Dust Control
- Phone: 785-832-5293
- Website: www.dgcoks.gov/public-works/dust-control-program
This program is made available to all residents in Douglas County living adjacent to public roadways. If the township maintains the road, cooperation with the Township Board is needed to prepare the road before the dust control application and protect it from blading as long as possible after treatment. The program consists of applying liquid calcium chloride or magnesium chloride to rock roads, typically in front of houses, to reduce dust created by vehicles.
