Not in My Backyard Lets Talk Recycling

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Utilizing the Value o Asphalt has always been Recyclable o Valuable material in Hot Mix Asphalt o Used when and where feasible n How do we expand to better utilize this value

RAP Utilization o Products n Chip Seal n Slurry Seal & Micro Surfacing o Processing o Unique Example o Deep Recycling n Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) n Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR)

Products Typical Uses o RAP Base o Shoulder Backing o Trucking yards o Dust Control o Crushed Miscellaneous Base Good products but they don’t use the most valuable asphalt

Products Chip Seals

(Based on dry weight of aggregate) 1. On unextracted RAP. 2. On extracted RAP. Determined by CT 362, CT 379 or CT 382.

RAP Chip Material Residual Asphalt Chips Single stones and conglomerations Residual asphalt content will vary by sample

Laboratory Tests on Chip n Los Angeles Abrasion (ASTM C 131) n. Cleanness Value: 58 (Cal 227) o 5% Loss -100 Revolutions o 23% Loss – 500 Revolutions n. Spec is 75 minimum n. But not an issue

3/8” Chips Appearance is dirty but the dust is actually asphalt dust. Bonding capability is outstanding.

RAP Chip Seal Early Projects El Rivino Rd San Bernardino County 2006 November 2014

RAP Chip Seal Los Angeles County Avenue J 2009 Scrub seal with rejuvenating emulsion Extensive block cracking and alligator cracking

RAP Chip Seal Los Angeles County Hand applied additional chip to low areas Rain fell that night

RAP Chip Seal Los Angeles County Avenue J 7/18/14

Great Retention

Best Practices RAP Chip Seal n What is a clean chip seal o Dust is not dust, it’s asphalt o Gradation problems will affect ability to bond n With emulsions chips should be moist n Rejuvenators are very good but should not be overapplied n Double chips seal o One layer should not be RAP

Rap Slurry Gradations

RAP Slurry Material Consistent Residual Asphalt through Segregation Slurry Dust Very few conglomerations Residual asphalt remains consistent

RAP Slurry Seal Laboratory Test Results RAP Slurry Seal Component Amount ISSA Type II Amount Emulsion 10% - 14% 12% - 18% Residual AC 12. 5% Min. 7. 5% - 13. 5% Minimum 12. 5% Residual @ 10% Emulsion Minimum 7. 5% Residual @ 12% Emulsion

Field Test Applications Calibration: as with any slurry or micro, calibration is essential! o RAP is lighter than virgin aggregate. o Because RAP emulsion percentage is low, gate may need to be modified. o Insure material will run through gate without clumping.

Field Test Applications o July 2003, Descanso Gardens, La Canada, CA. o 13. 5% CQS-1 h 2005 Subject to excessive water

Field Test Applications o August 2003, Rodeo Access Rd, Devore, CA o Varied percentages and additives

RAP Slurry & Micro Surfacing Southern California Testing Started in 2003 Why RAP o 100% Recycled o Better Color Retention o Cost Effective o Zero Loss in Performance Six Months after Rain & Snow

Conventional Equipment Super Results From 2003 to 2014

Best Practices o Slurry Seal n n RAP Fines must be fresh. Material that has been stored or stockpiled too long should be rescreened Stock Pile Management o Do not stock pile too much o n n material Use material as it is delivered (load out from all sides) Do not load trucks the night before Minimum requirement of 3% latex polymer Rubber tire roller, minimum three passes High traffic areas can not be over asphalted

Finished Environmentally Friendly Product

How to Utilize RAP o Screening Process o Utilization of In House RAP Existing RAP Stock Pile or New RAP Stock Pile Being Developed

RAP Aggregate Products Prodced § § § Rap Chips (5/16” and 3/8”) Rap Type II Slurry Dust Crushed Miscellaneous Base AC Base RAP Base Mixing Aggregates for CCPR

Stockpile Management

5/16” Chips Made from RAP All chips must be screened twice!

RAP Slurry/Micro Dust Screening process for slurry and chips requires segregation. o 50%-60% Slurry o 40%-50% Chips Balancing the end product can be challenging

Best Practices o Clean RAP for Slurry n Contaminated material should be segregated for use on other products n Sand Equivalent (SE) o Utilization of multiple products at one time n Chips and slurry dust – Slurry and AC Base o Minimum of two screenings for chips. o Moisture content n Wet for chips on Emulsion Binders n Dry for chips on Hot Asphalt Binders o RAP Slurry Seal can not sit more than two to four weeks without being re-screened.

Caltrans On-Site Management

Caltrans District 8 Maintenance o In house crews n n n o Chip Seal Crack Seal Shoulder Backing Contract Work n Slurry Seal Utilized four RAP piles separated by over 150 miles from each other. This process allowed Caltrans to make multiple products from their own material. The trucking cost can exceed $38 per ton to some locations. Superior products used for two years with little to no additional cost.

Closing Statement One of the key elements of the County's sustainable program is maximizing the opportunity to reutilize Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in our pavement preservation Treatments. For the last three years we have committed to using RAP in all our pavement preservation treatments. Aside from the environmental benefits gained by using the RAP material in these treatments we are very pleased with their performance as well.
