The major release of chlordecone to sediments, however, occurred indirectly as a result of waste water discharges, runoff of contaminated soil, and direct disposal of solid wastes at a production facility in Hopewell, Virginia. An estimated 10,000-30,000 kg (22,000-66,100 lb) of chlordecone is associated with bottom sediment in the James River estuary (Huggett and Bender 1980 Nichols 1990). This sediment serves as a reservoir for future release of chlordecone via resuspension of sediments resulting from storms or dredging activities (Lunsford et al. 1987). 

River (upstream from Hopewell) at 0.1 pg/L (ppb) (Epstein 1978). Hopewell drinking water drawn from the James River contained no detectable chlordecone levels (EPA 1978c Epstein 1978). In 1977, 12 years after production of chlordecone began and 2 years after production ceased, average concentrations of chlordecone in estuarine water (dissolved) were <10 ng/L (ppt) (Nichols 1990). In October 1981,6 years after production at the plant ceased, chlordecone water concentrations ranged from not detectable to 0.02 pg/L (ppb) (Lunsford et al. 1987).

Generally, the organic additive and the chemical additive systems produce WMA, the bitumen emulsion-based process produces HWMA and the other systems vary (Nicholls and James 2013). 

Products currently available in the market are Asphaltan-B, BituTech PER, Ecoflex, isom-erised paraffin, EEADCAP, Licomont BS 100, Sasobit, Shell Thiopave, SonneWarmix and Siibit (D Angelo et al. 2008 NAPA 2011 Nicholls and James 2013 Prowell 2007). 

Products currently available in the market are Advera WMA, Aspha-min, Astec Green Systems, ECOMAC, LEAB, LT asphalt and Tri-Mix warm mix injection system (NAPA 2011 Nicholls and James 2013). 

With respect to deformation, stiffness and fatigue resistance, Nicholls and James (2013) concluded the following. 

The deformation resistance for WMA and HWMA is generally acceptable and often better than HMA mixtures, but the performance does depend on the system (Nicholls and James 2013).
