LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 405, as introduced, Archuleta. Solid waste: reclaimed asphalt pavement: pilot project: the County of Los Angeles.The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), generally regulates the disposal, management, and recycling of solid waste. The act authorizes the Department of Transportation to establish specifications for the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement of up to 40% for hot mix asphalt mixes, and specifies that this authorization does not limit the authority of the Department of Transportation to establish specifications for this use of reclaimed asphalt pavement in amounts greater than 40%. The act required the Department of Transportation to submit a report to the Legislature, by March 1, 2016, on its progress, since the year 2011, toward the development and implementation of these specifications.This bill would require the Department of Public Works of the County of Los Angeles to create a pilot project to demonstrate the viability of paving streets, roads, and highways with hot mix asphalt that is composed of between 85% and 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The bill would require the pilot project to be conducted on streets, roads, and highways in the county and would require specific project sites in the county to be determined by the appropriate and usual process of the county. The bill would require the county to establish an evaluation team consisting of specified members to independently observe, document, and evaluate the pilot project. The bill would require the evaluation team to prepare specified documents, including a final report that includes all relevant pilot project information to be submitted to the Department of Transportation, the Legislature, and the Governors office.By imposing additional duties on the County of Los Angeles, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Los Angeles.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Article 3 (commencing with Section 42710) is added to Chapter 14 of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code, to read: Article 3. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Pilot Project42710. For purposes of this article, the following definitions apply:(a) High RAP hot mix asphalt means hot mix asphalt that is composed of between 85 percent and 100 percent reclaimed asphalt pavement.(b) RAP means reclaimed asphalt pavement.(c) Virgin hot mix asphalt means hot mix asphalt that does not contain any RAP and that is produced using either of the following components:(1) Mined or quarried aggregate.(2) Exclusively paving grade asphalt produced from a refinery.42712. The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:(a) The State of California has longstanding policies intended to reduce waste and divert materials from landfills. During the course of street, road, and highway maintenance and repair, a significant amount of excess hot mix asphalt grindings is generated with only a small percentage being reused.(b) The Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 (Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2017) to provide funding of approximately $1 billion annually for the sole and explicit purpose of street, road, and highway repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation. Given current construction costs and hot mix asphalt recycling rates, it is estimated that SB 1 funding will generate approximately 4 million tons annually of excess hot mix asphalt grindings, which may be processed into RAP.42714. (a) The Department of Public Works of the County of Los Angeles shall create a pilot project to demonstrate the viability of paving streets, roads, and highways with high RAP hot mix asphalt.(b) The pilot project may include, but is not limited to, locations that consist of one or more of the following applications:(1) Cold plane removal of existing hot mix asphalt pavement surface to a depth of between one and three inches, and the replacement of the removed depth of hot mix asphalt with a layer of between one and three inches of high RAP hot mix asphalt.(2) Cold plane or micro mill removal of hot mix asphalt on residential streets and its replacement with an asphalt rubber aggregate membrane surfaced with a high RAP hot mix asphalt sand (sheet) mix, in which all aggregate passes through a sieve three-eights of an inch in size.(3) Other applications that can demonstrate additional uses and test the viability of high RAP hot mix asphalt.(c) The pilot project shall be conducted on streets, roads, and highways in the County of Los Angeles.
