As part of Maricopa County’s PM-10 (particulate matter) compliance strategy, the 2007 Five Percent Plan identifies dust suppression and soil stabilization as essential control measures for reducing airborne particulates in nonattainment areas. Unpaved roads, vacant lots, construction activities, and disturbed open areas are flagged as primary contributors to PM-10 emissions. The plan supports the use of synthetic chemical stabilizers and non-water-based dust suppressants as effective alternatives to water, particularly for long-term stabilization in arid climates. Products such as Soiltac®, a synthetic copolymer emulsion, and Durasoil®, a non-petroleum synthetic organic fluid, align directly with the plan’s approved methodologies for reducing fugitive dust across municipal, industrial, and construction sectors.
Applicable for compliance-focused professionals and air quality managers, Soilworks’ solutions support:
PM-10 reduction on unpaved roads, parking lots, and vacant land
Long-lasting dust suppression without daily watering
Compatibility with Maricopa County Rule 310 and associated enforcement actions
To meet regulatory standards while optimizing operational efficiency, contact Soilworks for PM-10 mitigation strategies using Soiltac or Durasoil across high-risk dust emission sites.
