Accepting Dust Control Applications

The County of St. Paul is accepting applications from residents interested in dust control for the 2026 season! Dust controls cover 200 metres in length and are a blend of calcium chloride and magnesium hydroxide to help suppress the dust that is kicked up on gravel roads during the warmer months.

Residents can apply annually for this service, between January 1 and May 15, with the required payment. The application form is available at the County Admin Office, Public Works shop, or here on our website.

25% of the actual costs for 2026 is $470, given that the residents meets three conditions:

1. The residence is occupied
2. The residence is the primary yard site
3. The residence is within 150 metres of the centre of the road

Completed forms can be brought to the Public Works Office at 5618 57 Street, where staff will confirm the length of the section of road prior to accepting payment by credit card.

Property owners whose residence is over 150 metres from the centre of the road will pay full 2025 cost ($1880). Those who request more than 200 metres in length will pay the full cost for the section over 200 metres.

* Residents whose quality of life is diminished by excessive dust due to a medical condition may request dust control, free of charge. A letter from a physician or medical certificate will be required.
