San Joaquin Valley <br /> Unified Air Pollution Control District <br /> June 10, 1997 <br /> Kerry Sullivan ��C FIVE <br /> San Joaquin County ,JUN 17 1997 <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division Community Development Dept. <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: USE PERMIT FOR A 990-SEAT REGIONAL CHURCH (UP-97-03) <br /> Dear Ms. Sullivan: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District has reviewed the proposed <br /> project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated serious nonattainment by the <br /> EPA and severe nonattainment by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone). PM- <br /> 10 (fine particulate matter, dust) has been designated serious nonattainment by the <br /> EPA and nonattainment by the ARB. The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the <br /> California Clean Air Act require areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce <br /> 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. However, traffic congestion during church <br /> sessions could generate excess emissions. The District recommends that the project <br /> ingress and egress be designed to allow for the most effective traffic flow. <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.
