City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor Draft EIR signed a final rule to approve in part and disapprove in part the SCAQMD 2003 1 -hour ozone plan and the nitrogen dioxide maintenance plan. The parts of the plan that were approved strengthen the SIP. The Clean Air Act does not require the disapproved portions of the plan, and the disapprovals do not start sanctions clocks. The 2007 AQMP outlines a detailed strategy for meeting the national health -based standards for PM2.S by 2015 and 8 -hour ozone by 2024 while accounting for and accommodating future expected growth. The 2007 AQMP incorporates significant new emissions inventories, ambient measurements, scientific data, control strategies, and air quality modeling. Most of the reductions will be from mobile sources, which are currently responsible for about 75 percent of all smog and particulate forming emissions. The 2007 AQMP includes 37 control measures proposed for adoption by the SCAQMD, including measures to reduce emissions from new commercial and residential developments, more reductions from industrial facilities, and reductions from woodburning fireplaces and restaurant charbroilers. South Coast Air Quality Management District Rules The AQMP for the basin establishes a program of rules and regulations administered by SCAQMD to obtain attainment of the State and national ambient air quality standards. The rules and regulations that apply to this project include, but are not limited to, the following. SCAQMD Rule 402 prohibits a person from discharging from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. SCAQMD Rule 403 governs emissions of fugitive dust during construction and operation activities. Compliance with this rule is achieved through application of standard Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as application of water or chemical stabilizers to disturbed soils, covering haul vehicles, restricting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour, sweeping loose dirt from paved site access roadways, cessation of construction activity when winds exceed 25 mph, and establishing a permanent ground cover on finished sites. SCAQMD Rule 445 prohibits permanently installed woodburning devices into any new development. A woodburning device means any fireplace, woodburning heater, or pellet - fueled wood heater, or any similarly enclosed, permanently installed, indoor or outdoor device burning any solid fuel for aesthetic or space - heating purposes, which has a heat input of less than one million British thermal units per hour. SCAQMD Rule 481 applies to all spray painting and spray coating operations and equipment. Michael Brandman Associates 4.2 -11 H\Cl t(PN- JMb327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Se 4GAvQ ity.D.
