SECTION 01 56 00
DUST CONTROL
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 SUMMARY
A. The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all labor, materials and equipment and performing all work required for the control and prevention of fugitive dust during and as the result of construction operations under this contract. Except for those measures set forth in other Technical Provisions of these specifications.
For the purpose of this specification, fugitive dust entails the generation of solid particles by the forces of wind or machinery acting upon exposed materials. Provisions of this specification shall prevent fugitive dust from adversely affecting human health or welfare; unfavorably altering ecological balances of importance to human life; affecting other species of importance to man; or degrading the utility of the environment for aesthetic and recreational purposes.
B. Dust Control is a requirement in the EPA and state pollutants discharge elimination system or permit for discharging storm water during construction. Contain dust around all ARSR electronic equipment with PVC sheets suspended from the ceilings. Do not cover the equipment as that would cause the electronic equipment to overheat.

PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 PRODUCTS AND PROCEDURES
Products and procedures used in controlling particulates and dust shall be in accordance with the Contractor's Environmental Protection Plan and the dust control plan required by this Section. Material Safety Data Sheets for soil binders for use in dust control shall be approved prior to application. Soil binders containing carcinogenic substances (e.g. acrylamides) are prohibited.
3.1 DUST CONTROL
Control techniques for fugitive dust sources shall involve watering. For arid regions and dusty work areas, dust control shall include water application with soil binders that is environmentally sustainable and non-toxic. The methods utilized shall be cost effective, water conservation, and appropriate for the size and scope of the fugitive dust source. Methods and controls shall not have an adverse effects on plant and animal life, ecosystem, and facility air intakes, or contaminate the treated material.
Repeat methods at such intervals as to keep all parts of the disturbed area(s) treated at all times. Have sufficient competent equipment on the job to accomplish control techniques. Products shall provide a method to reduce dust-related environmental concerns and aid in complying with applicable regulations.
Products shall not in any form produce any adverse environmental effects through their use and shall provide an effective, clean, safe control of airborne dust and protection against soil erosion.
3.1.1 Preventative Techniques
The reduction of source extent, the incorporation of process modifications, or adjusted work practices, which reduce the amount of dust-generation, are preventative techniques for the control of fugitive dust emissions. These techniques include the elimination of mud and dirt carry-out onto paved roads at construction sites.
3.1.2 Mitigative Techniques
01 56 00 - 3
Mitigative measures entail the periodic removal of dust-producing material. Examples of mitigative control measures include clean-up of spillage on paved or unpaved travel surfaces and clean-up of material spillage at transfer points.
3.2 MATERIALS HANDLING
The Contractor shall take the following minimum precautions to limit fugitive dust emissions from material handling and transportation to achieve control of dust emissions to the extent practicable.
a. Transportation: At a minimum, complete covering, maintain a minimum 12 inch free-board space, and moistening of materials hauled from the construction site. Open truck beds, since they create airborne particulate matter, are prohibited. Additional application of water with approved soil binder shall be required if additional controls are considered necessary by the Contracting Officer.
3.3 CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION
Control dust resulting from demolition and construction activities. No person may cause, suffer, allow, or permit a structure, road, street, alley, or parking area to be constructed, altered, repaired, or demolished, or land to be cleared without taking minimum precautions to achieve control of dust emissions.
3.3.1 Demolition
Control the amount of dust resulting from demolition to prevent the spread of dust to occupied portions of the construction site and to avoid creation of a nuisance in the surrounding area. The use of water, oil, or chemical treatment for control of dust in the demolition of structures, in construction operations, in work performed on a road, parking area, or in the clearing of land is required.
3.3.2 Sandblasting
Utilize adequate methods, including enclosure of work areas and debris, to prevent airborne particulate matter during sandblasting of painted and non-painted structures or other similar operations. Blast media and containment systems shall be approved prior to use.
3.4 ACCESS ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
No person may cause, suffer, allow, or permit any public, industrial, commercial, or private road, street, or alley to be used without taking precautions to achieve control of dust emissions.
In addition to mitigation and control techniques, the removal of soil or other materials shall be periodically performed by mechanical sweepers or their equivalent. Spot clean dirty roadways and parking lots. These activities shall be performed as deemed necessary. Remove sand which is applied for the specific purpose of snow or ice control as soon as such control is no longer necessary.
