Submit a dust control plan

Prevent and manage dust from your construction project to protect environmental health.

該怎麼做

Dust from construction sites pose a potential health hazard to the community.

You need a site-specific Dust Control Plan for your construction project if:

  • It is larger than 1/2 acre
  • There are sensitive receptors within 1,000 feet of the project

We need to approve your site-specific Dust Control Plan before you can start construction. If your project does not meet these criteria, you do not need to comply with Health Code Article 22B. However, you must follow the general dust control requirements under the building code.

1. Fill out an application

You do not need to submit an additional application if you already have a Site Mitigation Environmental Health Database (SMED) number for your project.

2. Submit your application

Email the application and any supporting documents to DPH-SiteMitGeneral@sfdph.org.

If your supporting documents are too large, please include a file sharing link. You can also ask in your email for us to send you a file sharing link.

3. Pay the application fee

By mail

Submit a check made out to "San Francisco Department of Public Health". Include your project name and address on the check. Address the letter to:

Department of Public Health

Environmental Health Branch
Site Assessment and Mitigation Program
49 South Van Ness Avenue
Suite 600
San Francisco, CA 94103

In person

Pay the application fee with a credit card or check at the Counter #83 Cashier Clerk on the second floor of the San Francisco Permit Center:

Once we process your application and payment, we will give you a Site Mitigation Environmental Health Database (SMED) case number. Your caseworker will reach out to you to request a site-specific Dust Control Plan. If your project is also required to comply with the Maher ordinance, your caseworker will coordinate compliance at the same time. Your case worker will make sure your project compliance with the Health Code Article 22B by:

  • Guiding you through the compliance process
  • Performing technical review of submitted documents
  • Issue comments or approval letters

You must complete this process before demolition or potential dust generating activity.

4. Submit a site-specific Dust Control Plan

To comply, you need to submit a site-specific Dust Control Plan. This plan must include:

  • A map showing sensitive receptors within 1,000 feet of your site
  • All provisions of Section 106.3.2.6.3 of the Building Code
  • Enhanced site-specific dust monitoring and control measures

Learn more about this requirement by reviewing the Health Code Article 22B.
