Recommendations and Comments

KYTC D11	86 David Hacker Agency	U Undecided	If a project is selected it will be needed to be evaluated by the Department, KTC, or independent lab. Recommend testing once a year and evaluate the product on how it performs compared to a control section for the duration of the pavement life. Recommend only one project to be performed, if elected, to determine the benefit to the asphalt mixture.	Mar 19, 2020	2649
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet/Division of Materials	718 Robert Semones Agency	N Disapprove	KYTC does not approve rejuvenators for hot mix asphalt at this time. Currently working with NCAT and other agencies on the use of rejuvenators.	Mar 09, 2020	2640
