What does the fugitive dust regulation say?
Title 129, Chapter 32, Section 001 requires sources to handle, transport, and store material in such a way to prevent particulate matter (commonly referred to as dust) from visibly crossing property boundaries. Section 002 of Chapter 32 is similar to Section 001, but it applies to construction, use, repair and demolition of buildings, roads, driveways or other open areas. This section provides examples of reasonable measures that may be taken to prevent dust from visibly crossing property boundaries. Section 003 of Chapter 32 provides a limited exemption to this regulation for normal farming practices, on-farm crop drying and handling, and animal feeding activities. Sections 002 and 003 do not require that the listed activities and sources completely prevent dust from leaving their property, as long as reasonable and practical measures to limit the dust are utilized.
