Des Moines County

Dust control is not dust elimination.
Calcium Chloride attracts moisture, and this is what makes it an excellent dust control product. LIQUIDOW™ is produced from natural brine deposits found underground, so it is safe for the environment.

Des Moines County requires a permit for dust control applications. Binns & Stevens will submit that permit for you.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 25th, 2024 – Late applications will not get dust control until a later date.

Due to weather, road, and traffic conditions, two applications are recommended. A minimum length of 400 feet is REQUIRED.
