County warns contractors about Oct. 31 dust-control deadline after material delays

Staff told the board that two contractors (Vincent and Stevens) reported delays obtaining dust-control materials and now expect supplies in late September or early October. The agency official reminded contractors of an October 31 deadline in the county dust-control permit and said the county will document contacts and notify applicants of the timeline.

"I will remind you that our dust control permit says that we have the right to go through it in late October," the agency official said when describing enforcement rights. He said staff will keep a paper trail and will proceed with permit remedies if contractors fail to meet the deadline.
