Air Quality Parking Lot Permits & FeesAir Quality Parking Lot Permit Information
A Parking Lot Permit is also required for the use and maintenance of unpaved gravel and/or storage lots, one acre or more in size. Gravel parking and/or storage lots need to be maintained in such a manner that eliminates or reduces fugitive dust due to traffic or wind erosion. Control measures are also required to prevent trackout from an unpaved area to a paved right-of-way or parking lot. Materials that are tracked onto a paved surface become reentrained into the air through traffic and/or wind erosion. Anyone obtaining a Parking Lot Permit within the Air Quality Control Zone must follow Pennington County Ordinance No. 12 and/or Rapid City Municipal Code Chapters 8.34 through 8.44. The purpose of these ordinances is to provide for a program of fugitive emissions control by applying reasonably available control technology.
