Ms. Allen October 27, 2005 PA 0500666(UP) Page 3 Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. . This rules.specifies architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. Rule.4.641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt;-Paving and Maintenance Operations);: If asphalt paving will be I. 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 a sphalt.and-emulsified as'halt for paving and maintenance operations If the proposed parking area will be unpaved, the surface must be stabilized as per Rule 807.1., Unpaved Vehicle/Equipment'Traffic Areas. If a generator of 50-brake hp or,more is installed;this project,will be subject to the permitting requirements of the District. Any equipment subject to the District's .Permit to'Operate requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District, . Constructio.n.of equipment that requires an ATC; and intimately related appurtenances. such foundations and utility. hookups for the equipment, cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. Construction of equipment,not.requiring a District permit is not subject to this ATC requirement. Depending upon the nature and complexity of the application and staff workload, ATC approval can take several months. For further information, ;the applicant should contact the. District's Small Busirress-Assistance Office at(209) 557-6446, or our Permit Services Section at(559) 230=5900. 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 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 land-use authority should consider: 1 • As many energy-conserving 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): - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See hftp:l/www.energy.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,agmd.-gov/business/brochures/zerovoc.htmi High-albedo(reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See http:llwww.harc.edu/harc/Proiects/CoolHouston/, http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ - Energy efficient fighting, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.enerqvstar.govl Programmable thermostat(s) for all heating and cooling systems Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.htmi Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights See http://www.advancedbuildings.org 1 • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy self-sufficiency. Examples include (but are not limited to): photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. More information can found at http://www.dsireusa.org/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, http:l/www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/ The appiicant/tenant(s) should require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling.
