ARKANSAS WASTE IN MUNICIPAL AREAS SUITABLE FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION OR MAINTENANCE
THE CATEGORIES AND QUANTITIES OF MUNICIPAL WASTE PRODUCTS ARE AGGREGATES (2 MILLION TONS/YR), GLASS (2200 TONS/YR), CHEMICAL WASTES (3 MILLION TONS/YR), WOOD PRODUCTS AND PAPER (50,000 TONS/YR), RUBBER (2000 TONS/YR), AND TEXTILES AND MISCELLANEOUS (VARIABLE QUANTITIES). AGGREGATES, WOODCHIP MULCHES, BROWN MUD, DRIED SEWAGE SLUDGE, INCINERATOR RESIDUES CAN BE USED IN FILLS AND EMBANKMENTS. WOODCHIP MULCHES ARE EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING EROSION. DRIED SEWAGE SLUDGE IS AN EFFECTIVE SOIL CONDITIONER AND FERTILIZER. BROWN MUD AND HYDRATED LIME CAN STABILIZE PLASTIC CLAYS. RUBBER, BRINE, AND ACID HOLD PROMISE FOR FUTURE USE. RUBBER HOLDS PROMISE AS A VISCO-ELASTIC LAYER TO ELIMINATE PAVEMENT CRACKING AND AS A PLASTICIZER IN WEARING COURSES BUT THE TECHNOLOGY FOR THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY DEVELOPED. BRINE, GYPSUM, AND SPENT SULFURIC ACID APPEAR TO BE GOOD SOIL STABILIZERS AND CONDITIONS. STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF BRINE AND ACID ON THE ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE MADE BEFORE USE. /NTIS/
