Recommendations and Comments

KYTC D11	86 David Hacker Agency	Y Approve	The producer modified the LT-1 from last year formulation. A field trial was conducted on June 5, 2019. The emulsion rate of application during the field trial was verified and visual inspection for tracking was done by Department personnel. Core was taken from the field trial and the results exceed the bond strength of 100 psi. Because of the field trial and the bond strength obtained a recommendation would be moved the product to phase 4.	Jun 06, 2019	2362
Materials	85 Tamara Bumgardner Agency	U Undecided	Construction has reported issues in field. Material formulation should be evaluated.	Jul 31, 2018	2171
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet/Division of Materials	718 Robert Semones Agency	N Disapprove	This product was used in District 3 and it failed miserably. Jason Hurt sent photos regarding the performance of LT-1 after it had been placed 30 minutes. It is my recommendation that this product not be used until another test site (non-state route) is chosen to shown that the product will perform as expected.	Jul 16, 2018	2149
