| Abstract/Contents: | "The majority of state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) involved with compost utilization have either recently completed or are in the process of developing or revising their specifications for one or more types of compost. These findings are based on a nationwide study conducted for the Florida DOT that involved telephone interviews with landscape architects, engineers, and maintenance and environmental planning officials regarding compost utilization by their agencies...Nationwide survey of state transportation agencies answers key questions about cost savings, application results and compost specifications." |
