Also, when a WMA additive is included in the manufacture of 6 <br />HMA, the discharge temperature of the HMA shall not exceed the maximum 7 <br />recommended by the manufacturer of the WMA additive. A maximum water content of 2 8 <br />percent in the mix, at discharge, will be allowed providing the water causes no problems 9 <br />with handling, stripping, or flushing. If the water in the HMA causes any of these 10 <br />problems, the moisture content shall be reduced as directed by the Engineer. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Storing or holding of the HMA in approved storage facilities will be permitted with 13 <br />approval of the Engineer, but in no event shall the HMA be held for more than 24 hours. 14 <br />HMA held for more than 24 hours after mixing shall be rejected. Rejected HMA shall be 15 <br />disposed of by the Contractor at no expense to the Contracting Agency. The storage 16 <br />facility shall have an accessible device located at the top of the cone or about the third 17 <br />point. The device shall indicate the amount of material in storage. No HMA shall be 18 <br />accepted from the storage facility when the HMA in storage is below the top of the cone 19 <br />of the storage facility, except as the storage facility is being emptied at the end of the 20 <br />working shift. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) utilized in the production of HMA shall be sized prior 23 <br />to entering the mixer so that a uniform and thoroughly mixed HMA is produced. If there is 24 <br />evidence of the recycled asphalt pavement not breaking down during the heating and 25 <br />mixing of the HMA, the Contractor shall immediately suspend the use of the RAP until 26 <br />changes have been approved by the Engineer. After the required amount of mineral 27 <br />materials, RAP, new asphalt binder and asphalt rejuvenator have been introduced into 28 <br />the mixer the HMA shall be mixed until complete and uniform coating of the particles and 29 <br />thorough distribution of the asphalt binder throughout the mineral materials, and RAP is 30 <br />ensured. 31 <br /> 32 <br />5-04.3(7) Spreading and Finishing 33 <br />The mixture shall be laid upon an approved surface, spread, and struck off to the grade 34 <br />and elevation established. HMA pavers complying with Section 5 -04.3(3) shall be used 35 <br />to distribute the mixture. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, the nominal 36 <br />compacted depth of any layer of any course shall not exceed the following: 37 <br /> 38 <br />HMA Class 1” 0.35 feet 39 <br />HMA Class ¾” and HMA Class ½” 40 <br /> wearing course 0.30 feet 41 <br /> other courses 0.35 feet 42 <br />HMA Class ⅜” 0.15 feet 43 <br /> 44 <br />On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical 45 <br />spreading and finishing equipment impractical, the paving may be done with other 46 <br />equipment or by hand. 47 <br /> 48
