binders are used;
e. All of these fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be shown
on grading and building plans; and
f. The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons
to monitor the fugitive dust emissions and enhance the
implementation of the measures as necessary to minimize dust
complaints, reduce visible emissions below 20% opacity, and to
prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include
holidays and weekend periods when work may not be in
progress.
Mitigation Measure 3.b.2: The project shall be conditioned to comply
with all applicable APCD regulations pertaining to Naturally
Occurring Asbestos (NOA). Prior to any grading activities a geologic
evaluation should be conducted to determine if NOA is present
within the area that will be disturbed. If NOA is not present, and
exemptions request must be filed with the District. If NOA is found at
the site, the applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in
the Asbestos ATCM. This may include development of an Asbestos
Dust Mitigation Plan and an Asbestos Health and Safety program for

Mitigation Measure 4. d.1: Vegetation removal and initial site
disturbance shall be conducted between September 1 and January
31 outside of the nesting season for birds. If vegetation and/or tree
removal is planned for the bird nesting season, then preconstruction
nesting bird survey, prepared by a qualified biologist, shall be
required to determine if any active nests would be impacted by
project construction. If no active nests are found, then no further
mitigation shall be required. If any active nests are found that would
be impacted by construction, then the nest sites shall be avoided
with the establishment of a non-disturbance buffer zone around
active nests as determined by a qualified biologist. Nest sites shall
be avoided and protected with the non-disturbance buffer zone until
the adults and young of the year are no longer reliant on the nest
site for survival as determined by a qualified biologist. As such,
avoiding disturbance or taking of an active nest would reduce
potential impacts on nesting birds to a less-than-significant level.

Mitigation Measure 4.e.3: The following measure shall be
incorporated on-site during the construction process of the proposed
project:
1. A minimum height construction protective barrier
shall be erected around the drip line of the tree
plus 4’. The fence shall be supported with “T”
posts at no more than 6’ o.c. and tied at least 3
places per post. This fence shall be installed by
the General Contractor before any rough grading
is allowed on the site. Approval for this stage must
be obtained in writing from either the Arborist or
the Counties/Cities representative.
2. Earthwork shall not exceed the limits of the project
area.
3. Low branches in danger of being torn during
construction process shall be pruned prior to any
heavy equipment work being undertaken.
4. Once the rough grading is accomplished the fence
may be moved closer to the trunk of the tree for
finish grading. At no time shall the fence be placed
within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ). This location
is determined by the diameter of the trunk at
Diameter Breast Height (DBH). (4.5’ above grade)
and is 1’ per 1” diameter in the direction of the drip
line. At no time shall the fence be moved closer to
the trunk than the drip line, unless additional
preservation measures are implemented as
recommended by the project arborist.
5. Any roots that are encountered over 2” diameter,
during the excavation process shall be clean cut
perpendicular to the direction of root growth with a
handsaw. At no time shall tree seal be applied to
any cut. Any roots over 2” diameter the county/city
representative shall be notified to determine the
preferred course of action.
6. All trenching with CRZ area shall require hand
trenching to preserve and protect roots over 2” in

8. Any roots over 4” in diameter are not to be cut or
ripped until inspected and approved in writing by
the arborist.
9. If, for whatever reason, work must be
accomplished inside the drip line 4”-6” of mulch
must be applied first to decrease the possibilities
of compaction upon written approval from the
arborist.
10. There shall be a pre-construction meeting
between the Engineering/Planning staff of the
County/City, Grading equipment operators, Project
Superintendent and the Arborist to review the
project conditions and requirements prior to any
grubbing or earth work for any portions of the
project site. All tree protection fencing shall be
installed for inspection prior to this meeting.
