England David A. Landon W. Dean Wood December 7, 1993 Marilee W. Bills Idaho Division of Environmental Quality 224 South Arthur Ave. Pocatello, Idaho 83204-3202 RE: Letter of Intent - PM]0 Reduction Dear Ms. Bills, The Power-Bannock county Particulate Matter (PM]o) Air Quality Improvement Plan of May 1993 £dentifies wintertime roadway sanding materials as a significant source of PM~o contribution in our community. The City of Chubbuck intends to participate in the reduction of airborne PM]o concentration from paved roads by taking the following actions. Public Awareness The City of Chubbuck will participate with City of Pocatello, Bannock County, Idaho Transportation Department and the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality in public awareness. We will participate in publishing a newspaper article explaining changes made in sanding aggregate application and clean up practices to reduce airborne particulate level in the non- attainment area. The City of Chubbuck will also contribute to other public information media articles as necessary. Establish an anti-skid material qradation specification that reduces the amount of PM10~ The City of Chubbuck will purchase anti-skid aggregate having a fraction passing the number 200 (75 micron) sieve having a maximum of eight (8) percent. Anti-skid aggregate will also meet a hardness and durability standard of a maximum loss of 30% as measured by the Los Angeles Abrasion Test. Decrease the amount of anti-skid material applied. Anti-skid aggregate will be applied only at intersections and on grades. Other locations for which sanding is requested DEQ Letter of Intent page 2 will be investigated and assessed prior to a~·y application. The City of Chubbuck will optimize sanding efforts. Snow plows will be used prio~ to applying sanding material and sanding material wil~ b~ ~pplied early in storm conditions to mitigate slick roads. Our goal is to reduce the amount of anti-skid aggregate by l0 percent from levels used in 1992-93. Use of chemical de-icinq aqents. The City of Chubbuck will obtain necessary equipment by December 15, 1994 to enable the City to apply a liquid solution of calcium chloride salt to anti-skid aggregate. The City will use approximately four percent calcium chloride in the anti-skid aggregate. The City of Chubbuck will also use straight sodium chloride rock salt at major intersections and locations along arterial roads to reduce requirments for anti- skid aggregate. 5 o Implement rapid clean-uD. Anti-skid material applied during the course of storm events will be collected using the City street sweeper. City crews will begin collection of the sanding aggregate as soon as practical after the pavement bares and drys. Clean up of excess material accumulated over the winter will begin within seven days after the pavement bares and drys. Water would be used in the street sweeper to reduce airborne dust if weather permits. Sincerely yours, ~ohn O. Cotant S[even M. Smart Public Works Director Maintenance Superintendent Date Date Date
