Meteoroids in the main asteroid belt

Space debris in LEO is somewhat of a problem. But I'm wondering about the space debris problem in the asteroid belt.
Let's say we build a mining colony on a main belt asteroid, does anyone know what kind of hazard meteoroids would be?
What would be a typical velocity and at what frequency impacts can be expected?

Why is the misconception that small particles are affected by the
solar wind so common? Small particles are affected by solar
radiation pressure; solar wind pressure is trivial by comparison.
The solar wind affects ions. Compare comet "dust tails" and "ion
tails."
