    * While multiple water trucks and/or hydroseeders may be necessary on large projects, the increased functional longevity of DustRX Hydro allows contractors to cover more ground in between applications. If the entire project needs to be covered in a day, additional pieces of equipment may be needed.  
    1) CCF = Centum Cubic Feet = 100 Cubic Feet = 748 Gallons    
    2) Typical water application rates for dust control are 4,000 gallons/acre/pass.    
    3) Reapplication of water for dust control is typically required 2-3 times/day on active construction sites, but is dependent on climatic and soil conditions. Please input average number of applications/day.  
    4) Average time required to fill, mix, apply and return to water source.    
    5) Average hourly cost for running requisite equipment, operators, and laborers for dust control applications.  
    6) DustRX Hydro is anticipated to last multiple days, but longevity is dependent based on site conditions (traffic, climate, soil type, etc.). Reapplication may be necessary depending on project duration.
