Rio Rancho Uses Stabilizer on 14 Dirt Roads
An observer notes Rio Rancho Public Works allocated 50000 dollars to stabilize 14 dirt roads with a chemical soil stabilizer. After testing three products on three roads, GMCO was chosen for dust reduction and longer intervals between grading, with the treated road reporting minimal dust and no service calls for four months. The city aims to finish all 14 roads, totaling just under eight miles, in about three months.
