Control of open fugitive dust sources. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6605793
The purpose of this document is to provide State and local regulatory personnel with sufficient information to develop control plans for open dust sources of PM-10, covering paved roads, unpaved roads, storage piles, construction/demolition activities, open-area wind erosion, and agricultural tilling. Each chapter begins with an overview of the source category describing emission characteristics and mechanisms, followed by available emission factors for analyzing the operative nature of control measures. Demonstrated control techniques are discussed for estimating efficiency and determining costs of implementation. Suggested regulatory formats provide arguments used in implementing the technical discussions in viable regulations and compliance actions. Example regulations for each source category are presented in an appendix.
