equipment and vehicles will operate.
(ii) Pre-water soils.
(iii) Stabilize soil during and after cut
activities.
(g)
Demolition-implosion.
(i) Stabilize surface
area where support equipment and vehicles will be operated.
(ii) Stabilize demolition debris immediately
following blast and safety clearance.
(iii) Stabilize and clean surrounding area
immediately following blast and safety clearance.
(h) Demolition-mechanical and manual.
(i) Stabilize surface areas where support
equipment and vehicles will operate.
(ii) Stabilize demolition debris during
handling.
(iii) Stabilize debris
following demolition.
(iv)
Stabilize surrounding area following demolition.
(i) Disturbed soil.
(i) Limit disturbance of soils where
possible.
(ii) Stabilize and
maintain stability of all disturbed soil throughout construction
site.
(j) Hauling
materials.
(i) Limit visible dust opacity
from vehicular operations.
(ii)
Stabilize materials during transport on site.
(iii) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul
trucks prior to leaving construction site.
(k) Paving subgrade preparation.
(i) Stabilize adjacent disturbed soils
following paving activities by applying water, chemical stabilizer and/or
synthetic cover.
(l)
Sawing and cutting materials.
(i) Limit
visible emissions using water or vacuum.
(m) Screening.
(i) Stabilize surface soils where support
equipment and vehicles will operate.
(ii) Pre-treat material prior to
screening.
(iii) Stabilize material
during screening.
(iv) Stabilize
material and surrounding area immediately after screening.
(v) Minimize transfer height.
(n) Staging areas.
(i) Limit visible dust opacity from vehicular
operations.

area soils during use.
(iii)
Stabilize staging area soils at project completion.
(o) Stockpiling.
(i) Stabilize stockpile materials during and
after handling.
(ii) Stabilize
surface soils where support equipment and vehicles will operate.
(p) Trackout prevention and
cleanup.
(i) Install and maintain trackout
control devices in effective condition at all access points where paved and
unpaved access or travel routes intersect.
(q) Traffic on unpaved routes and parking
areas.
(i) Stabilize surface soils where
support equipment and vehicles will operate.
(r) Trenching.
(i) Stabilize surface soils where trenching
equipment, support equipment and vehicles will operate.
(ii) Stabilize soils after
trenching.
(s) Truck
loading.
(i) Empty loader bucket slowly and

soils where support equipment and vehicles will operate.
(5) The fugitive dust control plan
must include contact information, site address, total area of disturbance,
expected start and completion dates, identification of dust suppressant and
plan certification by signature of a responsible person.
