Description:
This report summarizes the results of field testing of the effectiveness of control
measures for sources of fugitive particulate emissions found at construction sites.
Tests of the effectiveness of watering of temporary unpaved travel surfaces on PM-10
emissions were performed in Beloit, Kansas during September 1999. The tested
operation was scraper transit. Tests of the effectiveness of paved and graveled access
aprons on mud/dirt trackout from unpaved truck exit routes were performed in
Grandview, Missouri during November 1999. In the latter tests, moisture content and
soil type were varied to determine whether watering of exit routes, while reducing onsite
emissions, might have an offsetting effect of increasing emissions attributable to
mud/dirt trackout controls in place.
