San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 District Reference No.20210676 July 14,2021 The District recommends the development project(s) be evaluated for potential health impacts to surrounding receptors (on-site and off-site) resulting from operational and multi-year construction TAC emissions. i) The District recommends conducting a screening analysis that includes all sources of emissions. A screening analysis is used to identify projects which may have a significant health impact. A prioritization, using the latest approved California Air Pollution Control Officer's Association (CAPCOA) methodology, is the recommended screening method. A prioritization score of 10 or greater is considered to be significant and a refined Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed. For your convenience, the District's prioritization calculator can be found at: http:www.vallevair.org/busind/pto/emission facto rs/C rite ria/Toxics/U til ities/P RIORITIZATION%20RMR%202016.XLS. ii) The District recommends a refined HRA for development projects that result in a prioritization score of 10 or greater. Prior to performing an HRA, it is recommended that development project applicants contact the District to review the proposed modeling protocol. A development project would be considered to have a significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project related health impacts would exceed the Districts significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk and 1.0 for the Acute and Chronic Hazard Indices, and would trigger all feasible mitigation measures. The District recommends that development projects which result in a significant health risk not be approved. For HRA submittals, please provide the following information electronically to the District for review: • HRA AERMOD model files • HARP2 files • Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodology. More information on toxic emission factors, prioritizations and HRAs can be obtained by: • E-Mailing inquiries to: hramodeler(a-_)valleyair.orq; or • Contacting the District by phone for assistance at (559) 230-6000; or • Visiting the Districts website (Modeling Guidance) at: http://www.vallevair.orq/busind/pto/Tox Resources/AirQualityMonitoring.htm.
