interesting update on implementation of California\u2019s EPD program as well as lesson\u2019s learned.\u00a0 One of the lessons learned is that for asphalt mixes where additives make up a significant portion of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) chemical additive manufactures need to provide GWP information for the material\u2019s EPD.\u00a0 This will be a critically important issue as contractors compete to be in the top 20 percentile in carbon emission reduction in their project location.\u00a0 FHWAS has not posted a link yet to the newsletter, but the story can be found <a
