Dust Management Plan
Services
In South Africa, Dust Management Plans are required when a facility exceeds the dustfall standards as laid out by the National Dust Control Regulations, 2013 (NDCR). The regulations define a Dust Management Plan as "a plan detailing measures for the prevention or mitigation of dust emissions".
A Dust Management Plan should (according to section 6.2 of the NDCR) include the following information:
- Identify all possible sources of dust within the affected site;
- Detail the best practicable measures to be undertaken to mitigate dust emissions;
- Detail an implementation schedule;
- Identify the line management responsible for implementation
- Incorporate the dust fallout monitoring plan; and
- Establish a register for recording all complaints received by the person regarding dustfall, and for recording follow up actions and responses to the complainants.
The National Dust Control Regulations, 2023 have been published for public comment in the Government Gazette.
