Civil
Construction Dust Control & Water Truck Service
Klean Lots provides construction dust control across King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Thurston County using water trucks and sweeping to keep fugitive dust off haul roads, stockpiles, and neighboring properties. We run dust control on WSDOT and Sound Transit projects including the Federal Way and Redmond Link extensions. Call (253) 410-0159.
Dust is a compliance problem, a neighbor problem, and a visibility problem at the same time. In the Puget Sound the dry window is short but intense — a graded site in July will generate visible plumes within hours of the last rain, and the complaints reach the jurisdiction faster than they reach you. The fix is boring and reliable: keep the surface damp, keep the fines swept up before they can become airborne, and do it on a schedule tied to the weather rather than to a complaint.

What dust control from Klean Lots includes
Haul road and access watering
Scheduled passes on the roads your trucks use, which produce the majority of site dust.
Stockpile and exposed surface control
Watering of stockpiles, graded pads, and disturbed areas during dry and windy conditions.
Demolition and crushing support
Water applied at the source during high-generation activities.
Sweeping paired with watering
Removing the fines instead of just wetting them, which is the only thing that actually reduces the dust load.
Weather-responsive scheduling
More passes on hot dry days, fewer when it rains, instead of a fixed frequency you pay for either way.
Equipment we run
- Water trucks with spray bars and hose reels
- Regenerative air sweepers for removing fine particulate from paved surfaces
- Mechanical brooms for heavy material ahead of a regen air pass
Who we do this for
- Earthwork and mass grading operations in summer
- Transit and highway projects adjacent to residential areas
- Demolition, crushing, and material processing sites
- Unpaved haul roads and laydown yards
How it works
- 1
Call (253) 410-0159 with the site, the activity generating dust, and how long it will run.
- 2
We set a watering frequency tied to the weather and the operation, and pair it with sweeping on paved surfaces.
- 3
Crews adjust in real time — dry and windy means more passes, not the same passes.
Permits, compliance & why this matters
Fugitive dust from construction sites in the central Puget Sound falls under Puget Sound Clean Air Agency rules, and dust control is also a required element of the Construction Stormwater General Permit, covered as BMP C140 in Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Watering plus sweeping is the standard combination, because watering alone only delays the problem until the surface dries.

Dust Control: common questions
Is dust control required on Washington construction sites?
Yes in practice. Sites under the Construction Stormwater General Permit are required to control dust, and fugitive dust is separately regulated by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency in King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties. Visible dust leaving your property is the trigger for a complaint or a citation.
Do you provide water trucks with operators?
Yes. Our water truck service comes with a driver, so you are not putting one of your own people on it.
Does sweeping actually help with dust?
More than watering does, long term. Watering suppresses dust until the surface dries. Sweeping removes the fine material that becomes airborne in the first place. Doing both is what keeps a site clean through a dry stretch.
