Dust permitting signs are required by Clark County Air Quality Management Board. Dust permitting signs information can be found at their website, http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/airquality/Pages/default.aspx.
The Clark County Air Quality Management Board has specific rules and regulations that must be followed, otherwise, fines and work stops can be ordered.
Dust permitting signs sizes vary with the acreage of the construction project. For 10 acres or less, a 4ft x 4ft sign is required with specific lettering and text sizes. For construction projects that are 10 acres or more, a 4ft x 8ft dust permitting sign is required , again with specific text and lettering size.
Traditionally, dust control signs were made with wood and then either had a vinyl plotted letter application applied or a full color print. These signs were heavy and difficult to install because of the weight. With modern technology, a die bond panel ( double sided aluminum panel with a filler) is used for the dust control signs that make it much easier to work with and stronger. While wood signs are subject to weather deterioration, aluminum signs will weather the elements much better. This is important, especially when a long construction project is required and the signs need to be updated with different modification lettering.
Dust permitting signs are not expensive. A 4ft x 4ft dust control sign made with a tough aluminum panel is less than $100 and a 4ft x 8ft dust permitting signs is $175.00. These signs will have the necessary text and lettering size to be in compliance with the regulations set forth by the Clark County Air Quality management Board.
Installing dust permitting signs is easy. Two 4″ x 4″ posts are recommended for the 4ft x 4ft dust control sign and 3 – 4″ x 4″ wood posts are recommended for the 4ft x 8ft dust control sign with cross bracing. The winds sometimes get very bad in Las Vegas so make sure your holes are deep and the sign is very sturdy.
