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 “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.”

If
human skeletal remains are encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the
County Coroner (530.538.7404). If the County Coroner determines that the remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State Law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains.” The provisions of this mitigation shall be
