The Nemaha County Commissioners are making available a dust control program to interested residents who live or own property on County maintained roads. The program consists of applying DustGard to rock roads in front of houses and proerties in an effort to control dust created by vechicles.

The cost of this program will be borne by individual residents and indiviual proerty owners who request to participate. The minimum distance required to apply dust control is 500 feet. The cost of material, labor and equipment to treat a 500 foot strip of road is $1.50 per foot for a total cost of $750. Nemaha County is not respositble for effectiveness of treatment for dust control.

All residents living on Nemaha County roads wishing to participate in this program will need to go through Nemaha County. Nemaha County will do no blading on these treated areas as long as the road condition does not deteriorate. Nemaha County will retain the right to maintain the treated areas after November 1st 2020. Due to the Covid-19 virus, this year the County is handling sign up and payment differently. Anyone wishing to participate will need to call the Nemaha County Highway Department at 785-336-2168 to sign up by Friday, April 24th 2020.
