The County shall consider the Best Performance Standards adopted by SJVAPCD during the review of new development proposals. Policy PHS-5.6: Toxic Air Contaminants. The County shall require effective buffers between residential areas and other sensitive receptors and nonresidential land uses, such as highways, trucking centers, gasoline dispensing facilities, and dry cleaners, that generate TACs. Policy PHS-5.7: Toxic Air Contaminant Exposure Reduction Measures for New Development . The County shall require new development projects to implement all applicable best management practices that will reduce exposure of sensitive receptors (e.g., hospitals, schools, daycare facilities, elderly housing and convalescent facilities) to TACs. Policy PHS-5.8: Minimize Motor Vehicle Emissions. The County shall strive to minimize motor vehicle emissions through land use and transportation strategies, as well as by promotion of alternative fuels. Policy PHS-5.9: Particulate Emissions from Construction. The County shall support SJVAPCD efforts to reduce PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from construction, grading, excavation, and demolition to the maximum extent feasible and consistent with state and federal regulations. Policy PHS-5.10: Particulate Emissions from County Roads. The County shall require PM10 and PM2.5 emission reductions on County-maintained roads to the maximum extent feasible and consistent with state and federal regulations. Policy PHS-5.11: Paving Materials. The County shall require all access roads, driveways, and parking areas serving new commercial and industrial development to be constructed with materials that minimize particulate emissions and are appropriate to the scale and intensity of use. Policy PHS-5.13: Industrial Best Management Practices. The County shall require industrial facilities to incorporate economically feasible Best Management Practices and control technology to reduce PM10 and PM2.5 emissions consistent with state and federal regulations.

Regional and Local Air Quality Conditions San Joaquin Valley Air Basin Attainment Designation Pursuant to the 1990 federal Clean Air Act amendments, the EPA classifies air basins (or portions thereof) as “attainment” or “nonattainment” for each criteria air pollutant based on whether the NAAQS have been achieved. Generally, if the recorded concentrations of a pollutant are lower than the standard, the area is classified as “attainment” for that pollutant. If an area exceeds the standard, the area is classified as “nonattainment” for that pollutant. If there is not enough data available to determine whether the standard is exceeded in an area, the area
