Mesa renovations and the county dust rule

Mesa's common areas are big, so the projects are too. We cut them into pieces your budget can digest.

Big Mesa renovations run into a rule many boards haven't heard of. Maricopa County's Rule 310 requires a dust control permit before any dust-generating operation disturbs 0.10 acre or more, which is only 4,356 square feet. One entry redesign or a long run of planter beds can cross that line. The county also counts smaller disturbances under common control together when they touch or are separated only by a road, so splitting a project into small pieces doesn't get around it.

The rule's exemption for landscaping is narrow. It doesn't cover grading or trenching done to redesign existing landscapes, which describes most CapEx work. Water truck drivers need county dust control training no matter the site size, and on sites with more than one acre disturbed, the superintendent or a designated representative needs it too. We build these requirements into the schedule and the proposal, so the dust plan isn't a surprise line item halfway through the project.

Many Mesa properties pair this with concrete demolition in Mesa and irrigation repair in Mesa, so one team handles the whole property.
