Mineral Regulatory Guidelines MG42: Air quality assessment and monitoring
The Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) Air Quality Guideline for tenement holders assessing air quality on mine sites was developed in consultation with the South Australian Environment Protection Authority (EPA), which co-regulates air quality impacts related to the mineral resources industry.
The guideline outlines regulatory expectations for the mining industry to conduct compliant air quality assessments and management practices, ensuring safe levels of air quality to mitigate potential impacts on communities and the environment.
The guideline sets out expectations for industry to perform consistent and compliant air quality assessment and management.
