Dust Abatement
Charles Lorenson informed the Board that he had numerous phone calls from residents on
the road dust. The State has put Calcium Chloride on Island Lake road and may be using
it on other roads they maintain. Charles Lorenson talked to John Sullivan, Public Works

their roads and has had success with it. Jim Graham from A -K Construction asked if the
Board considered recycled asphalt as another alternative.

Department. Eric Kocurek will bring more information on the recycled asphalt and
