Dust plumes did not leave the workin face area. SOURCE: MEC 2011 The odor and dust surveys identified minimal off-site impacts from odors or visible dust. Odors that were moderate to strong near the working face were reduced to mild, very faint, or non-detectable at locations surveyed on Austin Road. On the days surveyed -- [assumed to be typical operations] the water trucks were seen controlling onsite dust generation by periodically watering the on-site landfill roads and areas used by trucks near the working face. Track-out of dirt onto Austin Road near the entrances to the Forward Recovery Center (Location 2) and Forward Landfill (Location 3) are the source of re-entrained road dust on Austin Road observed during the surveys. Mitigation Measure D-1 would reduce the level of re-entrained dust.
