Dust Management Plan (DMP)

WALES

For proposed developments, particularly waste developments, the types and amounts of dust generated can be varied and difficult to precedent. Dust propagation through air is influenced by many factors including particle size, wind energy and disturbance activated. How nuisance dust is managed and monitored can be critical to the smooth running of an operation.

A Dust Management Plan (DMP) provides a comprehensive assessment of potential dust sources and the factors influencing dust dispersion. It outlines site-specific monitoring measures and effective mitigation strategies, such as dust suppression systems and operational controls, to minimize emissions. Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and Local Planning Authority (LPA) requirements, a well-prepared DMP helps developers and operators to manage dust-related risks effectively.
