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