Dust Control

Dust Control 2023

2023 Dust Control Applications are now available.

Dust control is offered by Wheatland County for landowners or residents within the County who wish to reduce the amount of dust created by vehicles traveling on the gravel roads near their homes, businesses, or farms.

  • Payment must be received with the completed application(s).
  • Dust Control will only proceed if there is sufficient interest.
  • Minimum order 122 meters (400 ft.)
  • Wheatland County applies a double application for all purchased calcium dust control applications.

Calcium Chloride

Calcium chloride is saltwater brine. Once calcium chloride has been applied twice it will typically last the season under normal conditions.

Deadline for Applications

  • First Round: Application deadline is May 19, 2023
    (Weather permitting, application will occur between May 23 to June 2)
  • Second Round: Application deadline is June 9, 2023
    (Weather permitting, application will occur between June 12 to June 23)

Price

  • County roads $5.33/meter plus GST

Oiling

Oil is crude oil mixed with gravel; it is then spread and packed. Oil should last three or more years under normal conditions. Because oil is easier to mix and will last longer if the weather is hot and dry, the county waits until midsummer to apply.

Deadline for Applications

  • Application deadline is July 7, 2023

Price

  • County roads $32.68/meter plus GST (New Application)
  • Gravel Secondary Highways $35.96/meter plus GST (New Application)

Payment

Please complete the application form below and submit it with a completed credit card authorization form.
