• Abstract:
  This study is part of a multiple year study to assess the effectiveness of chemical dust suppressant treatment on gravel roads. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the CMAQ program in Wyoming and developed cost effective strategies to implement with CMAQ funds. Long-term performance models were developed to predict the service life and behavior of chemically treated gravel roads. A life-cycle cost analysis was then conducted to compare the cost of maintaining chemically treated roads with the cost of maintaining untreated roads.
