“Best Practices Guide”
• Markets first (especially HMA)
• RAS product specifications
• Processing guidelines
• Worker health and safety
• Sourcing *
• Overall system design
![Page 5: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Key Barriers
• Lack of clear industry standards and specifications
• Inconsistent state regulations
• Lack of adequate information / technology transfer
• Lack of national leadership by private industry and government

Multiple Applications• Hot mix asphalt (HMA)
• Aggregate / gravel
• Dust control
• Cold patch
• Ground cover
• Fuel (e.g., cement kilns)
• New shingles
![Page 64: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Factors Affecting HMA Performance
• Aggregate gradation of RAS
• Properties of final blended binder content within the HMA as affected by:
– RAS asphalt binder
– Virgin binder
![Page 65: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Factors AffectingHMA Performance (continued)
• Location RAS is incorporated into HMA drum
• Temperature
• Moisture content of RAS and other aggregates
• Retention time in HMA drum
![Page 66: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Potential Benefits
• Rutting resistance (especially at warmer temperatures)
• Conservation of landfill space
• Economic savings to HMA producer due to reduced need for virgin asphalt binder (add oil)
![Page 67: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Potential Disadvantages
• Contamination (tear-offs)
• Added costs of processing and use in HMA
• Increased low-temperature / fatigue cracking
![Page 68: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Mitigating Low Temperature Impacts of RAS
• Use less RAS instead of 5%(e.g., use 2% to 3%)
• Adjust the virgin binder PG to one grade softer (e.g., PG 52-34)
• Assure minimum amount of virgin binder (regardless of PG)
![Page 69: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Engineering Design Philosophy
• Manufacturing a high quality product
• Not just recycling a waste material
• Long-term sustainability
![Page 70: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Deleterious Material• Nails
• Other metal
• Wood
• Cellophane
• Other plastic
• Paper
• Fiber board
![Page 71: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Two Sourcing Alternatives
• Source separation (at the job site)
• Central processing(at the shingle recycling facility)
![Page 72: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Pre-Sorting
• Inspections prior to any grinding
• Manual removal of any large items
• Elevated sorting platform
![Page 73: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Require Certification
• Require written “chain-of-custody” certifications
• Develop pre-approved customer list of certified suppliers
• Maintain permanent file of all supply certifications
![Page 74: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Grinding Equipment Vendors
• Examine designs dedicated to shingles
• Get customer references and then ask the questions about actual operating performance
• Plan for adequate maintenance
![Page 75: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Ayres, April 2004
![Page 76: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Dust Control
• Comprehensive plan• Spray with optimum amounts of water at
critical grinding stages• Shrouds• Negative air (i.e., suction) systems to
remove ambient dust and light debris• Standard employee health and safety
protection equipment and procedures
![Page 77: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Removal of Nails and Other Ferrous
• Assure an even layer of material on conveyor belts equipped with magnets
• Multiple magnets (minimum of three or four)• Use combination of pulley belt and overhead
magnets• Combine metal detection device with manual
hand sorting for final quality control process

Final Product Quality
• Conduct adequate testing
• Provide quality guarantees
• Keep covered to reduce unwanted moisture
• Metered pre-blending with bituminous aggregate or RAP to reduce reagglomeration
![Page 79: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Final Product Preparation
• If stockpiled, pulverization of final product may be necessary immediately prior to use in HMA plant
• Alternatively, use RAS “fresh” about one week after production to avoid extended stockpiling

Summary Highlights
• Risk from asbestos is negligible to non-existent
• Two rounds of sampling for total:– Dust (1999)– Fibers (2002)
• Common sense and best management practices can help prevent employee exposure

Asbestos Testing
• Explore exemption alternative, but if not, then …..
• ….develop product sampling plan• ….develop supply sampling plan on
whole shingles / mixed roofing scrap• Recognize that more initial testing may
be needed to gather adequate baseline data
![Page 97: January 14 – 16, 2007 ● San Antonio, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815269550346895dc09bbb/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Additional Environmental Risks
• Air emissions impacts from tear-off RAS in HMA plants
• PAH and other particulates
• Run-off from whole shingles and RAS stockpiles
• Run-off from RAS use as ground cover or dust control (in 100% form)
