I RECEIVED San Joaquin Valley NOV 2 9 2004 Air Pollution Control District Community Development Dept. November 24, 2004 Reference#: 20040577 John Funderburg San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 SUBJECT: PA-0400608 (SA) A SITE APPROVAL APPLICATION TO BUILD 6 STEEL FRAME BUILDING FOR A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS. Dear Mr. Funderburg: The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the proposed 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. 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. As a result, this project is subject to District Regulation VII I (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. Please be advised that on August 19, 2004 and September 16, 2004, the District's Governing Board approved amendments to Regulation VIII, Rules 8011-8061 and 8071-8081; respectively, that become effective on October 1, 2004. Of particular note are amendments to Rule 8021 (see section 6.3.1); the Dust Control Plan threshold has changed from 40.0 acres to 5.0 or more acres for non-residential sites. If a non- residential site is 1.0 to less than 5.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities (see section 6.4.2). The attached Compliance Assistnace Bulleting (CAB) highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation VIII. The CAB is not meant to be all inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike.
