San Joaquin Valley <br /> Unified Air Pollution Control District <br /> i <br /> January 20, 1998 <br /> Kerry Sullivan Cpm AN2� 1-9-98 <br /> 99 <br /> San Joaquin County 4/mI'/ 8 <br /> Community Development Department �yE,�p ? <br /> Development Services Division pm�'/V& <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue fpr <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: USE PERMIT FOR A REGIONAL CHURCH (UP-97-10) <br /> Dear Ms. Sullivan: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) has reviewed <br /> the proposed 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 have a less-than- <br /> significant impact on the ambient air quality. Therefore, a negative declaration is <br /> appropriate from an air quality perspective. However, traffic congestion before and <br /> after church sessions could temporarily cause localized increases in ambient CO <br /> emissions. The District recommends that the project ingress and egress be designed to <br /> allow for the most effective traffic flow to minimize vehic!e. idlina. <br /> The construction phase of this project can generate emission from the movement of <br /> soil, use of heavy equipment, bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other related <br /> activities. As a result, this project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive <br /> Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine <br /> particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The <br /> attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation <br /> VIII. The Synopsis is not meant to be all inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid <br /> in the field and office alike. <br /> David L.
