Douglas County Dust Control Test 
W/O 11-15-10

When Boothill ("West"- durablend application) and Buckboard ("East"- 7030 application) roads were observed on Thursday, November 18th at 2:00 pm, there were no visible differences in the appearance of the roads. Both roads were wet with patches of dry spots due to the moisture received in the area throughout the week. There was no potholing or wash-boarding on either of the roads and both drove smoothly with no dust to speak of.

For photos of the 11-18-10 observation, please reference the "Douglas County Project" in the research and development section of our website. Photos of the 7030 portion of road can be found on the "Douglas County East" hyper-link in the "Photo Gallery" section and photos of the durablend portion of road can be found on the "Douglas County West" hyper-link in the "Photo Gallery" section.
