Shale oil asphalt also meets or exceeds the performance of the improved, but more costiy, polymer-based asphalt. Since 1989, more than 8 km (5 mi) of test strips of SOMAT have been placed on various roadways in seven U.S. states. The SOMAT has demonstrated marked improvement over...

Local Site Condition Evaluation. In addition to visiting the site, drawing up a contour map and geology reports, acquiring sod-bearing information, and a knowledge of boundaries, setbacks, local requirements, utdity tie-in locations, sewer connections, access to roadways, pipelines, radroads, etc, may be needed to make a fliU assessment. 

Open areas around the operating units of a plant act as buffers to the surrounding community. Sufficient clearance should be allowed so that, if tall stmctures coUapse, other on-site buildings or equipment, or off-site properties are not affected. Adequate roadways providing entry to the plant are extremely important, and multiple entries and exits are advisable. An overcrowded plant can lead to damage or shutdown of adjacent units and may impede the movement of vehicles and materials in case of emergency (85). Another consideration is community fire-fighting assistance, first aid, and medical facihties. 

Another furnace that does not require fuel preparation is the stoker boiler, which was used by New York State Electric Gas Corporation (NYSEG) in its TDE tests. At NYSEG, the stoker boiler, which has a 1649°C (3000°E) flame temperature (as does the cyclone boiler), has routinely blended low quaUty coal, and more recently, wood chips with its standard coal to reduce fuel costs and improve combustion efficiency. In the tire-chip tests, NYSEG burned approximately 1100 t of tire chips (smaller than 5x5 cm) mixed with coal and monitored the emissions. The company determined that the emissions were similar to those from burning coal alone. In a second test-bum of 1900 t of TDE, magnetic separation equipment removed metal from the resulting ash, so that it could be recycled as a winter traction agent for roadways. 

Not only may the cooling-tower plume be a source of fog, which in some weather conditions can ice roadways, but the plume also carries salts from the cooling water itself. These salts may come from salinity in the water, or may be added by the cooling-tower operator to prevent corrosion and biological attack in the column. 

Sufficient distance should be provided from the outer nozzles to keep spray from being carried over the sides of the basin. If it is not possible to provide 7.6 to 10.7 m (25 to 35 ft) of space, the pond should be enclosed with a louver fence, equal in hei t to the maximum height of the spray, to minimize drift loss. Also, during cold-weather periods, fogging can occur from the spray pond, so that consideration should be given to possible hazards to roadways or buildings in the immediate vicinity. 

The Phoenicians were building water ducts and pipelines of clay, stone, or bronze about 1000 B.c. and the construction of long-distance water pipelines flourished in imperial Roman times. The water supply lines of Rome had a total length of about 450 km, and consisted mainly of open or covered water ducts. The Roman writer Vitruvius gives a fairly accurate description of the manufacture of lead pipes [8]. The pipes were above ground and were often laid beside the roadway or in ducts inside houses [9].

While motor vehicles built today emit fewer pollutants (60% to 80% less, depending on the pollutant) than those built in the 1960s, cars and trucks still account for almost half the emissions of the ozone precursors VOCs and NO, and up to 90% of the CO emissions in urban areas. The principal reason for this problem is the rapid growth in the number of vehicles on the roadways and total miles driven.

Existing or possible future railroads and highways adjacent to the plant must be known in order to be able to plan rail sidings and access roads within the plant. Railroad spurs, roadways of the correct capacity and location, and an overall master track and road plan of the plant area should be provided for in a traffic study. 

HIWAY-ROADWAY are two models which compute die hourly concentrations of non-reactive pollutants downwind of roadways and predict pollutant concentrations within two hundred meters of a highway, respectively. 

Roadways should allow easy approach of emergency vehicles. 

A rectangular block layout should be followed to provide adequate roadways between process equipment for emergency vehicle access and minimize the spread of fire.
