Dust Control

2023 Dust Control Pilot Program

The RM of Corman Park is running a pilot program for calcium chloride dust control for the 2023 season.

The pilot program provides another option for obtaining dust control adjacent to your property at a discounted rate. Dust control may be purchased in 100-meter increments. There will be 2 set application times throughout the summer. A dust control application form (online) will need to be filled out and submitted by the form submission deadline. The RM will then arrange the dust control application for a discounted rate and invoice the ratepayer after the dust control is applied.

Distance Requested in 100m increments and approximate cost associated with each length plus applicable taxes for each application. (distance over 600m can be entered as Other on the application form, the amount will auto-calculate)

100m  ($526.29)     200m  ($1,052.58)      300m ($1,578.87)      400m ($2,105.15)      500m ($2,631.44)      600m ($3,157.73)



Dust control requests outside of the pilot program will need to be arranged through a contractor and the RM needs to be contacted 72 hours before the application date.

Haul Roads

Upon request by a resident the RM will arrange for dust control application on roads with current Road Maintenance Agreements in place. These costs are reimbursed to the RM by the hauler. Dust control is applied for 150 metres on either side of the resident's approach centreline.

Other Roads

The RM does not cover the cost of dust control applications. Residents interested in covering the cost of dust control must contact the RM prior to the application date (a minimum of  72 hrs notice is required) and a grader will be dispatched to prepare the road surface for the application. Public Works will also refrain from grading that section of road immediately after the application.
