Description
I'd like to register a complaint about the huge clouds of dust coming from the Triton (Waverly) project opposite E Hillsdale Blvd from our neighborhood. With the gusty conditions of the last several days especially, tremendous clouds of dust are blowing directly over to my house, coating my entire property with layers of dirt and exacerbating my wife's allergy sensitivities. And as far as I can tell, there appear to be little or no attempts at mitigating the dust on the part of the earth-moving crews or builders...

Thank you or your attention to this matter.
The clouds of dust seem less visible with the less windy weather, but the windows of our house and our cars (even though they're parked on the Goldhunter Ct side) still get a good coating.
Still no apparent attempts at mitigation by the contractors though either...

Hi Michael.
Our inspector went out yesterday and spoke to the contractor. They were using the wrong size hose to spray water and control dust. They were instructed to use an appropriate amount of water on the loose soil to keep it from becoming airborne and to closely monitor the dust control measures. If the dust continues then other mitigation measures will need to be implemented to maintain dust control. We will be keeping a close eye on this. If the matter continues, please reach out to the inspector for this project Leonard Matchniff at 650-286-3226 or lmatchniff@fostercity.org or reply to this thread. Thank you.

I agree with Micheal, this is becoming a health issue.

Still see clouds of dust arising from this construction site; still experiencing layers of dust on our home, our cars, everywhere; and my wife's allergies still act up, coughing and sneezing immediately upon arriving home... I have NEVER observed ANY attempts at dust mitigation performed by the construction crews -- I have certainly not seen any sprinkler systems in use (or even any wet or moist ground). I walked next to the construction fence just this morning and observed excavators digging holes and moving dirt, and I saw NO evidence of any attempts to control dust -- just clouds of it floating into the air.
Is there ANY attempt to enforce the rules regarding dust mitigation at all? Is there any attempt to even monitor that they are following the rules?

I have noticed damp ground at the site recently, which I assume to be evidence that the builder has been sprinkling to mitigate the dust... Although I'd like to believe it has made a difference and reduced the amount of dust, I can see that there is still a significant layers deposited daily on neighborhood cars. I do appreciate the efforts to monitor and properly administer adherence to our rules governing construction and builder behavior...
I do have issue with regard to allowed construction hours -- I'll post as a separate complaint/issue however...
