What regulations does the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) have pertaining to dust?
The regulations pertaining to the control of dust are found in Title 129 – Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, Chapter 32 – Dust; Duty to Prevent Escape. This chapter is sometimes referred to as the ‘fugitive dust regulation.’ Chapter 32 applies to all individuals and businesses in Nebraska. There are additional regulations that apply only to facilities subject to air quality permitting requirements. These regulations require facilities applying for air quality permits to control their dust emissions, which are most commonly referred to as fugitive dust emissions. For instance, when a facility is requesting an air quality construction permit, they must demonstrate that the visible and non-visible fugitive dust emissions that leave their property will not exceed the air quality standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to protect the public health, welfare, and the environment.
