1.0 Purpose:
1.1
This Fugitive Dust Control Plan describes the general control measures to be taken by Rust
Constructors Inc. with all Subcontractors creating dust conditions to ensure that dust
suppression techniques are implemented to control fugitive dust sources during all
construction operations.
t2 Measures identified in this plan apply to work within the project area defined as the right -of-
way, access roads, temporary use areas, facilities and other areas used during
construction of the Project.
1.3 All Subcontractor personnel are to be thoroughly familiar with this plan and its contents prior
to initiating their construction activities on this Program.
2.0 Requirements for Dust Control
2.1 Each Subcontractor creating fugitive dust conditions is required to provide dust control
measures for all areas disturbed by construction. The measures addressed within this
section shall be required, as necessary, to control fugitive dust.
2.2 Dust control shall be implemented by each Subcontractor generating dust in areas of active
construction, within 500 feet of highways, residences, and power transmission rights -of -way
(unless waived by the owner /operator).
2.3 Dust control is required near roadways any time dust stays in the air for 5 minutes or
reaches 20 feet in height.
2.4 Dust control shall also be implemented on access roads, as determined by Rust
Constructors Inc., and as required by the Contractor for the health and safety of employees.
2.5 Dust control shall be achieved primarily through application of water or an approved dust
palliative. Application rates for the dust palliative will follow the manufacturer's
recommendations. All dust palliatives used shall be biodegradable. Use of salts with water
as a suppressant is limited to magnesium chloride (MC70).
3.0 Control of Unpaved Roads On -Site
3.1 During construction, operation, and maintenance of the project, each Subcontractor shall
control vehicle speed to minimize fugitive dust.
3.2 Each Subcontractor shall apply dust suppressants to the construction work area and access
roads at the request of Rust Constructors Inc., Client Representatives, the BLM, or county
or state representatives.

a. Construction entrances shall be installed to prevent tracking mud and soil onto paved
roads. These entrances shall be constructed as required by county, state, or BLM
permits.
b. The Subcontractor shall clean any soil tracked onto a paved road that extends more
than 50 feet from the point of origin within one hour of discovery.
c. Any soil tracked onto a paved road that extends Tess than 50 feet shall be cleaned up by
the end of the working day.
d. Additional control measures or operational procedures may include but are not limited
to, covering the loaded haul truck, washing or otherwise treating the exterior of the
vehicle, limiting the size of the load and the vehicle speed, watering or treating the load
with chemical suppressants, and keeping the roadway access point free of materials that
may be carried onto the roadway and other approved methods and techniques as
required.
5.0 Control of Disturbed Areas On -Site
5.1 During construction, operation, and maintenance of the project, each Subcontractor will
suppress dust with application of water or other suppressant as needed, and will control
vehicle speed to 15 mph. All areas disturbed by construction will be revegetated in
accordance with the Client's Reclamation Plan.
5.2 Each Subcontractor shall apply dust suppressants to the construction work area and access
roads at the request of Rust Constructors Inc., Client Representatives, the BLM, and/or
county or state representatives.
5.3 Additional control measures or operational procedures for controlling dust during construction
activities may include but are not limited to, planting vegetation cover, providing synthetic
