Grading and land-clearing in Mohave County must control erosion and blowing dust. Sites of one acre or more also fall under ADEQ's construction stormwater permit and its SWPPP requirements.
Clearing desert soil exposes fine material that erodes in flash floods and blows as PM10 dust in the dry, windy Mojave. Mohave County grading permits require erosion and sediment controls such as silt fence, straw wattles, and stabilized construction entrances, plus stabilization of disturbed ground once work ends. Sites disturbing one acre or more must follow the ADEQ AZPDES construction general permit and keep a stormwater pollution prevention plan with regular inspections. Arizona has no dedicated Mohave County air district like metro Phoenix; the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality oversees dust and air quality statewide.
Missing controls or sediment washing off-site brings correction notices, stop-work orders, and ADEQ penalties. Uncontrolled dust can draw separate air-quality enforcement.
