Dust Control Notice
3/9/2009

Hardin County will again be allowing the application of dust control in front of rural residences.  Dust control material can be placed at the owner’s expense under the following conditions:

Residents can either apply the dust control themselves or hire a contractor to do the application.  If you intend to apply the dust control material yourself, it will be necessary to obtain a permit from the County Engineer’s Office prior to doing the work.  If you choose to hire a contractor to make the application, the following contractors have expressed an interest in working in Hardin County and they will supply you with an application or you may download one from here.

Property owners should contact the contractor directly and work with them.  The contractor will in turn notify the County as to the location the dust control is to be applied so that the County can go out beforehand and ensure that the road is smooth.  Flags to mark your dust control areas can be obtained from the County Engineer’s Office, 708 16th Street in Eldora.

We will be imposing a signup deadline of April 20, 2009 for the Spring 2009 Season.  A late fee of $25.00 will be assessed on permits received after April 20, 2009.  A permit applied for after the deadline will not be issued and dust control will not be allowed to be placed until this late fee is paid.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

Anyone having any questions about the application of dust control can call the Hardin County Engineer’s Office at (641) 858-5058 or email Corliss Vinton.
