CENTERVILLE —
Appanoose County reserves the right to perform normal maintenance (such as blading and granular resurfacing) through areas of dust control to level uneven or rough areas, without liability for the cost of any new dust control application. All dust control applications will be graded after Oct. 1, 2012. Appanoose County grader operators will place rock at their discretion only.
Any person desiring to have dust control on a section of road under county jurisdiction shall be responsible for hiring an approved contractor.
The normal, minimal treatment available will be 300 linear feet with treatment being applied in one or two separate applications. Scheduling of these applications will be the responsibility of the resident-selected contractor in compliance with Appanoose County’s request. Appanoose County may prepare the site prior to the application by the chosen contractor depending on the need to do so. Stakes can be obtained from the Appanoose County Secondary Roads shed. Stakes must be in place from the beginning (May 29, 2012) to the end (Oct. 1, 2012) of the contract period. Failure to maintain Appanoose County-issued stakes may result in loss of dust control.
Contractors approved by Appanoose County, and the costs to the participating residents, are listed below. Payment for the dust control applications will be made directly to the chosen contractor.
