Pursuant to Rule 207, Section 6.9, the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) solicits written comments on the preliminary decision to approve issuance of two Authorities to Construct (ATCs) APP-24-00059 and APP-24-00060 to Constellation Brands U.S. Operations, Inc. dba Gonzales Winery (Gonzales Winery) for the replacement of two permit exempt natural gas boilers rated below 2 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr). The facility will install two new natural gas hot water boilers, each rated at 4 MMBtu/hr. The equipment is located at the Gonzales Winery at 800 South Alta Street in Gonzales.

The facility-wide volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are greater than or equal to the Offset threshold limits listed in Sections 4.2 and 5.3 of Rule 207. As demonstrated in the Evaluation Report, the hot water boiler installation projects meet the requirements of Part 4 and Part 5 of Rule 207. Hence, MBARD’s preliminary decision to approve the projects is being proposed because the facility has the capability of complying with all applicable MBARD rules and regulations.  The Evaluation Report is available below to review.

Public Comments: The public has an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project. Under special circumstances, MBARD may hold a public hearing. Written comments must be submitted by email or mail to the address below and be postmarked by Friday, September 20, 2024.
