          Or just a few miles away. All but the two geographically-small counties making up Colorado’s Front Range urban corridor include either mountain or plains rural terrain with gravel roads and do dust mitigation. Water is used for short-term control, eg like this. For longer-term control these days, various plant-based binders are added to the water before application. These not only control the dust, but help keep the gravel in place.

          And no, you wouldn’t want to walk behind the truck applying the binders.Report
