A statewide dust regulation is currently under consideration by the New Mexico Environment Department. Please give us your opinions. You can download a copy of the Dust Survey from the links below. Input from concerned citizens is encouraged. Please take the time to complete a survey about windblown dust and a potential statewide dust regulation.
The New Mexico Environment Department will continue to contact stakeholders to solicit input about regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to dust control.
