plan. Providing PM10 notes on the grading plan will no longer be adequate.
Consult the AQMD Dust Control Handbook for additional requirements on
larger projects.
2. The PM10 plan wil l need to be prepared per the instructions in the AQMD
Dust Control Handbook. Form templates for preparing the plan are available
from the City or the AQMD.
3. Any individual responsible for preparing a PM10 plan must possess a
certificate of attendance for the Coachella Valley Fugitive Dust Control Class.
4. Any person performing any site grading, whether contractor or owner, must

7. Site Mapping
Provide a map showing the vicinit y of the project clearly identifying the closest major cross streets or other landmarks
and the project location. Label this map “Vicinity Map”. Required map size is 8 ½” by 11”.
Provide an 8 ½” by 11” or larger Site Exhibit for the property(s) on which the project will be occurring. Identify the
affected parcels. Identify location of site entrances, internal unpaved haul routes, wind fencing, areas to be
chemically stabilized and other proposed and required dust control mitigations. Projects that are only installing or
constructing linear features such as roads, pipelines or other utilities that border or cross more than one Assessor’s
parcel do not require a Site Exhibit, but must provide a detailed vicinity map adequately depicting the entire project
area. If the project is divided into construction phases (separate physical project areas), provide an exhibit clearly
identifying the phases.
8. Attach a Fugitive Dust Control Plan
ü Projects with less than 10 acres of disturbed surfaces must complete a nd attach a Fugitive Dust Control
Plan (Form DCP) or equivalent.
ü Projects with 10 acres or more of disturbed surfaces must complete and attach a Site-Specific Fugitive
Dust Control Plan. Guidance for preparation of a Site-Specific Fugitive Dust Control P lan is available
upon request.

FUGITIVE DUST CONTRO L PLAN PREPARATION G UIDANCE FOR
SMALLER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
(LESS THAN 10 ACRES)
The following instructions have been prepared to assist project operators in preparing a Fugitive Dust
Control Plan for construction activities with les s than 10 acres of disturbed surfaces. Submitting a
complete Fugitive Dust Control Plan is essential in expediting the process, so please read and follow the
instructions carefully.
Fugitive Dust Control Plan Guidance
Use the attached pages (Form DCP) to designate the dust control actions to be implemented on-site.
Separate the actions to be implemented during the various project phases (e.g., clearing/grubbing and
mass grading, finish grading, and site construction, etc.). If applicable, describe the additional control
actions to be implemented on-site.
Please remember the following when preparing a Fugitive Dust Control Plan:
ü A complete copy of the Fugitive Dust Control Plan and all maps must be on-site prior to
beginning construction activity and must be retained on-site at all times during project
construction.
ü Construction signage must be installed on-site prior to construction. Guidelines for construction
signage are found in this packet.
ü Dust control is required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the duration of the project regardless
of wind conditions or construction project status.
ü Daily recordkeeping of dust control actions is required to be compiled and retained during
project duration and for three years after project completion.
ü Grading plans must include a statement that incorporates the approved fugitive dust control plan
into the approved grading plan.

operation of such equipment cannot reduce
fugitive dust emissions or if visibility is
limited to such an extent that it is hazardous
to continue operating such equipment.
ü Documentation of weather (e.g.,
wind) conditions can facilitate
compliance determinations when
using an affirmable defense to dust

Control Plan requirements
SUMMARY OF DUST CONT ROL ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
The Coachella Valley dust control ordinances require:
ü at least one of the Coachella Valley Best Available Control Measures (CV BACM) is required to be
implemented for each fugitive dust source category.
ü CV BACM must be implemented such that the applicable performance standards (e.g., visible
emissions not to exceed 100 feet or 20 percent opacity, or cross any property line, etc.) are met.
A description of the performance standards and applicable test methods is included in Chapter 8 of the
Coachella Valle y Fugitive Dust Control Handbook.
I hereby certify that I have read and understand the foregoing requirements.
