Complying with fugitive dust suppression regulations as they relate to water and air quality, as well as the impact on aquatic and human health can be a big challenge. BMPs with regards to fugitive dust suppression begin with permit issuance and continue through post-construction activities. The EPA and local regulatory agencies continue to develop guidelines associated with new development and re-development. You 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 and higher costs of grading and surface maintenance.
Midwest can help you with these issues by offering a complete line of products and services to manage fugitive dust, particulate emissions, PM10 and PM2.5. Each product was developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior performance. They have also been extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations.
To see more information, technical specifications, articles and bulletins, environmental data and success stories on these products, make a selection from the products listed below:
Soil-Sement®
A polymer emulsion blend. Soil-Sement® “cures” 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.
Soil-Sement® Engineered Formula
A highly engineered formulation of Soil-Sement® developed for applications that require superior dry strength and wet strength properties.
EnviroKleen®
Synthetic Organic Dust Control™ that is clear to slightly tinted upon application and will usually make the soil appear darker. It is considered non-hazardous, colorless, and odorless and will not trigger reporting requirements when used properly for NPDES regulations, nor will it create oil-sheen. Does not require dilution with water.
EK35®
Formulated with the same Synthetic Organic Dust Control™ as EnviroKleen®, but is modified with naturally-occurring resins that work to agglomerate fine silt or clay particles making them larger so they cannot become airborne. EK35® is particularly well suited for applications with heavy equipment or where there is carry-over and spillage. The natural penetration and action of the traffic “work” the EK35® into the surface.
Haul Road Dust Control®
A blend of special surfactants that increase the ability of water to wet and suppress fugitive dust.
Road Oyl®
A patented resin-modified emulsion that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for bare earth or unpaved surfaces such as stockpiles or unpaved roads. Formulated from tree resin ingredients, this state-of-the-art, non-ionic emulsion technology is unique in its high bonding strength and is appropriate for use even in close proximity to wetland areas and other areas of environmental sensitivity. Road Oyl® provides the clean, high performance technology needed for any type of project requiring dust control and soil stabilization.
Midwest also understands that managing a program in-house can be extremely difficult. 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.
