Fugitive dust emissions from ash occur during material loading, unloading, transferring, stockpiling and other material handling procedures.
Utilities and power plants are charged with complying with fugitive dust regulations as they relate to air quality. The EPA and local regulatory agencies continue to develop stringent guidelines. Facilities must adhere to these guidelines to protect the environment against the health threats related to unsuppressed dust, as well as other related problems such as lower productivity due to poor site conditions.
Once the ash reaches the stockpile or ashpond it may be sealed to prevent winds from lifting fines and creating dust as well as entering stormwater runoff.
Soil-Sement® is designed specifically for the control of dust, erosion, sediment, silt and stormwater runoff from ash. It was developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior performance. Soil-Sement® has also been extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations.

Soil-Sement®
A polymer emulsion blend. It is a milky-white liquid that requires dilution with water to aid in penetration into the surface and it obtain optimum moisture for maximum compaction. Soil-Sement® “cures” upon the evaporation of the water and dries clear. It is considered non-hazardous per OSHA and EPA definitions. It is particularly effective for environmentally sensitive areas or areas where natural aesthetics are required.
Midwest also understands that managing a program in-house is extremely difficult with the internal demands and pressures on developers and contractors. And outsourcing is not necessarily easy. We have the programs that provide either turnkey control of fugitive dust or a guaranteed program of monitoring and maintaining the prescribed level of dust control.
