Specifically: <br /> §5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces or Wood Burning Heaters <br /> in New Residential Developments: <br /> Beginning January 1,2004, <br /> 5.3.1 No person shall install a wood burning fireplace in a new <br /> residential development with a density greater than two (2) dwelling <br /> units per acre. <br /> 5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase II <br /> Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential <br /> development with a density equal to or greater than three (3) <br /> dwelling units per acre. <br /> 5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning <br /> fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new <br /> residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2) <br /> dwelling units per acre. <br /> The following mitigation measure should be considered. <br /> • Require construction equipment used at the site to be equipped <br /> catalysts/particulate traps to reduce q peed with <br /> catalysts/traps require the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel 15 fissions. These <br /> California Air Resources Board (ARB) has verified a limited number f these <br /> devices for installation in several diesel engine families to reduce particulate <br /> emissions. At the time bids are made, have the contractors show that the <br /> construction equipment used is equipped with particulate filters and/or catalysts <br /> or prove why it is infeasible. <br /> • The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take <br /> advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project <br /> emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of <br /> older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The <br /> program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks <br /> with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel <br /> heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program <br />
