B. Fugitive Dust:
1. Fugitive Dust refers to particles lifted into the air caused by man-made and natural activities such as the movement of soil, vehicles, equipment, blasting, and wind. Fugitive dust is emitted into the air by activities that disturb the soil, such as earthmoving and vehicular or equipment traffic on unpaved surfaces.
2. Any person engaged in activities involving the dismantling or demolition of buildings, grubbing, grading, clearing of land, public or private construction, the operation of machines and equipment, the grading of roads, trenching operations, the operation and use of unpaved parking facility, operation of livestock arenas, horse arenas, feedlots, off-road vehicles, operation and use of raceways, motor vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs/UTVs and or all other outdoor recreational activities shall take all reasonable precautions to abate fugitive dust from becoming airborne from such activities. Reasonable precautions including but not limited to sprinkling, compacting, enclosure, chemical, or asphalt sealing, cleaning, sweeping, or such other measures as the Town of Fairfield may specify to accomplish satisfactory results.
3. Circumstances of Fugitive Dust. The following circumstances represent examples of “Fugitive Dust” becoming airborne:
a. A visible plume of dust, resulting from construction activities, which extends more than one hundred (100) yards from the point of origin or beyond the nearest property line, whichever is less;
b. Visible dust emissions on an unpaved road at a construction site being used by haul trucks;
c. Visible dust emissions generated by vehicles traveling over mud and dirt carried out to a paved road near or adjacent to a construction site;
d. No person shall cause or permit the handling, transporting, or storage of any material in a manner which allows or may allow controllable particulate matter to become airborne; or
e. Sand Blasting. Sand and abrasive blasting operations will not be permitted unless effective enclosures or other such dust control devices, including but not limited to the injection of water, have been installed to prevent excessive sand and dust dispersal.
C. Weeds. Any plant the Utah Commissioner of Agriculture determines to be especially injurious to public health, crops, livestock, land, or other property is considered a weed. It shall be unlawful for any person occupying any real property in Fairfield to fail to control the growth of injurious and noxious weeds on such property or to fail to remove from such property any such weeds or any refuse and any unsightly or detrimental objects or structures upon notice from Fairfield Town as provided in this chapter.
D. Befouling Water. Befouling water in any spring, stream, well, or water source supplying water for culinary purposes is prohibited.

Discharging or placing any offensive water, chemical spray, liquid waste, or refuse of any kind into any street, alley, sidewalk, gutter, stream, wash, natural watercourse, ditch, canal, or any vacant lot or which, as the result of the continued discharge, will render the place of discharge offensive or likely to become so. Intentional depositing of liquid petroleum crude oil, liquid petroleum crude oil by-products, and derivatives, or liquid industrial wastes on the ground. Keeping or collecting any stale or putrid grease or other offensive matter. Dumping or disposing of human waste.
F. Stagnant Water. Offensive Substances: Permitting any lot or excavation to become the repository of stagnant water or any decaying or offensive substances.
