Settle down- the City of Grande Prairie has opened up dust suppression applications for properties next to gravel roads.
This spring, residents, and businesses with properties next to gravel roads can apply for dust suppression treatment for sections of at least 100 metres between April 1st and 25th. Officials say dust suppression is a critical part of improving visibility and air quality during the warm months.
“To ensure our crews can schedule treatment for gravel roads in your area, please submit your application before the April 25 deadline,” the city says.
Once your application is approved, crews will apply a calcium chloride treatment on an as-needed basis, throughout the spring and summer to reduce gravel dust.
The city says while “every effort” is made to ensure the treatment is effective, its performance depends on several factors like weather conditions; however, refunds are not available once a treatment has been applied.
The application fee is $440 for residential properties and $660 for commercial properties, per 100 metres.
