Notes
1. Topical application rates
shown are to obtain 1/2 to 1 inch of penetration. Higher
applications rates should be used if greater penetration is
needed.
Windrow
rate shown is to give sufficient
penetration to form a 4-6 inch thick
temporary travel surface.
2. The dilution ratio
(concentrate: water) is variable, and shall be appropriate
for the intended use, and local soil and weather conditions, as
proposed by
the Contractor and agreed upon by the Control Officer.
3. Application rate of mixed
solution at the typical dilution ratio. First
application follows removal of the windrow. Second application
follows replacement
of the windrow. Third application, if needed follows the second
application.
Windrow:
Method of making a temporary road surface. A 4 to 6 inch layer
of soil is scraped off the
surface. The surface is treated with dust suppressant. The windrow scraped off the
surface. The surface is treated with dust suppressant. The
windrow is scraped back onto the surface and another treatment
of dust suppressant is applied. A
compaction step may be necessary. |
