emissions beyond the property boundary. If substantive complaints are received or excessive
fugitive dust emissions from the facility are observed beyond the property boundaries for six
minutes in any one hour(using Reference Method 22 in 40 CFR,Appendix A), the owner or
operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as described in 2D .0540(f).
"Fugitive dust emissions" means particulate matter that does not pass through a process
