' WE • Water all active construction areas at least twice daily; • Water or cover stockpiles of debris, soil, sand, or other materials that can be blown away by the wind; • Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials, or require all trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard; • Pave, apply water three times daily, or apply non -toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites; • Sweep daily (preferably with water sweepers) if visible soil materials carried onto adjacent public streets; • Hydroseed or apply non -toxic soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas; • Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or wash off the tires or tracks of trucks and equipment leaving the site; • Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hours; • Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways; and • Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible. Finding: The mitigation measures are feasible and would reduce the potentially significant environmental impact described above to a less- than - significant level. The mitigation measures identified would reduce the potentially significant environmental impact described above to a less- than - significant level, because they would substantially reduce the amount of airborne dust generated at the Project site. Watering the site, covering trucks and stockpiles, hydroseeding or soil stablizing, and planting vegetation would contain dust on the ground at the site. Limiting traffic speeds on unpaved roads would reduce the amount of dust lifted into the air by vehicles. Installing sandbags and sweeping would remove exposed dust and silt from streets adjacent to the site. The potential impact of the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario would be similar to the potential impact of the Project as proposed, because the construction activities of the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario would be similar to the construction activities of the Project as proposed. Likewise, the mitigation measures would be similarly effective with respect to the Project as proposed and the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario.
