LARGE PARAGRAPH This program allows residents to apply for dust control on rural roads adjacent to private residences.

PARAGRAPH

Dust control involves the application of a calcium chloride agent to gravel roads that cause particles to stick together into larger chunks that won't spread via wind or vehicle.

Program Basics

the MD allows residents to apply for dust control on rural roads in front of their residences for a standard rate of $350.00 per 100 meters of roadway, and $3.50 per additional meter. The program typically begins in May and is completed by end of June — weather and road conditions permitting.

Dust control agents are normally applied after the lifting of spring road bans, and as equipment and materials become available. Applications are available at the MD office in Slave Lake, sub-office in Flatbush, and downloadable under Dust Control Resources below.
