Clinton County Dust Control Permit

This permit allows the applicant or his contractor to treat sectors of Secondary Roads with chemicals to control dust.  It is granted subject to the following:

Two materials are approved for use:  Calcium Chloride and Lignin Sulfonate.  Used Motor Oil is Not an Approved Material.

Contractors must be qualified to do dust control work in Clinton County by approval of the County Engineer.

To assure coordination between county maintenance personnel and the permit applicant, it is required that each applicant fill out and turn in a dust control permit for each site to be treated.

The applicant or contractor must coordinate application of material with the County Engineer's Office at (563) 244-0564 at least two (2) working days prior to application of the material, to allow county maintenance personnel adequate time to prepare the road.  The Engineer's Office will notify the contractor when the surface will be prepared.  Material must be applied within 24 hours of preparation.  This also applies to second applications done later in the summer.  Requests for second applications must be made in writing.

Adequate warning shall be given during applications.  The applicator should mark the dust control site with stakes or flags showing the beginning and ending points.

After the material has been applied, the County will refrain from blading the treated area unless, it has become so rough as to constitute a hazard to the traveling public.

The applicant is responsible for keeping the treated section free from pot-holes.  If not done, the County reserves the right to maintain it so the road does not become a hazard.

This permit is valid until October 1 of the year issued, after which the County reserves the right, regardless of actual conditions to re-blade treated areas in order to prepare the road for winter. 

The permit applicant understands that by signing this permit they assume full responsibility for any and all liability resulting from this treatment of a public highway.

In signing and accepting this permit for dust control, I agree to abide by all of the conditions of the permit as listed above.
