Ms.Allen �- June 7, 2006 . PA-0600207(UP) Page 2 Regulation Vlll (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and trackout, landfill operations, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at hftp://www.vallevair.org/busind/comply/PMI0/Req%20VIII%20CAB.pdf. If a non-residential project is 5.0 or more acres in area or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. Construction activities shall not commence until the District has approved the Dust Control Plan. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at http://www vallevair orq/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form%20-%2012-01-2005.doc. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) This rule applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings by specifying architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements and applies to any person who supplies, sells, offers for sale, applies, or solicits the application of any architectural coating. 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. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. The District commends San Joaquin County and the project developer for incorporating a landscape design that will help reduce air quality impacts. The suggestions listed below are also features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing 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); Energy efficient widows, lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling systems; Programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/and http://www.energystar.gov/ - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html - High-albedo(reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ - Cool Paving. See http://www.harc.edu/harc/Proiects/CoolHouston/and http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ - Radiant heat barrier. See http://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.html - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Porch, patio and walkway overhangs - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org - Electrical outlets around the exterior of the units to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment - Pre-wire the units with high speed modem connections/DSL and extra phone lines - Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site - More information can be found at http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuildinq/, httr)://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.govl, and http://www.consumerenergvicenter.orq/index.html
