Dust Control Policy

2026 Dust Control for Holmes City Township

Holmes City Township uses the application of chloride yearly to help maintain and save gravel roads as well as control the dust. The Board of Supervisors has determined some areas of township roads with high traffic and certain intersections to need yearly dust control and is therefore applied free of charge to those areas.

Should property owners desire to have dust control materials placed at locations other than what the Board of Supervisors has deemed necessary, the resident (or residents) adjacent to that road will need to contact the Township Clerk through the contact form below. Chloride requests must be submitted by May 20th, 2026.

Once a request for chloride is submitted, the resident is expected to have white flags placed on the side of the road located at the ends of the area they wish to be treated (Flags are located at the Holmes City Townhall next to mailbox) Chloride application may begin on or after June 1st, depending on weather, road conditions and equipment. Township officials have no control over this timing. The price has been set $0.90 per linear foot of application (2026). 

The footage is determined by the driver and Township employee, if present.
