Question: Do I need a Surface Area Disturbance (SAD) permit outside of Washoe and Clark County? Answer: If you are disturbing 5 or more acres in Nevada outside of Washoe and Clark County, you will need to apply for a Nevada Division of Environmental Protection SAD permit prior to beginning the project. If you are disturbing less than 5 acres, you may not need a permit, but you still are required to minimize fugitive dust using best management practices.

News for Environmental Safety! We are thrilled to share some significant developments in the fight against environmental health hazards: 1. EPA's Asbestos Ban: The Biden-Harris Administration has finalized a groundbreaking ban on the ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos. This critical step forward will drastically reduce the health risks associated with asbestos exposure and support the Cancer Moonshot initiative. Research on Asbestos and Autoimmune Conditions: New studies have uncovered a link between asbestos exposure and autoimmune diseases, highlighting the need for rigorous asbestos management. 2. HUD's $90 Million Initiative: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated nearly $90 million to address asbestos, lead-based paints, mold, and other health hazards in low-income housing. This funding is set to transform public housing safety across the nation. 3. Military Housing Safety Report: A recent report by the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General has identified significant safety hazards, including asbestos and lead, in military housing. Recommendations for corrective actions are underway to protect service members and their families. At Global Environmental Training and Consulting Inc., we are committed to providing comprehensive solutions for identifying and mitigating these hazards. Together, we can create safer and healthier environments for all. #EnvironmentalSafety #AsbestosBan #LeadSafety #MoldPrevention #HealthyHomes #PublicHealth #HUD #EPA #Research #MilitaryHousing
