No person shall allow, cause or permit any materials to be handled, transported or stored or a building, its appurtenances or a construction haul road to be used, constructed, altered, repaired or demolished with the exception of farming operations or dust generated by ordinary travel on unpaved public roads without taking reasonable precautions to minimize atmospheric pollution. All persons shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the discharge of visible emissions of fugitive dusts beyond the lot line of the property on which the emissions originate. Reasonable precautions may include, but are not limited to, the following procedures:
(A) Use, where practical, of water or chemicals for control of dusts in the demolition of existing buildings or structures, construction operations, the grading of roads or the clearing of land;
(B) Application of suitable materials such as, but not limited to, asphalt, oil, water or chemicals on unpaved roads, material stockpiles, race tracks and other surfaces which can give rise to airborne dusts;
(C) Installation and use of containment or control equipment to enclose or otherwise limit the emissions resulting from the handling and transfer of dusty materials such as, but not limited to, grain, fertilizer or limestone;
(D) Covering, at all times when in motion, open-bodied vehicles transporting material likely to give rise to airborne dusts; and
(E) Prompt removal of earth or other material from paved streets onto which earth or other material has been transported by trucking or earth-moving equipment, erosion by water or other means.
