in the Drainage Analysis for the Reed School Watershed Area, dated November 1997, prepared

Air Ollalily
Mitigation Measure 5,1: Contractors shall be required to implement the following measures, at
r- a minimum, to reduce dust generation:
. Suspend earthmoving and other dust-producing activities during periods of high winds
when dust control is not effective
. Water or cover stockpiles of debris, soil, sand or other materials which can be blown by
the wind
. Provide equipment and manpower to water and reseed all exposed or disturbed soils
surfaces. Add an appropriate dust palliative or suppressant to water before application.
. Sweep the construction area and adjacent streets to remove mud and debris, since this
material can be pulverized and later resuspended by vehicle traffic
. Water, seed, cover and/or treat completed cuts and graded areas with dust suppressants as
soon as grading activities cease.
Watering for dust control is estimated to reduce dust emissions by about 50%. The combined
effect of all measures listed in this mitigation would reduce dust emissions by 70-80%, which
would keep project dust impacts at less than significant levels.
