MEETING GOAL

The goal of this workshop is to harness all of the existing resources and knowledge that is currently available on liquid asphalt releases, then to discuss & determine the research gaps in:
1) characteristics, fate, behavior & modleing of liquid asphalt,
2) effects of asphalt,
3) mitigation techniques for spilled asphalt, and
4) detection and recovery of liquid asphalt releases.

A final report will be produced.
