All requests for Dust Control suppressants that do not meet the principals of this policy will be subject to a fee of $1,000.00 plus GST & PST for 150 meters of dust suppressant. The cost of $334.00 plus GST & PST for every 50-meter addition.

The RM of Sherwood Dust Control program is regulated by the Dust Control Policy. Additional application of dust control products is available to residents on a user pay basis.
Dust control is meant to control dust on the roadways, not to eliminate it completely. When dust control products are applied, the substance will adhere to the gravel surface. These products retain moisture (from rain, humidity), which weighs down the dust particles, making them less likely to become airborne after a vehicle has passed over the area.
Residents may apply for additional dust control. The cost of the dust control to residents varies slightly from year to year depending on the cost of the product from the distributor and the cost of application.
