a. A summary of ambient air quality in the vicinity of the facility, expressed in terms of levels of sulfur dioxide, particulates and carbon monoxide concentrations, compared with all applicable ambient air quality standards. This data may be obtained from on-site monitoring or, upon approval of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Environmental Quality, from the nearest New Jersey State monitoring site.

b. An analysis of the use of all existing and proposed access roads, including:

(1) Current traffic volume, in vehicles per hour, for peak hours, for peak eight-hour periods and for an average day.
(2) Traffic capacity, in vehicles per hour, calculated pursuant to the procedures set out in the Highway Manual 1965, Highway Research Board Special Report 87 and NAS-NRC Publication 1328.
 

c. An estimate of traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed development, in vehicles per hour, for peak hours and peak eight-hour periods at the time of completion of construction and 10 years after completion.

d. A description of parking facilities including:

(1) Locations.
(2) Number of parking spaces.
(3) Number of parking levels.
(4) Whether the parking area is to be open or covered.
 

e. An analysis of emissions from space heating, including:

(1) Type and amount of fuel used and pollution emission factors used to calculate emissions.
(2) The emission rates of sulfur dioxide, particulates, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in tons per day averaged over the five-month heating season.
 

f. An analysis of motor vehicle emissions to be generated by the proposed development and, where appropriate, by growth induced by the proposed development based on annual average daily traffic and space heating emissions expressed as tons per day of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulates. The latest data available from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Publication AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollution Emission Factors, is to be used to calculate emissions if more definitive information is not available.

g. An analysis of the effect of carbon monoxide emissions on air quality, including anticipated carbon monoxide concentrations compared with ambient air quality standards and with concentrations in the absence of the proposed development at places of maximum concentration and at critical locations, including monitoring sites and sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, residences and playgrounds. This analysis should be prepared pursuant to the procedures established in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's publications Guidelines for Air Quality, Maintenance, Planning and Analysis, Volume 9: Evaluating Indirect Sources, Publication No. EPA-450/4-750-001 OAQPS No. 1.2-028, or equivalent procedure.

h. An analysis of the availability of public transportation and, for housing projects, the accessibility, including distance, safety and convenience of route, by automobile and by other modes of transportation of the following facilities:

(1) Medical, including professional offices and hospitals.
(2) Recreational.
(3) Educational.
(4) Commercial, including personal shopping.
(5) Places of employment.
 

i. A description of measures taken in planning the proposed development which are intended to reduce vehicle miles travelled, including but not limited to those measures described in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's publication Guidelines for Air Quality Maintenance, Planning and Analysis, Volume 3: Control Strategies (Chapter II, § E) Publication No. EPA-450/4-74-003 (OAPQS No. 1.2-002) and in § 108(f)(i)(A) of the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1977, 42 U.S.C. Subsection 741.O.

j. A description of measures taken in planning the proposed development which are intended to reduce emissions from the completed development in accordance with the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq. Applicable standards for dust control are available in the New Jersey Department of Agriculture's publication Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey.

k. Information evidencing compliance with the provisions of the New Jersey Administrative Code, Title 7, Chapter 27 (New Jersey Air Pollution Control Regulations), and 45 F.R. 52676 through 52748 (8-7-80) (Environmental Protection Agency Regulations for Prevention of Significant Deterioration).

Applications for the following developments shall ensure that all state ambient air quality standards in N.J.A.C. 7:27 et seq. for carbon monoxide shall not be exceeded at places of maximum concentration and at sensitive receptors:

a. Residential development of 50 or more units and any other development involving more than 100 parking spaces located in the RS-1, RS-2, RGD-1, RGD-2, PPE, GC, RC, GMS, PI, RHO, VRD, HVC, HVR, HC-1, HC-2 or RHC Districts; and

b. Residential development of 100 or more units and any other development involving more than 300 parking spaces located in the PD, FD, APA or SAPA Districts.

See § DR-521A for more information on air quality.
