Planning Division, Department of Development Services
1. Mitigation Measure AIR-1
The following best practice measures to reduce impacts to air quality shall be incorporated by the
project applicant, subject property owners, or third-party contractors during construction activities on
the project site. These measures are intended to reduce criteria air pollutants that may originate from
the site during the course of land clearing and other construction operations.
Diesel PM Exhaust from Construction Equipment and Commercial On-Road Vehicles Greater than
10,000 Pounds
• All on- and off-road equipment shall not idle for more than five minutes. Signs shall be posted in
the designated queuing areas and/or job sites to remind drivers and operators of the five-minute
idling limit.
• Idling, staging and queuing of diesel equipment within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors is
prohibited.
• All construction equipment shall be maintained in proper tune according to the manufacturer’s
specifications. Equipment must be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running
in proper condition before the start of work.
• Install diesel particulate filters or implement other CARB-verified diesel emission control
strategies.
• Shall not operate a diesel-fueled auxiliary power system (APS) to power a heater, air conditioner,
or any ancillary equipment on that vehicle during sleeping or resting in a sleeper berth for greater
than 5 minutes at any location when within 100 feet of a restricted areas.
• To the extent feasible, truck trips shall be scheduled during non-peak hours to reduce perk hour
emissions.
Operational TAC Emissions
• All mobile and stationary Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) sources shall comply with applicable
Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCMs) promulgated by the CARB throughout the life of the
project (see http:www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/atcm/atcm.htm).
• Stationary sources shall comply with applicable District rules and regulations.
Fugitive Dust
Construction activities can generate fugitive dust that can be a nuisance to local residents and businesses
near a construction site. Dust complaints could result in a violation of the District’s “Nuisance” and
Butte County Department of Development Services
Conditions of Approval – TPM19-0004/ Wendell Sorenson Page 2 of 6
“Fugitive Dust” Rules 200 and 205, respectively. The following is a list of measures that may be
required throughout the duration of the construction activities:
• Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible.
• Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from
leaving the site. An adequate water supply source must be identified. Increased watering frequency
would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water should
be used whenever possible.
• All dirt stockpile areas should be sprayed daily as needed, covered, or a District approved
alternative method will be used.
• Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and landscape
plans should be implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing
activities.
• Exposed ground areas that will be reworked at dates greater than one month after initial grading
should be sown with a fast-germinating non-invasive grass seed and watered until vegetation is
established.
• All disturbed soil areas not subject to re-vegetation should be stabilized using approved chemical
soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the Butte County Air Quality
Management District.
• All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. In
addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil
binders are used.
• Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the
construction site.
• All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should maintain at
least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in
accordance with local regulations.
• Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks
and equipment leaving the site.
• Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads.
Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible.
• Post a sign in prominent location visible to the public with the telephone numbers of the contractor
and the Butte County Air Quality Management District - (530) 332-9400 for any questions or
concerns about dust from the project.
All fugitive dust mitigation measures required should be shown on grading and building plans. In
addition, the contractor or builder should designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control
program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties
shall include holidays and weekend period when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone
number of such persons shall be provided to the District prior to land use clearance for map recordation
and finished grading of the area.
