Dust control (calcium chloride) will not be put down on township roads this summer. This decision was addressed during the Annual Township Meeting in March 2026. The cost for the product has become very expensive. Itasca County also is not applying any dust control on their County gravel roads. The best solution to reduce the amount of dust that is kicked up is to slow down. Studies have shown a 50% decrease in the amount of dust just by slowing down 10 mph. So if you slow down from 40 mph to 20 mph, there is a 75% reduction in dust. Slowing down also greatly reduces the wear & tear on the gravel road and will keep the roads in better shape between road gradings.
