Application
Application procedures vary with product type. Always seek manufacturer's advice and specifications.
1. Refer to approved plans for location, extent, and application details. If there are questions or problems with the location, extent, or method of application contact the engineer or responsible on-site officer for assistance.
2. Ensure the use of a given soil binder is approved by the State prior to its use.
