Notice of Public Review and Comment Opportunity

New Gasoline Dispensing Facility at 5484 Overpass Road (Tierra Contracting) 

Tierra Contracting has applied to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) for a permit to install a new aboveground gasoline storage tank and new dispenser at 5484 Overpass Road, Goleta.  The location of the project is within 1,000 feet of Saint Raphael School.  

As part of the District’s evaluation of this proposed installation, we have used a state-approved computer model to assess the potential health risk created by the project’s air emissions.  Our modeling analysis, which is conservatively health protective, shows that the expected air emissions from this installation will be well 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 (Authority to Construct 13643) is available for review at the following locations: District office (260 North San Antonio Rd, Suite A, Santa Barbara), Santa Barbara Public Library: Santa Barbara Branch (40 E. Anapamu, Santa Barbara); and on this website by clicking on the link below:

Sincerely,
