Recommendations and Comments

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet	885 Dorian Brawner Agency	Y Approve	The product appears to be of similar quality, thickness and has comparable traits to soil stabilizers which are already in use and have proven to be effective. The primary difference appears to be the oval slots for anchoring it to the post. I do not see this as causing negative effects to the product or its performance. Therefore, I recommend the product for movement into the next phase.	Sep 20, 2017	1968
