Fugitive Dust from Dust-Generating Operations (Rule 310) In addition, a dust control permit is required by Rule 310 for many types of sites, such as: Activities that will disturb a surface area equal to or greater than . 10 acre (4,356 square feet)
Dust control permits are required for sites that disturb at least 0.10 (one-tenth) of an acre, including haul/access roads, staging, and storage areas. Permits are site-specific and are valid for one year. Our Dust Sources, Control and Training page offers more information about dust control permits.
Dust control practices reduce the potential for construction activities to generate dust from disturbed soil surfaces. Construction sites can have large areas of soil disturbance and open space from which wind can pick up dust particles. Airborne particles pose a dual threat to the environment and human health.
