Slurry seal / road surface treatment provides a membrane to the roadway surface to prevent water from seeping under the pavement that could rapidly deteriorate the road. Slurry seal / road surface treatments extend the life of the existing pavement. The project consists of cleaning the road surface (including weed removal and sweeping), removing existing stripings and markers, applying a slurry seal / road surface treatment to roadways, restriping, and site cleanup on various unincorporated roadways. The project will maintain the existing drainage pattern and will not create new impervious areas. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented to protect storm drain inlets. No tree removal will be necessary. Tree and shrubbery trimming may be necessary throughout the project area. In order to minimize damage to trees, any roots exposed during construction activities will be clean cut. Residential streets will be closed for approximately half a day in order to apply the slurry seal road surface treatment and to provide sufficient time for it to adhere to the road surface. Residents will be notified prior to any construction activities. No Parking” signs will be posted the day before actual application. Emergency vehicles will have access at all times. Utility adjustments may be necessary in support of the project. Although unlikely, real property transactions may be necessary in support of this project.
