We often respond to reports of offensive or nuisance dust from community members who live and work around dust sources.
We know that dust can create a real nuisance for those who live and work around dust sources. Under the Resource Management Act (RMA) and the Canterbury Air Regional Plan, it’s our responsibility as a regulator to manage discharges to air in our region. This includes dust.
While dust events can sometimes be difficult to track and verify, we make all efforts to hold emitters to account and proactively work with industries of concern.
