Dust ControlDust control is the process of preventing wind from picking up dustparticles from the disturbed surface if it is not practical to install aproper cover (mulch, grass, etc.) over the disturbed area. Dust controlis typically carried out by sprinkling water over the area.Erosion Control PlansErosion control plans are used to guide the developer or contractor inimplementing proper erosion control measures to minimize erosion onthe site being developed. A typical Erosion Control Plan should containthe following features:(1) The limit of disturbance(2) The types of erosion control systems recommended for the site(3) The locations for the recommended erosion control systems(4) A schedule indicating when each system should be installedand for how long it should be maintained.(5) A schedule of the various construction activities(6) An identification or labeling system with symbols for theerosion control systems being used(7) Construction details of the erosion control systems showingthe proper installation methods.(8) General notes with instructions for the developer andcontractor to guide the proper installation and maintenancemethodsOnce the construction activities are completed, permanent erosioncontrol measures are required to cover the exposed disturbed areas.This is typically achieved with grassing and planting trees and shrubs.The Erosion Control Plan should therefore be complimented with aLandscaping Plan.33
