The Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Program Phase 9/10 project was designed to mitigate dust emissions on 3.62 square miles of the Owens Lakebed. This project developed 14 dust-control areas on a 3.62-square-mile portion of a dry lakebed using locally sourced gravel cover, vegetation and sustainable shallow flooding. Finalizing a 15+ year program, the project was completed in December 2017. Upon completion of Phase 9/10, the City of Los Angeles’ overall investment in the Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Program was approximately $2 Billion.
