Our community has approximately 3.2 miles of dirt roads which over the
years, maintenance has consisted of purchasing old road milling's and
spreading them over the road and rolling them in with a big roller. Now
there is a movement afoot to have the roads paved, which I'm mostly
against. In my view it will cause more speeding through the community
and will be hot to walk on or along in the summer.

A legitimate complaint I see from those who want it paved, is the
amount of dust generated by traffic on these roads. I'm looking for
alternative solutions that would alleviate the dust problem, but not
involve paving over the roads.

thanks in advance

there's a tree sap product that my city uses on dirt roads to cut dust. it
works ok, but we're also in the desert and don't get rain very often.

My township used to oil the road and cover with a course sand (so the oil
wouldnt stick to your tires) The sun, traffic and dust combined over the
course of a summer to form a crude kind of asphalt topping. Would last for
2 or three years depending on winter heave and than they would do it again.
IF you object to using old oil, there is a soybean oil that is used for the
same purpose

Here in NE Oh where the rural countryside is peppered with shallow gas and
oil wells the local government allowed the spreading/spraying of brine
water (mixed with crude oil then separated once in the holding tank and
drained off.) for dust control. This worked reasonably well as the brine
has a tendency to glue the contents of the road surface together. And it
didn't cost anything actually saving the operator costs from pumping the
brine down a disposal well.

I think EPA has put a clamp on that -- at least that's what the County
here is saying is the reason they no longer allow the brine disposal
usage here...
