Heavy	1 to 60	43	.54	2,600	1.0	Pass	5/8-1
Moderate	1 to 80	32	.54	2,600	.75	Pass	5/8-1
Light	1 to 100	26	.54	2,600	.75	Pass	5/8-1
Light	1 to 150	17	.54	2,600	.50	Pass	5/8-1

Notes

1. Topical application rates shown are to obtain 1/2 to 1 inch of penetration. Higher applications rates should be used if greater penetration is needed. Windrow rate shown is to give sufficient penetration to form a 4-6 inch thick temporary travel surface.

2. The dilution ratio (concentrate: water) is variable, and shall be appropriate for the intended use, and local soil and weather conditions, as proposed by the Contractor and agreed upon by the Control Officer.

3. Application rate of mixed solution at the typical dilution ratio. First application follows removal of the windrow. Second application follows replacement of the windrow. Third application, if needed follows the second application.
