Greeley, CO 80631
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hergenreder:
We appreciate the concerns you expressed in your recent letter regarding the road condition and the
dust problem on Weld County Road (WCR) 60 1/2 between State Highway 37 and WCR 59. A
traffic count taken this year on the above two-mile stretch of road. Only one mile of this road had
a count of approximately 200 cars in a 48-hour period, which indicates that this portion of road
qualifies for some of the criteria for paving.
Every year the Board of Weld County Commissioners considers over 100 miles of roads that are
candidates for paving. Only 15 to 20 miles per year actually get paved. The traffic has increased
tremendously on nearly all roads of Weld County in the past few years. As a result, there are many
miles that deserve consideration for paving. To pave a gravel road requires an entire rebuild and
construction procedure, which is very expensive. Traffic counts, area traffic patterns, drainage
problems, roadside hazards, and other factors must be considered to determine the most cost-
effective asphalt projects that fit within to the County's budget. The paving schedule has already
been planned for the 1996 season; however, this section of road may be reviewed for the 1997
construction season.
Enclosed is a copy of Weld County's Fugitive Dust Control Policy for your information.

Clerk to the Board
SECTION 15.0: FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL POLICY
It shall be the policy of the Board of Weld County Commissioners to address fugitive dust on
Weld County roads as follows:
15.1 PRIVATE APPLICATION
Weld County has no objection to individuals applying dust control chemicals to county
roads at their own expense providing they agree to the following conditions:
15.1.1 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 projects, whether commercially processed
or not, may contain hazardous substances.
15.1.2 Petroleum products that contain naphtha or other combustible material may not be
used.
15.1.3 Dust control chemicals must be applied in such a manner that will not
contaminate any waters of the State. Therefore, any materials that may wash from
the roadbed will not be suitable.
15.1.4 Weld County will make every effort not to disturb the section of road that has
been treated with dust control chemicals.
IT WILL BE THE COUNTY'S
DECISION AT WHAT POINT
THE ROADWAY MUST BE
GRADED TO RESTORE A
REASONABLE TRAVEL
SURFACE. WELD COUNTY
WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR REAPPLYING DUST
CONTROL CHEMICALS.
15.1.5 All dust control agents used on county roads shall be approved for use by the
Weld County Health Department and the Department of Public Works. Currently,
the materials listed in Appendix "D" are approved for use.
The County reserves the right to add or delete materials from the approved
list at any time without prior notice. The application of any substance to a
county road for purposes of dust control, not specifically identified in the
approved list of materials, shall be approved for use in writing from the
Weld County Health Department and Public Works Department prior to
its application.
15.2 GRADING
Weld County will grade the roadbed prior to the application of dust control chemicals at
no cost to the individual.
APPENDIX "D"
