The city is resurfacing its streets with a slurry seal made largely from ground asphalt from old roads mixed with an oil emulsion. The protective layer will cover one-third of city streets, according to the report.
The $396,000 program, which costs the city the same amount as using virgin material for street resurfacing, will recycle 1,425 tons of old pavement and save 625 barrels of oil, according to the report.
The slurry seal mixture, provided by Riverside-based Pavement Recycling Systems, requires less oil than using new materials.
