Re: New Gas Station 3616 Orcutt Road in Santa Maria
ST Orcutt Fuel, Inc. has applied to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) for a permit to construct and operate a new gas station located at 3616 Orcutt Road in Santa Maria. The project site is within 1,000 feet of the property boundary of Lakeview Junior High School, located at 3700 Orcutt Road in Santa Maria.
As part of the District’s evaluation of this proposed project, we have assessed the potential health risk created by the project’s emissions. Our analysis, which is conservatively health protective, shows that the expected emissions from this new station will be below any levels that would create a significant air toxic risk to public health and the environment. Before our agency issues this permit, state law requires that we notify you, since you are either the parent/guardian of a student attending the school or are a resident or business located within 1,000 feet of the site. We are providing you an opportunity to review and comment on this proposed permitting action. Further, prior to issuing the final permit, we will submit to the permit’s administrative file our written responses to any comments we receive during the comment period.
A copy of the draft permit document (ATC 15992) is available for review on the District website.
Please provide any comments to us within 30 days of the receipt of this notice at the address below (Attn: William Sarraf, 805-979-8312, [email protected]).
