Air Quality
AQ-1 Dust Control Measures. The project will not likely exceed the
APCD’s CEQA significance threshold for construction phase
emissions. However, construction activities can generate fugitive
dust, which could be a nuisance to local residents and businesses
in close proximity to the proposed construction site. Therefore, the
following measures shall be implemented during the construction
phase of the project to manage fugitive dust emissions such that
they do not exceed the APCD 20% opacity limit (APCD Rule 401)
and minimize nuisance impacts:
a. Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible;
b. Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient
quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site and
from exceeding the APCD'S limit of 20% opacity for greater
than 3 minutes in any 60-minute period. Increased watering
frequency would be required whenever wind speeds
exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water should be
used whenever possible. Please note that since water use
is a concern due to drought, suppressant should be used
where feasible to reduce the amount of water used for dust
control. For a list of suppressants, see Section 4.3 of the
CEQA Air Quality Handbook;
c. All dirt stock pile areas should be sprayed daily and
covered with tarps or other dust barriers
as needed;
d. Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved

MITIGATION MEASURE TIMING
project revegetation and landscape plans should be
implemented as soon as possible, following completion of
any soil disturbing activities;
e. Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at
dates greater than one month after initial grading should be
sown with a fast germinating, non-invasive grass seed and
watered until vegetation is established;
f. All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation should
be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute
netting, or other methods approved in advance by the
APCD;
g. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should
be completed as soon as possible. ln addition, building
pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading
unless seeding or soil binders are used;
h. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed
15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site;
i. All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials
are to be covered or should maintain at least two feet of
freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load
and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 231 14;
j. lnstall wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit
unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks and
equipment leaving the site;
k. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material
is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers shall
be used with reclaimed water used where feasible. Roads
shall be pre-wetted prior to sweeping when feasible;
l. All PMro mitigation measures required should be shown on
grading and building plans; and,
m. The contractor or builder shall designate a person or
persons to monitor the fugitive dust emissions and enhance
the implementation of the measures as necessary to
minimize dust complaints and reduce visible emissions
below the APCD's limit of 20% opacity for greater than 3
minutes in any 60-minute period. Their duties shall include
holidays and weekend periods when work may not be in
progress. The name and telephone number of such
persons shall be provided to the APCD Compliance
Division prior to the start of any grading, earthwork or
demolition.
AQ-2 Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil. Should contaminated soil be
discovered, an APCD permit shall be required to address proper
management of the hydrocarbon contaminated soil prior to the start
of any earthwork. This permit shall include conditions to minimize
emissions from any excavation, disposal or related process. To the
extent feasible, the developer shall contact the APCD Engineering
& Compliance Division at 781-5912 within 120 days before the start
of excavation to begin the permitting process. In addition, the air
quality impacts from the excavation and haul trips associated with
removing the contaminated soil must be evaluated and mitigated if
total emissions exceed the APCD’s construction phase thresholds.
Should no contaminated soils be located during excavation, the

developer shall notify APCD and the City and provide all
documentation certifying this finding to both agencies.
AQ-3 Demolition / Asbestos. Demolition activities can have potential
negative air quality impacts, including issues surrounding proper
handling, abatement, and disposal of asbestos containing material
(ACM). Asbestos containing materials could be encountered during
the disturbance, demolition, or relocation of below ground utility
pipes/pipelines (e.g., transite pipes or insulation on pipes). If this
project will include any of these activities, then it may be
subject to various regulatory jurisdictions, including the
requirements stipulated in the National Emission Standard for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (40CFR61, Subpart M - asbestos
NESHAP). These requirements include, but are not limited to: 1)
written notification, within at least 10 business days of activities
commencing, to the APCD, 2) asbestos survey conducted by a
Certified Asbestos Consultant, and, 3) applicable removal and
disposal requirements of identified ACM. Please contact the APCD
Engineering & Compliance Division at (805) 781-5912 for further
information or go to slocleanair.org/rules-regulations/asbestos.php

During Construction
AQ-5 Construction Phase ldling Limitations
This project is in close proximity to nearby sensitive receptors
(residential dwellings). Projects that will have diesel powered
construction activity in close proximity to any sensitive receptor shall
implement the following mitigation measures to ensure that public
health benefits are realized by reducing toxic risk from diesel
emissions:
During Construction
MITIGATION MEASURE TIMING
1. California Diesel ldling Regulations:
On-road diesel vehicles shall comply with Section 2485 of Title 13
of the California Code of Regulations. This regulation limits idling
from diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles with gross vehicular
weight ratings of more than 10,000 pounds and licensed for
operation on highways. lt applies to California and non-California
based vehicles. Ln general, the regulation specifies that drivers of
said vehicles:
Shall not idle the vehicle's primary diesel engine for greater
than 5-minutes at any
location, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the
regulation; and,
Shall not operate a diesel-fueled auxiliary power system
(APS) to power a heater, air conditioner, or any ancillary
equipment on that vehicle during sleeping or resting in a
sleeper berth for greater than 5.0 minutes at any location
when within 1,000 feet of a restricted area, except as noted
in Subsection (d) of the regulation.
Off-road diesel equipment shall comply with the 5-minute idling
restriction identified in Section 2449(dX2) of the California Air
Resources Board's ln-Use Off-Road Diesel regulation.
Signs must be posted in the designated queuing areas and job sites
to remind drivers and operators of the State's 5-minute idling limit.
The specific requirements and exceptions in the regulations can be
reviewed at the following web sites: www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truck-
id ling/factsheet.pdf and
www.arb.ca.govlrceact/2OO7/ordiesloT/frooal.pdf
2. ln addition to the State required diesel idling requirements, the
project applicant shall comply with these more restrictive
requirements to minimize impacts to nearby sensitive receptors:
Staging and queuing areas shall not be located within 1,000
feet of sensitive receptors;
Diesel idling within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors shall
not be permitted;
Use of alternative fueled equipment is recommended; and
Signs that specify the no idling areas must be posted and
enforced at the site.
AQ-6 Truck Routing
Proposed truck routes should be evaluated and selected to ensure
routing patterns have the least impact to residential dwellings and
other sensitive receptors, such as schools, parks, day care centers,
nursing homes, and hospitals.
During Construction
MITIGATION MEASURE TIMING
lf the project has significant truck trips where hauling/truck trips are
routine activity and operate in close proximity to sensitive receptors,
toxic risk needs to be evaluated.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
HAZ-1 An assessment of the soil conditions will be required to determine if
any remediation is necessary. The applicant will work with the San
Luis Obispo County Environmental Health department to determine
what previous testing and reporting has occurred on-site and what
testing is required prior to construction. Testing may include shallow
soil and gas testing up to 10-feet and a soil vapor test. If any
contaminated soils or noxious vapors are discovered, all
requirements set forth by SLO County Environmental s hall be
implemented.
Prior to any site
development
Transportation & Traffic
TP-1 Visual signs or striping shall be required to designate both
driveways as right-turn only for exiting vehicles.
