Dust along the dirt acccss ro-id could <br /> be controlled by requiring that this ronin e be }laved. <br /> The materials could be provided by the g'>w oposed <br /> beaching plants. <br /> Particulate matter emissions are regulated under the <br /> petrmill: authority of the County Air_- Pollution Control <br /> r4strict. Permits will by re rtii..red for the various <br /> phases of the project. Condk%- .ons can be attached to <br /> any permits issued which will maintain plant operations <br /> in compliance with APCD regulations. For example, a "bac? <br /> room" should be required for batching plants in order to <br /> contain dust emitted by this aspect of the operation. <br /> If warranted, additional measures--such as moni.toY- <br /> ing instruments and regular, emission. rer orts=- -could be <br /> required under APCD permit procedures. <br /> Emissions related to earth moving and aggregate hauling <br /> are unavoidable inpacts that cannot be mitigated given <br /> present technology. <br /> B.
