Dust Suppression Program

ServicesInfrastructureDust Suppression Program

Dust Suppression Program

Dust suppression is a method of stabilizing the light materials on the surface of a gravel road.  Once applied, the dust that would normally be generated from passing vehicles is minimized.

Thorhild County residents who live beside county gravel roads are eligible for new and/or maintenance applications of either oil or calcium dust suppression product.  Following the completion of the Application for Dust Suppression form and a prepayment of the calculated fee, Thorhild County will apply dust suppression product to the identified road surface.  Please note that the scheduling of this work will be subject to the County's regular dust suppression program priorities and will be combined with other requests in the same geographical area as much as possible to maximize cost effectiveness.

How do I apply for the Dust Suppression Program? 

County residents may apply for the Dust Suppression Program by calling the Public Works Office at 780-398-3977 and register to have a request form emailed.

You may also pick this up at the Public Works Office at 21414 Twp Rd 600A or complete the attached application form and return it to Public Works.

Forms can be returned to the Public Works Office in-person or via email to jesse.mackin@thorhildcounty.com .

Payments can be made by mail, credit card, drop box at the County Administration Building. Please call 780-398-3741 to notify of drop box usage.

The application period is April 14 - May 31 of the current year. A late fee of $100 per application after May 31 of the current application year will be applied.
