  Dust Control Permit

The department issues dust control (or earthmoving) permits when earthmoving operations disturb an area greater than one tenth of an acre of land (0.1 acre or 4,356 square feet).

Some examples include blasting, cutting and filling, demolition, drilling, excavating, grading, leveling, trenching, and weed abatement by discing or blading.
