. Lower speed limits. High vehicle speed increases the amount of dust stirred up from unpaved roads and lots. . Upgrade the road surface strength by improving particle size, shape, and mineral types that make up the surface and base materials. . Add surface gravel to reduce the source of dust emission. Limit the amount of fine particles (those smaller than .075 mm)to 10 to 20 percent. . Use geotextile fabrics to increase the strength of new roads or roads undergoing reconstruction. . Encourage the use of alternate, paved routes, if available. . Restrict use of paved roadways by tracked vehicles and heavy trucks to prevent damage to road surface and base. . Apply chemical dust suppressants using the admix method, blending the product with the top few inches of surface material. Suppressants may also be applied as surface treatments. . Pave unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas. . Use vacuum street sweepers. . Remove mud and other dirt promptly so it does not dry and then turn into dust. . Limit dust-causing work on windy days. . Contact your local Air Pollution Control Authority for guidance and training on other dust control measures. Compliance with the local Air Pollution Control Authority constitutes compliance with this BMP. Maintenance Standards Respray area as necessary to keep dust to a minimum. BMP C150: Materials on Hand Purpose Keep quantities of erosion prevention and sediment control materials on the project site at all times to be used for regular maintenance and emergency situations such as unex- pected heavy summer rains. Having these materials on-site reduces the time needed to implement BMPs when inspections indicate that existing BMPs are not meeting the Con- struction SWPPP requirements. In addition, contractors can save money by buying some materials in bulk and storing them at their office or yard. 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Volume ll-Chapter 4 -Page 311
