Around here the County can spray it by the barrel full on the gravel roads .
The state just recently put gravel burms along the state highway then came back through in a coupls days and sprayed the graved with dirty used oil .
Yet let me accidently spill some of a quart of clean oil on my drive way or in my yard and the EPA would be all over me in full force.

Pave it, thats what I did 3 years ago. My drive is 280' long and 40 feet wide at the barn. 4,600 SQ total and its the best $7500 I have ever spent. I hated gravel.

Use the flakes, not the pellets. They also use some type of beet juice for this.
