San .Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Districts December 24, 2003 John Funderburg San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 SUBJECT: PA-0300612 SITE APPROVAL FOR AN OFF SITE WINE CELLAR. Dear Mr. Funderburg: The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the above referenced project and offers the following comments: The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA and by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10 (fine particulate matter, dust). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. Based on the information provided, it appears that the proposed project will have a less- than-significant impact on the ambient air quality. However, the construction phase of this project can generate emissions from the movement of soil, use of heavy equipment, bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other related activities. Additionally, the parking areas As a result, this project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The Svnopsis is not meant to be all- inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike. A complete listing of the regulation is available on the District web site at www.valleyair.org. Additionally, if the project site contains any buildings needing demolition the applicant will need to be in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos — Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994. Brian Dodds is the Northern Region's District contact for the program and is available should you need further assistance. David L.
