compliance with this BMP. . Use vacuum street sweepers. . Remove mud and other dirt promptly so it does not dry and then turn into dust. . Techniques that can be used for unpaved roads and lots include: • 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 recon- struction. • Encourage the use of alternate, paved routes, if available. • 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. • Limit dust -causing work on windy days. • Pave unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas. 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 unexpected heavy rains. Hav- ing these materials on -site reduces the time needed to replace existing or implement new BMPs when inspections indicate that existing BMPs are not meeting the Construction SWPPP require- ments. In addition, contractors can save money by buying some materials in bulk and storing them at their office or yard. Conditions of Use Construction projects of any size or type can benefit from having materials on hand. A small commercial development project could have a roll of plastic and some gravel available for immediate protection of bare soil and temporary berm construction. A large earthwork project, such as highway construction, might have several tons of straw, several rolls of plastic, flexible 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 314
