Airborne Asbestos Dust Issues: If the plan is approved, you may see the following activities associated with the mitigation activities:
Personnel using heavy equipment, such as bulldozers and tractors, and wearing safety gear;
Water trucks lightly spraying the soils to prevent dust from becoming airborne;
Air and dust monitoring at site boundaries;
75 to 150 trucks delivering imported clean fill during a 1 to 2 week period;
Placement of geotextile fabric as a warning barrier over NOA soils and covering with clean fill; and,
