What is dust control? Dust Control is a process where a liquid solution is applied to an
existing, unpaved, gravel road surface to suppress the dust that becomes airborne from passing
vehicles, wind erosion and other aggregate loss.

blow away, the gravel road breaks down and you watch the fines “escape” in the form of dust.
Traffic, rain and wind then scatter the coarser aggregate; causing potholes, ruts, washboards,
loss of profile and ditch lines, and other problems. Wetting the road surface can hel
