product of combustion in diesel engines. It is present at some concentration in all <br />developed areas of the state. Other TACs are less common and are typically associated <br />with industrial operations. <br />As noted, the SJVAPCD is tasked with implementing regulations designed to attain <br />ambient air quality standards. SJVAPCD regulations that are potentially applicable to the <br />project are summarized below. <br />Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust PMIo Prohibitions) <br />Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PMIo emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) <br />generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road <br />construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track <br />out, landfill operations, etc. <br />Rule 4101 (Visible Emissions) <br />This rule prohibits emissions of visible air contaminants to the atmosphere and <br />applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants. <br />Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) <br />Rule 9510, also known as the Indirect Source Rule, is intended to reduce or mitigate <br />construction and operational emissions of NO,, and PMIo generated by new <br />development, either directly and/or by payment of off-site mitigation fees. <br />Construction emissions of NO,, and PMIo exhaust must be reduced by 20% and <br />45%, respectively. Operational emissions of NOX and PMIo must be reduced by <br />33.3% and 50%, respectively. As Rule 9510 applies to residential projects of at <br />least 50 units, it would apply to this project. <br />In 2015, the SJVAPCD adopted a revised Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality <br />Impacts. The Guide defines an analysis methodology, thresholds of significance, and <br />mitigation measures for the assessment of air quality impacts for land development <br />projects within SJVAPCD's jurisdiction. Table 3-2 shows the CEQA thresholds for <br />significance for pollutant emissions within the SJVAPCD. The significance thresholds <br />apply to emissions from both project construction and project operations. <br />Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures <br />a) Air Quality Plan Consistency. <br />The California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) was used to estimate both <br />construction and operational emissions associated with the proposed project. The <br />CaIEEMod results are shown in Appendix A of this document, and Table 3-2 shows the <br />maximum project construction emissions in a calendar year and the annual operational <br />emissions based on the CaIEEMod run. <br />Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-9 May 2022 <br />
