4 Environmental Analysis 4.3 Air Quality Regulation VIII—Fugitive PM10 Prohibition. Rule 8021 Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earth-moving Activities. Pursuant to Rule 8021 Section 6.3, the Project would be required to develop, prepare, submit, obtain approval of, and implement a Dust Control Plan, which would reduce fugitive dust impacts to less than significant for all construction phases of the Project. Table 8021-1 within Rule 8021 provides control measure options for construction, excavation, extraction, and other earth-moving activities. Regulation IX—Mobile and Indirect Sources. Rule 9510 Indirect Source Review (ISR). The ISR rule went into effect March 1, 2006, and requires developers of new residential, commercial, and some industrial projects to reduce NOX and PM10 emissions generated by their projects. Pursuant to Rule 9510, the purpose of the ISR program is to reduce emissions of NOX and PM10 from new land development projects. Section 6.0 of the ISR rule outlines general mitigation requirements for developments that include reduction in construction emissions of 20 percent of the total construction NOX emissions and 45 percent of the total construction PM10 exhaust emissions. The rule also requires the Project to reduce operational NOX emissions by 33.3 percent and operational PM10 emissions by 50 percent, as compared to the baseline. Section 7.0 of the ISR rule includes fee schedules for construction or operational excess emissions of NOX or PM10 if those emissions are above the goals identified in Section 6.0 of the rule. Monies collected from this fee are used by the SJVAPCD to fund emission reduction projects in the SJVAB on behalf of the Project. Rule 9610—State Implementation Plan Credit for Emission Reductions Generated through Incentive Programs. Rule 9610 provides an administrative mechanism for the SJVAPCD to receive credit towards California State Implementation Plan (SIP) requirements for emission reductions achieved in the SJVAB through incentive programs administered by the SJVAPCD, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), or CARB. On April 9, 2015, the USEPA finalized a limited approval and limited disapproval (for a minor administrative error) of Rule 9610 as a revision to the California SIP. Additional documentation regarding the effectiveness of the SJVAPCD's incentive programs can be found in 2015 Annual Demonstration Report SIP Credit for Emission Reductions Generated Through Incentive Programs (SJVAPCD 2015b). San Joaquin County General Plan In 2016, San Joaquin County published their 2035 County General Plan (San Joaquin County 2016). The 2035 General Plan presents a vision for the County's future and provides strategies to implement the plan. The General Plan addresses geographic areas in the County that are unincorporated. The Plan serves as the County's "blueprint" for future land use, development, preservation, and conservation in the County. Air quality is addressed in the Public Health and Safety Element (Chapter 3.3 of the General Plan) and specifies the following policies that are relevant to the Project: Goal PHS-5: To protect public health, agricultural crops, scenic resources, and the built and natural environments from air pollution. 0o PHS-5.2 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Coordination. Requires the County to coordinate with the SJVAPCD during review of new development projects which have the potential to cause adverse air quality impacts.
