105. Dust generated by the development activities shall be kept to a minimum with a
goal of retaining dust on the site through implementation of the following
measures recommended by the SCAQMD Rule 403 Handbook:
• During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or transportation of
cut or fill materials, water trucks or sprinkler systems are to be used to the
extent necessary to prevent dust from leaving the site and to create a crust
after each day’s activities cease.
• Vehicles hauling dirt or other construction debris from the site shall cover
any open load with a tarpaulin or other secure covering to minimize dust
emissions. Immediately after commencing dirt removal from the site, the
general contractor shall provide the City with written certification that all
trucks leaving the site are covered in accordance with this condition of
approval.
• During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or transportation of
cut or fill materials, streets and sidewalks within 150 feet of the site perimeter
shall be swept and cleaned a minimum of twice weekly or as frequently as
required by the PWD.
