Delano sits in the heart of Kern County agriculture (grapes, almonds, citrus). Agricultural operations on the city edge are subject to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Rule 8021 (Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities) for fugitive-dust control.
Rule 8021 requires Dust Control Plans for sites disturbing more than 1 acre, with measures including water application, surface stabilization, vehicle wash-off, and 15 mph speed limits on unpaved roads. Agricultural land conversion to urban use must include dust control during the transition period. SB 707 (2019) and AB 617 also affect ag-edge air-quality monitoring.
SJVAPCD penalties for Rule 8021 violations start at $1,000 per occurrence and escalate to $10,000+ for serious violations.
