The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is offering training to experienced individuals who can become certified to teach basic and comprehensive dust control training classes to third party individuals. Certification will be granted to qualified individuals who attend a “Train the Trainers” class and pass a test based on Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations Rule 200, 310, 310.01, and Appendix C. 

The following Train the Trainer classes have been scheduled.
All classes and certification re-tests will be held at 1001 N. Central Avenue, suite 560.

The classes are four hours in length.  There is no fee to attend these sessions.  Please call 602-372-1467 to reserve a space in one of these classes.

Who Must Attend:
Senate Bill 1552 requires all dust generating operations with a disturbed surface area of five acres or more and subject to a permit for the control of PM10 emissions to have a dust control coordinator on site at all times during primary dust generating operations.  The bill also outlines training requirements for site superintendents or other designated on-site representative(s) of the permit holder at sites with more than one acre of disturbed surface area.  All water truck and water pull drivers for any size site also require the training.
