Ms. Allen October 27, 2005 PA 0500686(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 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. If the proposed parking area will be unpaved, the surface must be stabilized as per Rule 8071, 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. Construction 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 Smaii Business 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: • 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 http://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.ciov/business/brochures/zerovoc.htmi - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See htt ://eetd.lbl. ovlcooIroof/ - 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://www.harc.edu/harc/Projects/CoolHouston/ , http://eande.Ibl.gov/heatisland/ - Energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems. See http:/lwww.energystar.go - 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.html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights See htt ./Iwww.advancedbuildin gs.or 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.or-q , http:llrredc.nrel.gov/, http://www.ehgiW.ca..qov/renewables/ • The applicant/tenant(s) should require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. r
