Dear Mayor Cleveland:
I am responding, on behalf of the Weld County Commissioners, to your letter dated June 24,
2008, regarding dust control in the Town of Pierce.
Weld County uses three methods of dust control:
1. Topical application of magnesium chloride. This is the least expensive. Gravel roads
are prepared by grading first then the chemical is applied.
Advantages:
a. cost
b. local private applicators (list attached)
Disadvantages:
a. chemical is not as effective after routine maintenance and requires
reapplication
b. rough roads between applications
2. Full depth application
Advantages:
a. puts chemical into road base
b. rebuilds road
c. lasts longer
Disadvantages:
a. costs
b. requires additional application of topical
c. specialized equipment including road re-claimer
d contractors for full depth

3. Recycled asphalt (RAP) application
Advantages:
a. hard surface road
b. costs— RAP verses asphalt
c. service life of road
d relatively simple process
e maintenance costs
f. contractor availability -
Disadvantage:
a. cost (obtaining RAP material, binding chemical, and contractor costs)
Weld County does not provide dust control for municipalities. A program such as this would put
us in competition with the private sector. I will provide any additional data and staff expertise to
assist you in reaching your decision.
Please feel free to contact me at 970-356-4000, Ext. 3768.
Sincerely,
Pat Persichino

Weld County Commissioners
915 Tenth Street
PO Box 758
Greeley, CO 80632
Weld County Commissioners,
With the hot and dry weather conditions, dust control in the Town of Pierce has become a
problem. Complaints from residents prompted the Town Board to explore available dust
control methods. Although this is a problem within the majority of town, the truck route
includes approximately a quarter mile of unpaved road and receives the highest number
of complaints.
The Town has limited sources of revenue, making our budget limited. I am requesting
assistance from the Weld County Commissioners in determining an effective dust control
method that is minimal in cost and the possibility of joining your dust control program.
Thank you for your assistance.
Mayor Craig Cleveland
Town of Pierce
In response to the letter from the town of Peirce to assist them with dust
control on their town streets, I would recommend offering technical and
procedural support but no physical or financial assistance. Other towns have
inquired about assistance with dust treatment in the past and the answer has
consistently been that we do not have extra resources to allocate for these
purposes, (i.e. Grover and Johnstown).
