Dust Control Starting in April 

 Dust Control Season generally begins in April on Gravel Roads. Township Public Works crews are out applying calcium chloride to gravel roads as part of the annual dust control program. The Township applies 200,000 litres of calcium chloride annually at a rate of 1.7L/m — 1.0L/m for dust control and 0.7L/m for stabilization.

Before application, road surfaces are loosened with a grader to help the solution penetrate the base. Even with treatment, some dust is still expected — particularly during extended dry spells. Treated roads will perform much better than untreated ones, and effectiveness improves with moisture.

Public Works staff will continue to monitor conditions throughout the season.
