As part of that plan, grading operations would be <br /> scheduled to avoid the rainy season and be implemented by interim <br /> engineering control measures. Before grading is stopped, slopes would be <br /> directed to carry runoff to areas where erosion and sedimentation can be <br /> controlled. Truck beds would be hosed down to reduce soil spillage on <br /> paved roads and wind-blown dust.
