Mo Hafef J June 30,2006 PA-0600353 - Page 2 Rule 4103(Open Burning)This rule regulates the use of open burning and specifies the types of materials that may be open burned. Agricultural material shall not be burned when the land use is converting from agriculture to non-agricultural purposes (e.g., commercial, industrial, institutional, or residential uses). Section 5.1 of this rule prohibits the burning of trees and other vegetative (non-agricultural) material,. whenever the land is being developed for non-agricultural purposes. In the event that the project applicant burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be subject to District enforcement action. s Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings by j specifying architectural coatings storage,clean up and labeling requirements. 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. Y i Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters)This rule limits PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from residential development. Construction plans for residential developments may be'affedted by section 5.3, specifically: •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 perxacre 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.' The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air-quality impacts. There area number of ' features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note. Some of the measures'may already exist as San Joaquin County development standards. 'Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) 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. ' • 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 htti)://www.hort.cornell.edu/dhi/outreach/csc/. For information on Tree Selection see httb://www.ufei.6rg. For Urban Forestry see http:l/www.coolcommunities.orq, http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu and http://www.lqc.org/bookstore/engLgy/downloads/siv tree quidelines.pdf. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in they project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and. .operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): CI - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) "' ` 'See http://www.energy.ca.govltitle24l. - - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances Fand heating and cooling systems. See http:llwww.6n6rg sy tar..gov/ -- . y- Programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints.
