Residential Dust Control

When you spread LIQUIDOW™ Liquid Calcium Chloride on unpaved roads, a lot of problems clear up.

*LIQUIDDOW™ – Trademark of Occidental Chemical Corporation.

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.

Mahaska County requires a permit for dust control applications. Binns & Stevens will submit that permit for you along with the $25 permit fee.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 12th, 2024.
This allows the county time to process the permit applications and prepare the roads for dust control. If you miss the deadline, you will not be able to get dust control until June 3rd. The second application will not be applied until July 22nd, weather permitting. 

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