• 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.
■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ August 12, 2025 ■
■ Revised Draft Conditions – Hayes MEXT25-0006 ■ Page 3 ■
• 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.

2. Mitigation Measure BIO-1
If project construction activities, including site grubbing and vegetation removal, occur during the nesting season for birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Department Fish & Game Code (CDFC) (approximately February 1 – August 31), the project proponent shall retain a qualified biologist to perform preconstruction surveys for nesting bird species. If
an active nest is discovered outside of the typical nesting season, it shall be avoided using the same avoidance measures that would be applied during the typical nesting season. Surveys to identify active bird nests shall be conducted within and 250 feet around the footprint of proposed construction site. The survey shall be conducted within 7 days prior to the initiation of construction activities. In the event that an
active nest is observed, a species protection buffer shall be established. The species protection buffer will be defined by the qualified biologist based on the species, nest type and tolerance to disturbance. Construction activity shall be prohibited within the buffer zones until the young have fledged or the nest fails. Nests shall be monitored by a qualified biologist once per week and a report submitted to the Butte
County Department of Development Services.
Plan Requirements: Perform protocol-level surveys for migratory birds protected
by the California Department Fish & Game Code and the Migratory Bird Treaty
