Dave Miller:
In 2012 the road program will emphasize improving the road surfaces and ditching to keep water off the road surface. Chloride for dust control will not be applied this year. Chloride is designed to last 2-3 years and all of our roads have had chloride sprayed on them in the last 2 years. Also, applying too much chloride on the roads tends to harden the road surface, holding water on the road and making it more difficult to grade.
