Program Information

Residents, businesses, and industries in the County can apply for dust control treatment on County-maintained roads adjacent to their properties. Applications are accepted annually, with work starting mid June, with the goal of being done before July 1, weather dependent, road conditions, and material availability.

The Dust Abatement method typically provides dust suppression between annual applications; however, due to factors such as weather, traffic, and road composition, the County does not offer a warranty on the performance of dust control treatments. If road conditions become unsafe, the County may conduct repairs as needed, which could include restoring the treated area to a standard gravel surface.
