Abstract
A method of utilizing contaminated water for soil stabilization operations or for the preparation of aggregates for use in asphaltic mix designs. A method where soil is evaluated for a soil typed and characteristic and a classified mixture of contaminated water is selected based on the soil type and characteristics. A reagent is selected based on the soil type and characteristics and the selected water mixture. The reagent and water mixture are then mixed to form a modified calcium hydroxide that is then applied to the soil. A method where an aggregated is desired to have better adherent qualities within the mix design for better performance is selected and the surface water reduced/removed through the use of a select reagent and contaminated water.
