§ 34-741. Spills from vehicles.

(a)

Grading contractors. A vehicle used by a contractor carrying or grading and hauling dirt in unincorporated Fulton County or any area within the jurisdiction of the governing authority shall be equipped with a cover that prevents dirt from spilling and/or blowing out of the vehicle carrying such dirt. When the contractor shall have finished grading, the contractor shall then clean all dirt off the streets as may have been dropped by the contractor's vehicles. If the work of a contractor has rendered the streets muddy or dusty, all those streets shall be left in as good condition as they were at the time of commencement of the work by the contractor. The cleaning described in this subsection is to be done to the satisfaction of the director of public works or that official's designee.

(b)

Concrete, gravel, sand or asphalt haulers. Any person engaged in hauling ready-mixed concrete, gravel, sand or asphalt within the jurisdiction of the governing authority of Fulton County shall so fill any vehicle carrying such ready-mixed concrete, gravel, sand or asphalt so as to not allow spillage from the vehicle on streets or sidewalks within unincorporated Fulton County and/or areas within the jurisdiction of the governing authority. Vehicles hauling sand or gravel shall be provided with suitable covers to prevent materials from blowing from the vehicles. Any person responsible for any spillage from hauling vehicles shall take immediate action to remove the spillage from the streets or sidewalks.
