Subpart D Respirable Dust Control Plans<br />

71.301 Respirable Dust Control Plan; Filing Requirements<br />

(a) These provisions provide guidance to District Managers when<br />

considering whether the plan should be approved. They prohibit<br />

approval of any dust control plan with which the operator's<br />

compliance cannot be objectively ascertained by MSHA (example:<br />

roadways will be wetted when the need arises). Each dust control<br />

measure shall be stated specifically, so that if not implemented,<br />

the inspector can take appropriate enforcement action.<br />

(d) This provision is applicable as long as the approved plan is<br />

in effect at such mine.<br />

(e) Full-shift respirable dust samples are to be collected by<br />

MSHA showing compliance with the applicable dust st<strong>and</strong>ard before<br />

dust control plan revisions are approved by the district manager.<br />
