San Joaqu/n Va//ey A/r Po//u Hon Contra/O/sfnc[ Page 2 O/sbfcf Rafamnca No.20220258 March 29,2022 1a) Construction Emissions Project construction air emissions are short-term emissions generated from construction activities and are not expected to exceed the District's significance thresholds. However, the District recommends, to further lessen air quality impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the County consider incorporating the below measure into the Project. Recommended Measure: To reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the Project should utilize clean off-road construction equipment, including the latest tier equipment as feasible. 2) On�Ite Solar Deolovmant It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy 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 reduction strategy for this Project. 3) District Rulss and Reculation The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources and regulates some activities not requiring permits. A project subject to District rules and regulation would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with regulatory requirements. In general, a regulation is a collection of rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. For example, Regu/anon //- Permits encompasses multiple rules associated with the permitting of emission sources such as Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), and others. 3a) District Rules 201 O and 220'1 -Air Quality Parmltting for Stationary Sources Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission. District Rule 201 O requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO)from the District. District Rule 2201 requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using best available control technology (SACT).
