Dust suppressants are applied once annually to rural roads to assist in controlling dust. Dust suppressants do not create a driving surface. Effectiveness of dust suppressants are maximized when moisture is present for the calcium chloride to bond with, and to create a seal on the surface of the gravel road. When moisture is not present, due to prolonged dry periods, the effectiveness of the dust suppressants can be reduced.

Suppliers of dust suppressants generally do not recommend reapplication during dry periods. Without the presence of appropriate moisture, the products are found not to perform as desired, and therefore, do not represent value for the expenditure. The Municipality regularly reviews application rates. Adjustments have been made based on factors such as traffic volume, road base and past performance.

If you’re looking to build a new driveway or modify an existing one, the Municipality of Brockton regulates the construction and maintenance of driveways and entrances.

Please review By-law 2002-23 to learn more about how entrances, driveways and culverts must be constructed in Brockton.
