What is an example of an erosion prevention BMP that specifically addresses dust control?

The correct answer is polyacrylamide (PAM), which is a best management practice (BMP) specifically designed to control dust and address soil erosion. PAM is a synthetic polymer that, when applied to soil, helps to bind soil particles together, thereby reducing dust emissions and surface erosion. This effectiveness in dust control is especially significant in areas where soil surfaces are disturbed, creating conditions conducive to dust generation.

Other options, while effective for different erosion control applications, do not focus on dust control in the same way. Riprap is typically used for stabilizing channels and preventing erosion along streambanks or shorelines but does not directly address airborne dust. Outlet protection is intended to manage water flow and turbulence at discharge points but does not reduce dust. Final stabilization involves establishing vegetation or other measures to ensure long-term soil stability and erosion prevention, but again, it is not specifically aimed at controlling dust emissions.
