Smaller areas of the surface are being exposed as one method to control dust. Find additional sources of water. Erosion is not controlled on slopes that are being actively used. Present use of grading to remove gullies does not correct the problem. Exposed areas are constantly being graded instead of using erosion control practices.
Cost is a factor in use of control methods.
Use alternate technology such as those recommended by the County Grading Division, e.g., geo-textile or jute type netting, or other methods that would be required of private enterprise, and are more effective than merely grading. A silt and sedimentation pond is needed down gradient to trap silt before it reaches the ocean. A gas collection system, in addition to the monitoring probes, is required by the federal EPA and state Air Resources Board. The system must be operating by December of 1998. Install a gas collection system within the required time frame.
