Lawrence County approved Resolution 2026-13 to set the annual price for chloride dust-control applications on county roads at $1.38 per gallon.
Road staff explained the county provides labor and equipment while charging private individuals only for the material; last year the program brought in approximately $13,000. The resolution formalizes the petition-based process for residents to request chloride application on certain county roads. Commissioner motion and a second carried the resolution by voice vote.
The county emphasized this applies only to county roads and not to private property. Staff said the pricing is intended to recover material costs while maintaining county provision of equipment and labor for these requests.
