minimum of 10 lbs . , but not greater than 15 lbs . of aggregate per sq . yd .
The engineer will give final approval to the design and rate of
application used .
j
WEATHER
The Slurry Seal shall not be applied if the pavement or the air
temperature is 55 degrees F . or below and falling , but may be applied
when both the air and pavement temp . is 45 degrees F . or above and
rising . The mixture should not be applied if high relative humidity
prolongs the curing time . beyond a reasonable amount .
TRAFFIC CONTROL
Suitable methods such as barricades , flagmen , pilot cars , etc . shall be
used to protect the uncured slurry surface from all types of traffic ,
Any damage to the uncured slurry will be the responsiblility of the
contractor. The engineer or Contracting Officer shall give final
approval of the method used . If damage occurs where suitable means have
been made to protect the uncured slurry , violators will be prosecuted
and the contractor will be reimbursed for the damages .
