| description abstract | Road dust from unpaved roads (dirt roads) is a major source of airborne particulates; the loss of those fines accelerates the deterioration of roads. As a result, road dust emissions are a major concern of the users and managers of dirt roads. Exxon Mobil has been concerned with the dust emissions and rapid road deterioration of the access roads in its natural gas production facility in the Piceance Creek Basin north of Rifle, Colorado. As part of the access road management plan for Exxon Mobil Piceance Creek, a research project was initiated to investigate the effectiveness of several chemical dust suppressants in reducing dust emissions, thus prolonging the intervals between periodic maintenance. Rio Blanco County and the Bureau of Land Management participated in this project. Using the Colorado State University Dustometer and its associated dust measurement protocol, it was found that all chemical suppressants decrease dust emissions and that magnesium chloride ( | |
