These <br />actions aze dependent on the source of the pollution. Below we have listed some examples of <br />courses of action to prevent dust and noise pollution: <br />If there is a complaint about dust pollution: <br />1. Connell might have to water roadways. <br />2. Grade the roadways. A smooth road creates less fire bounce and thus less dust. <br />3. Reduce driving speed of trucks and equipment. <br />4. Increase water fed to processing equipment spray bars or repair spray bars. <br />5. Start new, lower stockpiles. Lower profile stockpiles are not as susceptible to wind <br />erosion as higher profile stockpiles. <br />6. Do not add to higher stockpiles during high winds. <br />7. Install fabric chutes to the ends of conveyor stackers. <br />9. Reduce the length of free fall for material from end of conveyor stacker to the stockpile. <br />10. Reduce the amount of equipment in operation until the wind dies down. <br />If there is a complaint about noise pollution: <br />I . Connell may have a piece of equipment that is not functioning properly, so they will have <br />to shut down this equipment until it is fixed. <br />2. Reduce the number of pieces of equipment in operation. <br />3. Change the time of operation of equipment to a time when less people can hear it. <br />As a general note, Connell could install a wind gage or wind sock to monitor the speed and <br />direction of wind. If the wind speed and dvection reaches a point where area residents might <br />start complaining, Cormell can take action immediately. <br />1 <br />
