Soilworks products are the industry’s top standard due to our insistence on creating high performance soil stabilization and dust control products that stand up to rigorous testing – both in the lab and in the field. Our commitment to quality and performance has led to our involvement and testing in hundreds of real-world situations. The following library of reports, presentations, specifications, approvals and other similar documents provide you, our customer, the transparency and dependable assurance that is expected from Soilworks.
The Army Environmental Quality Technology (EQT) Program’s FY2003 initiative prioritized the mitigation of particulate matter (PM) emissions generated by military training, especially from tactical vehicle traffic on unpaved roads. The program’s performance goals included the evaluation of innovative chemical dust palliatives and the development of cost-effective PM measurement technologies tailored for field use. Field trials conducted at Fort Leonard Wood focused on understanding the long-term performance and environmental impact of chemical dust suppressants, directly aligning with Soiltac, a synthetic copolymer emulsion that delivers durable dust control for military-grade applications. These suppressants were part of a broader strategy to meet air quality compliance while preserving mission readiness and avoiding costly fines or training shutdowns.
For defense sector stakeholders and environmental compliance officers, Soiltac provides a field-validated solution for long-term PM reduction on unpaved surfaces, supporting sustainability objectives while maintaining operational mobility. Where visibility, health, or regulatory compliance is a concern, Durasoil offers a non-water-dependent dust suppressant for continuous traffic conditions and dry environments. Soilworks supports PM mitigation strategy development, site-specific application planning, and military logistics integration. Contact Soilworks to incorporate tested dust control technologies into base-wide environmental management systems.

Objective:
Army training activities produce Particulate Matter (PM) that may exceed air quality standards resulting in fines and the reduction/shutdown of military training missions. Since emission characteristics and atmospheric behavior of PM emissions from non-facility sources are not well understood,
A·CM-1
the Army is at a disadvantage when negotiating with regulators. Standard PM control technologies are ineffective and costly. Measurement technologies are too expensive and not appropriate for training mission. Fugitive dust from military maneuvers, tactical vehicle emissions, prescribed burning and obscurant training is the focus of this effort.
Approach:
How this project responds to need: Particulate matter models and measurement technologies meet the primary focus areas of AERTA requirement 2.1.b, with secondary emphasis on dust control technologies.
Sources of PM/dust contamination from Army Operations
Met all performance objectives for FY03.
