k i Ms. Kuhl May 8, 2006 PA-0600199(MS) Page 2 Rule 4102 (Nuisance) This rule applies to.any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants i or other materials. In the event that the projector 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 tequirements. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt; Paving,and Maintenance•Ope'rations) 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. E Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters)This rule limits PM10 and PM2.5 emissions, from iresidential, development.• Construction plans for residential developments may be i, affected by section 5.3, specifically: §5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces ior Wood Burning Heaters in New Residential Developments. Beginning January 1, 2004, 5.3.1. No person shall install a.wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a density greater than two (2)dwelling units per acre. 5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase II Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3)dwelling units per acre. 5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two,(2)dwelling units per acre. More .'.information about Rule 4901 can be found on our website at www.valleyair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr.Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at (559) 230-5968. i - Rule 4902 (Residential Water Heaters) This rule applies to and limits emissions of NOx from residential natural gas-fired water heaters. i i. 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, The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and I remain options that the agency with the land-use authority'should consider for incorporation into the project. • Large canopy,trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For information on Structural Soil see l http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For information on Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org . For Urban , Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org, http://wcufre-ucdavis.edu and f. http://www.lgc,oro/bookstore/energy/downloads/sav treeguidelines.pdf. • 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 (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems, and programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems.
