  • Description: <jats:p> Cold in-place recycling, cold central plant recycling, and full depth reclamation are cost-effective, environmentally conscious pavement rehabilitation or reconstruction techniques. Although these techniques are not new, they have not been widely adopted among state agencies. There has, however, been a recent resurgence in interest in these techniques. To date there are no national specification guidelines for these processes to assist in their widespread implementation, and those specifications that do exist often have a wide range of requirements. This paper presents the results of a review of state and local agency specifications for pavement recycling techniques and offers suggestions to help agencies achieve a better and longer-lasting product when specifying pavement recycling techniques. </jats:p>
