San Joaqu/n Ve//sy A/r Po/luf/on Can/na/O/sMct Page 4 O/sff/cf/iafarenca N¢20210684 Ju/Y l2,202f Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance is available online at the District's website www.vallevair.orc/ceaa. 4) Venatativa Barriers and Urban Greening The Project is located in a primarily rural area. However, there are residential units located adjacent from the facility on East 11 t^ Street and Mancuso Road. Tha District suggests the County consider the feasibility of incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (i.a. residential units). While various emission control tachniq ues and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have bean shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population's exposure to air - pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought resistant low maintenance greenery. 5) Solar Daolovment to the Community It is the policy of the State of California that renewable anergy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the County consider the feasibility of incorporating solar power systems, as an emission rad uction strategy for this Project. 6) Charon Uol Electric Vehicle Charger To support further installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of such infrastructure,the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of this incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel tach nologies and the use of low orzero-emission vehicles. The District suggests that the County and Project proponent consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for this Project.
