What is fugitive dust?
Fugitive dust is that which is not from a point source, such as a stack or vent pipe. Fugitive dust is typically a result of construction site work, or material handling where outdoor storage piles are used.

Best Available Control Methods
Air Pollution Regulations require that dust control measures be used to control dust from any activity which may cause fugitive dust emissions. Depending on the jurisdiction, these recommended practices are also be referred to as "Best Practical Methods".

Storm Water Control Required When 1 Acre Or More Is Disturbed
Whenever site work involves 1 acre or greater, a storm water permit is also required. Details on how to obtain this permit and storm water control measures can be found at NDEP and information on control measures can be found at the official EPA site.
