Apr 13, 2021 | 5:50 PM

Dust suppression and control applications are now open for residents and business owners in the City of Grande Prairie who have properties adjacent to gravel roads.

Annually, the City sprays a combination of calcium chloride treatment throughout the City on an as-needed basis in the spring and summer seasons to reduce the amount of gravel dust.

Residents may apply for a dust suppression and control treatment on a gravel road in sections of at least 100 meters. The application fee is $440 for residents and $660 for commercial, per 100 meters of gravel road.

“Although all efforts are made to ensure the treatment is successful, the effectiveness of the dust control agent is not guaranteed and is subject to variables such as weather,” said city officials in a release.
