dwelling units per acre. 5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2) dwelling units per acre. More information about Rule 4901 can be found at our website- www.vallevair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at (559)230-5968. Rule 4902 (Residential Water Heaters)limits emissions of NOx from residential developments. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as (City)(County) development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): - Large canopy trees to protect the building from environmental conditions. See http://www.ufei.org/ for tree selection and http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/for structural soil. - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energV.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paint_quide.htmi - High-albedo (reflecting)roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ - Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energystar.gov/ - Install solar water-heating system(s) - Install photovoltaic cells - Programmable thermostat(s)for all heating and cooling systems - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Porch, patio and walkway overhangs - Ceiling fans,whole house fans - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See hftp://www.advancedbuildings.org
