1. Mitigation Measure #1:
Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional
map sheet that states: “Dust generated by the development activities shall be kept to a minimum and retained
on-site. Follow the air quality control measures listed below:
Control Dust
a. During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or transportation of cut or fill materials, water
trucks or sprinkler systems are to be used to prevent dust from leaving the site and to create a crust after
each day’s activities cease.
b. During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to keep all areas of vehicle
movement damp enough to prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this would include
wetting down such areas in the later morning and after work is completed for the day and whenever
wind exceeds 15 miles per hour.
c. Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to
prevent dust generation.
d. On-site construction vehicles shall be limited to a speed of 15 mph on unpaved roads.
e. Haul vehicles transporting soil into or out of the property shall be covered.
f. Existing roads and streets adjacent to the project shall be cleaned at least once per day if dirt or mud
from the project site has been tracked onto these roadways, unless conditions warrant a greater
frequency.
g. Other measures may be required as determined appropriate by the BCAQMD or Department of Public
Works in order to control dust.
Post Contact Information
h. Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact regarding dust complaints.
This person shall respond and take corrective action within 24 hours. The telephone number of the
Butte County Air Quality Management District shall be visible to ensure compliance with BCAQMD
Rule 200 & 205 (Nuisance and Fugitive Dust Emissions).
Other Construction Practices
i. Maintain all construction equipment in proper tune according to manufacturer’s specification.
j. Where feasible, give preference to utilizing the following equipment:

Substitute gasoline-powered for diesel-powered equipment
Alternatively fueled construction equipment on site such as compressed natural gas (CNG),
liquid natural gas (LNG), propane, or biodiesel.
Equipment that has Caterpillar pre-chamber diesel engines, as practical.
