Dust control program in its fifth year
Hungry Horse News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 12 years AGO
Property owners on county-maintained gravel roads can begin signing up for this year’s cost-share dust-control program. The county has sent letters out to people who have participated in the program in past years. Deadline to apply is March 15.
To qualify, property owners must agree to split the cost 50/50 with the county for applying magnesium chloride on at least half a mile of roadway. The work will be done in June.
This is the fifth year of the program. Last year, the county applied magnesium chloride on about 43 miles of roadway. For more information, call the county road department at 758-5790 or visit online at http://flathead.mt.gov/roads_bridges.
