Dust Suppression Program

Fees to Participate

The 2026 fee to participate in the program is $300 + GST. The fee is based on costs from the product supplier and can vary from year to year.

No guarantee is implied with regards to the effectiveness of the dust suppression, and the County reserves the right to grade the road if surface conditions require it. The County reserves the right to refuse an application if it is deemed that the roadway has sufficient residual dust suppression product from previous years.

Who Is Eligible

Both rural residences and businesses can apply:

• Rural properties/residences must have a permanent dwelling on them, and
• Eligible businesses must be adjacent to the roadway and be regularly occupied by employees and/or customers.

Exception: Residents who live on the corner of a Township and Range Road are eligible for two (2) 200-meter cost shared dust Suppression with 200 meters placed on each of the township and range road.

Any dust abatement length requested in addition to the standard 200-meter length will not qualify for cost shared rates. The full dust abatement rate of $575.00 + GST per 100 meters shall apply to those additional lengths. (A minimum of 100 meters lineal length is required for additional dust abatement).

Application Deadline

The application deadline is midnight April 10th, 2026.

Due to scheduling timelines, all applications and payments must be received in our office prior to the deadline each year to be eligible for this program. Applications received after the deadline will be subject of a $250 penalty and will only be completed if there is administrative capability.
