Fugitive Dust Mitigation Amendments

Added specific exclusions for metalliferous minerals, mineral salts, gem stones, coal, and frac sand to the definition of 'aggregate' to clarify which materials are subject to the compliance fee.

Added a new section defining terms related to water reuse, including 'reuse authorization contract' and 'water reuse project' to support the new wastewater reuse provisions.

Changed the effective date for the aggregate compliance fee rulemaking from July 1, 2027, to July 1, 2028, and authorized the Air Quality Board to set fee amounts by rule rather than having them fixed in the statute.

Added a requirement for the Division of Air Quality to approve or reject fugitive dust control plans within 10 days of receipt.

Updated the wastewater reuse provision to require that use must not result in a discharge to state waters or pose a threat to human health or the environment.

Modified the definition of 'water reuse project' to explicitly include water reused by industrial facilities for fugitive dust control, whereas it was previously excluded.

The start date for the new annual aggregate compliance fee was moved from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027, giving facilities an additional year of preparation.

The Senate sponsor was updated from 'LONG TITLE' to 'Derrin R. Owens', correcting the bill's official record.

Added a specific requirement for fugitive dust facilities to post informational signage at entryways that is clearly visible to the public.

Authorized the use of on-site wastewater for dust control, provided it does not discharge pollutants or threaten health and is approved via a water right.

Refined the definition of 'fugitive dust facility' to explicitly include excavation sites and topsoil handling sites, ensuring broader coverage.

Introduced specific enforcement measures allowing the division to require corrective action reports and increase inspection frequency to up to three times per week for non-compliant facilities.

Adjusted the formatting of the bill text to align with standard legislative markup conventions for the second substitute version.
