Dust control on gravel roads
Dust control on gravel roads
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with an environmentally friendly, economical dust control solution for gravel roads? I have a problem with dust during dry weather at the entrance to our plant. Currently, the crushed limestone road holds up well -- no rutting or potholes. However, the dust from trucks is becoming a real nuisance. Money for paving is not available.

The manual includes section on environmental concerns and "other" factors for consideration. I found it very usefull in determining a dust supressant for our company landing strip.

Lignin products are highly soluble and will leach during heavy precipitation. Runoff into the surface or groundwater system may create low disolved oxygen conditions resulting in fish kills or increase concentrations of iron, sulfur compounds, and other pollutants. I have also used AC grindings for dust control. Keep in mind that this material still contains petroleum products.

I have found a material which you might be interested in. This product is evironmentally freindly, requires an abundance of fines in the aggregate and is incredibly easy to apply. I am working on a variation of this product for oilfield and heavier traffic rural roads here and will be utilizing as a stabilizer and surface application (2" to 3" thick) and dust suppressant secondly. I should have some costs and construction methodology soon.
