San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 District Reference No.20210676 July 14,2021 assess current truck routes, in consideration of the number and type of each vehicle, destination/origin of each vehicular trip, time of day/week analysis, vehicle miles traveled and emissions. The truck routing evaluation would also identify alternative truck routes and their impacts on VMT, GHG emissions, and air quality. 1f) Project Related Operational Emissions— Reduce Idling of Heavy Duty Trucks The goal of this strategy is to limit the potential for localized PM2.5 and toxic air quality impacts associated with failure to comply with the state's Heavy Duty anti- idling regulation (e.g. limiting vehicle idling to specific time limits). The diesel exhaust from excessive idling has the potential to impose significant adverse health and environmental impacts. Therefore, efforts to ensure compliance of the anti-idling regulation, especially near sensitive receptors, is important to limit the amount of idling within the community, which will result in community air quality benefits. 1g) Electric On-Site Off-Road and On-Road Equipment Since the Project consists of a manufacturing facility, it may have the potential to result in increased use of off-road equipment (i.e. forklifts) and/or on-road equipment (i.e. mobile yard trucks with the ability to move materials). The District recommends the County advise the project proponent to utilize electric or zero emission off-road and on-road equipment used on-site for this Project. 1 h) Health Risk Screening/Assessment There are sensitive receptors (i.e. residential units) located approximately 0.17 miles east of the Project. The Health Risk Assessment should evaluate the risk associated with sensitive receptors in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit emission exposure to sensitive receptors. A Health Risk Screening/Assessment identifies potential Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) impact on surrounding sensitive receptors such as hospitals, daycare centers, schools, work-sites, and residences. TACs are air pollutants identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health. A common source of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from both mobile and stationary sources.
