Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton shouldrequire all future developers to prepare a dust control plan that commits the construction crews to implement allreasonable control measures described in the Associated General Contractors of Washington’s Guide to HandlingFugitive Dust from Construction Projects. Copies of that guidance document are distributed by PSCAA. The airquality control plans should include BMPs to control fugitive dust and odors emitted by diesel constructionequipment.The following BMPs would be used to control fugitive dust.• Use water sprays or other non-toxic dust control methods on unpaved roadways.• Minimize vehicle speed while traveling on unpaved surfaces.• Prevent track-out of mud onto public streets.• Cover soil piles when practical.• Minimize work during periods of high winds when practical.The following mitigation measures should be used to minimize air quality and odor issues caused by tailpipeemissions.• Maintain the engines of construction equipment according to manufacturers’ specifications.• Minimize idling of equipment while the equipment is not in use.If there is heavy traffic during some periods of the day, scheduling haul traffic during off-peak times (e.g., between9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.) would have the least effect on traffic and would minimize indirect increases in trafficrelated emissions.Draft | June 2013 3-46
