1. 1. If the area to be treated is a county road, it will be the property owner’s responsibility to notify the Rice County Highway Department regarding the dust control project.

Please note: Many factors (weather, type of road surface, traffic, etc.) affect the performance of a dust control treatment. Therefore, Bridgewater Township and the contractor do not guarantee how long this treatment will last or how effective it will be. Dust control will not be applied until the township has received, spread, and graded the new crushed rock on township roads. The application of dust control is planned for the first week of June, weather permitting

Minimum requirement of application is 300 feet.  There is not a maximum.

Standard application is approximately 18 feet wide by 400 feet long.

The application can be found on the website under General, F.A.Q., Dust Control.  Or upon request can be emailed to you or one can be picked up at the Town Hall Office.
