POLICY
FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL ON WELD COUNTY ROADS
It shall be the policy of the Board of Weld County Commissioners
to address fugitive dust on Weld County roads as follows:
1) Fugitive dust control will be performed on Weld County
roads only where the cost of dust control chemicals is
reimbursed to Weld County by the individuals requesting
dust control chemicals or by other separate funding
mechanisms.
2) Weld County has no objection to individuals applying
dust control chemicals providing they agree in writing
to the following conditions:
A) Chemicals that are used for dust control may not
contain any hazardous substances as defined in
Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 29-22-101 .
Individuals are advised that petroleum products,
whether commercially processed or not, may contain
hazardous substances.
B) Petroleum products that contain naphtha or other
combustible material may not be used.
C) Dust control chemicals must be applied in such a
manner that will not contaminate any waters of the
state. Therefore, material that may wash from the
roadbed will not be suitable.
D) Weld County will make every effort not to disturb
the section of road that has been treated with dust
control chemicals. However, it will be the
County' s decision at what point the area must be
graded. Weld County will not be responsible for
reapplying dust control chemicals.
E) Individuals that choose to apply dust control
chemicals will be responsible for knowing the
content and reporting that information in writing
to the Weld County Engineering Department.
Individuals will also be responsible for the
application of the chemicals and any damage that
may occur from the use of the chemicals.
F) Individuals must agree to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Weld County and its officers and
employees from any claims arising from the
Page 1 of 2 pages 880117
application of dust control chemicals by the
individuals.
3) Weld County will provide the preparation of the roadbed
prior to the application of dust control chemicals at no
cost to the individual. Preparation may include the
import of gravel material, grading, compaction and
wetting. All or a portion of these methods will be used
depending on the condition of each individual road and
the chemical to be applied.
4) Should the Colorado Department of Health require Weld
County to apply dust control chemicals, Weld County will
apply the chemicals and charge adjacent property owners
for the cost of chemicals only. If Weld County is not
reimbursed by the individual property owners, a
reapplication of chemicals will not be made.
