Dust: How to deal with it in your community

Dust complaints are one of the most frequently received complaints EGLE air pollution investigators receive. There are state regulations that deal with particulates or dust, but what should you do if you experience particulates and dust fallout in your community? Are there local ordinances to address the problem?

Panelists for this discussion will include Brad Neumann, from Michigan State University (MSU) Extension, Crystal Gilbert-Rogers from the city of Detroit, and Air Quality Division (AQD) staff. Brad is an Educator with MSU Extension with expertise in land use planning and zoning, community and economic development, and general governance topics and will be discussing how zoning and local ordinances can be developed and enforced in a community. Crystal works for the city of Detroit and will be discussing Detroit’s dust ordinance. AQD staff will discuss the rules for fugitive dust, and how dust complaints are investigated and enforced. Join the panel for a discussion on how dust from various industrial sources are handled on the local and state level and hear about additional resources that may be available for use.
