   (A)   No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit any material to be handled, transported or stored; or a building, its appurtenances or a road to be used, constructed, altered, repaired or demolished without taking reasonable precautions to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne.
   (B)   Such reasonable precautions shall include, when appropriate as determined by the control officer, but not be limited to the following:
      (1)   Use of water or chemicals for control of dust in the demolition of existing buildings or structures, construction operations, the grading of roads or the clearing of land;
