In the Matter of Authorizing Advertisement of Bids for Purchase of 2024 Gravel Road Surface Stabilization Material; MP3776. Yakima County developed the Gravel Road Surface Stabilization Program to mitigate impacts to dust sensitive agricultural crops, improve quality of life for residence, assist in reducing dust particles in PM10 air quality attainment areas, improve traffic safety, and reduce gravel road maintenance cost by limiting rock loss and continual grading. The initial practice of providing dust control products to various county roads began in 1975. Public expectancy, dramatic material cost, Material availability, and environmental concerns gave cause for the program to be formally organized in 2003 by establishing priorities and budget. This is a continuation of that program.
