□ Thoroughly wet the site to the depth of any cuts.
B) Trenching / Screening / Backfilling:
□ Mist dust cloud resulting from trenching (increase frequency in high winds).
□ Mist material after it drops from screen (increase frequency in high winds).
□ Use water truck or large hose dedicated to trenching & backfilling operations.
SITE STABLIZATION / DISTRUBED SURFACE AREA
A) Temporary Stabilization: (Including weekends & holidays)
□ Water all areas at least twice a day until a crusted surface is formed.

□ Stabilize with gravel and/or recycled asphalt.
□ Apply chemical dust suppressants to maintain surface stabilization.
□ Water all surfaces as needed to minimize visible emissions.
B) Access Points: Vacuum or wet broom daily all dirt or mud on paved road.
□ Install a stabilized construction entrance / coarse gravel pad (Required if any hauling on or off site).
□ Install a wheel washer.
