Background
Several Task Forces have been established with the NCDOT in response to various articles
of Senate Bill 111, House Bill 133, and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) pertaining -to the usage of recycled and solid waste materials in highway construction
and maintenance operations. None of these groups, however, has the direct responsibility of
providing consistent direction for one of Senate Bill 111 requirements "... encourage the
development of the state's recycling industry by promoting the successful development of
markets for recycled goods." To address this issue, the Department established the
"Recycled Products and Solid Waste Utilization Task Force" in a September 30, 1992 memorandum
to prospective Task Force members.
Purpose
The purpose of the Task Force is to act as a central point of contact for various agencies,
municipalities, or industries which have specific proposals to use recycled or solid waste
materials in highway construction or maintenance operations. The general responsibility of
the Task Force will be as follows:
NC DOT
NC DOH
NC GOV
