CONSTRUCTION STORMWA TER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Job Number 17,733 BMP C14O: Dust Control Purpose Dust control prevents wind transport of dust from disturbed soil surfaces onto roadways, drainage ways, and surface waters. Conditions of Use In areas (including roadways) subject to surface and air movement of dust where on -site and off -site impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or surface waters are likely. Design and Installation Specifications . Vegetate or mulch areas that will not receive vehicle traffic. In areas where plant- ing, mulching, or paving is impractical, apply gravel or landscaping rock. . Limit dust generation by clearing only those areas where immediate activity will take place, leaving the remaining area(s) in the original condition. Maintain the ori- ginal ground cover as long as practical. . Construct natural or artificial windbreaks or windscreens. These may be designed as enclosures for small dust sources. . Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet Repeat as needed. To prevent carryout of mud onto street, refer to BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance I Exit (p.270). . Irrigation water can be used for dust control. Irrigation systems should be installed as a first step on sites where dust control is a concern. Spray exposed soil areas with a dust palliative, following the manufacturer's instructions and cautions regarding handling and application. Used oil is pro- hibited from use as a dust suppressant Local governments may approve other dust palliatives such as calcium chloride or PAM. . PAM (BMP C126: Polyacrylamide (PAM) for Soil Erosion Protection (p.300)) added to water at a rate of 0.5 lbs. per 1,000 gallons of water per acre and applied from a water truck is more effective than water alone. This is due to increased infilt- ration of water into the soil and reduced evaporation. In addition, small soil particles are bonded together and are not as easily transported by wind. Adding PAM may actually reduce the quantity of water needed for dust control. Use of PAM could be a cost-effective dust control method.
