APCD Rule 55, Fugitive Dust
Document Type
NOP - Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR

Document Description
Proposed Rule 55 will impact any man-made condition capable of generating fugitive dust. Affected sources include bulk material handling facilities, construction/demolition sites, storage piles, unpaved roads, off-field agricultural operations, and earth-moving operations. The following new standards are proposed to reduce fugitive dust emissions:
1. No visible dust beyond the property line.
2. New 20 percent opacity limit.
3. New track-out limit of 25 feet.
4. No visible dust plume over 10 feet in length during earthmoving activities.
The estimated emission reductions from the implementation of Rule 55 are six tons per day of PM, based on a 30 percent control effectiveness. This 30 percent effectiveness assumes that most of the impacted sources are already in compliance with the proposed rule requirement.
