Pavement preservation activity consists of the following:

• Resurfacing: Crews remove a layer of the asphalt surface and then repave with new asphalt that may
include up to 50 percent recycled content.

• Slurry sealing: Crews apply liquid asphalt made with recycled waste tires to the riding surface of
residential streets. This thin coat of rubberized material prevents water intrusion and can extend the
service life of the existing pavement by up to seven years. Slurry seal can be applied at intervals of
three to seven years during the life of the road surface.

• Large Asphalt Repairs: Crews remove and replace distressed pavement. At times the removal of
distressed pavement also involves removal of subsurface tree roots that are pushing up the surface of
the pavement.

• Small asphalt repairs, including potholes: Minor defects in the road surface are repaired with hot mix
asphalt or cold patch material by dedicated crews that respond to service requests from the public.
