(A) All red dirt mine facilities within the city limits shall be allowed to operate with the following safeguards, and measures, to ensure that dust, dirt, mud, debris, loose rock, and gravel, and all other possible irritant or nuisance substances, do not adversely affect the city’s residents.
(B) It is the express continuing duty of the licensed red dirt mine facility operators to ensure all of these safeguards, requirements, and measures are constantly enforced.
(1) Dust control measures. Water, or other substances or measures, must be employed, and fully effective, during the operation of the red dirt mine to ensure the mine is in full, and continual, compliance with the requirements of the State Water and Air Pollution Control Act, being A.C. § 8-4-101, as administered by the State Department of Environmental Quality. A violation of the permit conditions required by the State Department of Environmental Quality can be grounds for a suspension, or revocation, of the city’s red dirt mine operating license.
(2) Loose rock and gravel. The red dirt mine operator is responsible to post notice that all dump trucks leaving the red dirt mine site that may utilize any city streets, and are carrying more than half a truck load of gravel, rocks, or dirt, have their load fully, and properly, covered. Any dump truck leaving a red dirt mine carrying more than a half a truck load of gravel, rock, or dirt, without having this load properly covered, shall be in violation of this chapter.
