The Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County, through the Public Works Department, is again making available a  "user fee" dust palliative program to interested county residents.  The  program consists of applying liquid calcium chloride or magnesium chloride to rock roads in front of houses in an effort to reduce dust created by vehicles.  The cost of the program is borne by individual residents who sign up to participate in the program.

Information on participation costs, calendar dates and deadlines, and other dust palliative information can be found at the link shown below.  To sign up for the program, please fill out the attached application and submit it to the Public Works Department along with your payment.
