PUBLIC NOTICE | Proposal to Renew the Dust Action General Permit
ADEQ has reached a preliminary determination and is proposing to renew the Dust Action General Permit. This permit contains requirements from Arizona Revised Statute 49-457.
Information
The Dust Action General Permit is a renewal of the current permit that will expire Dec. 31, 2016. The Dust Action General Permit identifies a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for specific dust-generating operations. When ADEQ’s Maricopa County Dust Control Forecast predicts that a day is at high risk for dust generation, operations that are not already required to control dust through a permit issued by ADEQ or the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) are expected to choose and implement at least one BMP to reduce or prevent PM10 emissions.
