�- F�CEIVED <br /> San Joaquin Valley JAN 1 8 2005 <br /> Air Pollution Control District Community Development Dept. <br /> January 14, 2005 <br /> Gillian Hayes <br /> San Joaquin County Reference#: 20040664 <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: PA-0400756 A USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT A DIGESTER- <br /> DRYER FACILITY TO MANUFACTURE ANIMAL FEED. THE DIGESTER WILL <br /> USE THE MANURE FROM THE EXISTING ON SITE DAIRY. <br /> Dear Ms Hayes: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the proposed <br /> project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA and by the <br /> Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10(fine particulate matter, dust). The <br /> Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require areas that are designated <br /> nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> In addition, this project may contain operations which are subject to the permitting requirement <br /> of the District. Any equipment subject to the District's Permit to Operate requirements must <br /> obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District. Construction of equipment that <br /> requires an ATC or construction of any intimately related appurtenance, such as foundations <br /> and utility hookups for equipment, cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. This process can take <br /> up to 180 days. Construction of equipment not requiring a District permit is not subject to this <br /> ATC requirement. <br /> To determine specific permit requirements, the applicant should contact the District's Small <br /> Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446, or our Permit Services Section at (209) 557- <br /> 6400. To avoid unnecessary delays in the project, this should be done as soon as the applicant <br /> has determined the scope of the project. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to <br /> contact me at (209) 557-6400. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John Cadrett <br /> Environmental Planner <br /> Northern Region David L.Crow <br /> Executive Director/Air Pollution Control Officer <br /> Northern Region Office Central Region Office Southern Region Office <br /> 4230 Kiernan Avenue,Suite 130 1990 East Gettysburg Avenue 2700 M Street,Suite 275 <br /> Modesto,CA 95356-9322 Fresno,CA 93726-0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2373 <br /> (209)557-6400•FAX(209)557-6475 (559)230-6000•FAX(559)230-6061 (661)326-6900•FAX(661)326-6985 <br /> www.valleyair.ore <br />
