Mitigation Requirements. A. In order to mitigate air quality impacts on Fallow Lands, only the Best Management Practices ("BMPs") recommended by the US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and listed below will be considered for payment reimbursement. The Dust Control BMP(s) must be selected and approved by IID prior to implementation or July 1, 2013, whichever is earlier. Payment will be based on the Dust Control BMP Reimbursement Schedule issued annually by the IID. 1) Plan ahead to start with plenty of vegetation residue, and maintain as much residue on fallowed fields as possible. Residue is more effective for wind erosion protection if left standing. 2) Avoid any tillage if possible. 3) Avoid any traffic on the field or tillage when fields are extremely dry to avoid pulverization. 4) If residues are not adequate, either small grain can be seeded about the first of the year to take advantage of winter rains or soil stabilization chemicals may be applied to fallowed lands. B. In addition to the above BMPs, in order to satisfy Imperial County dust control and mitigation requirements, Fallowing Party will comply with any lawful conditions required by the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District.
