§ 10.1-1425.8. Department of Transportation; authority and duty.

The Department of Transportation is authorized to conduct recycling research projects, including the establishment of demonstration projects which use recycled products in highway construction and maintenance. Such projects may include by way of example and not by limitation the use of ground rubber from used tires or glass for road surfacing, resurfacing and sub-base materials, as well as the use of plastic or mixed plastic materials for ground or guard rail posts, right-of-way fence posts and sign supports.

The Department of Transportation shall periodically review and revise its bid procedures and specifications to encourage the use of products and materials with recycled content in its construction and maintenance programs.

The Department of Transportation with the cooperation of the Department of Environmental Quality shall conduct a demonstration project provide, at one of the Department of Transportation's maintenance area offices in the County of Bath in localities where no commercial facilities for the collection of used motor oil and used motor vehicle antifreeze exist, subject to such conditions as may be determined by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner, for the collection of used motor oil and motor vehicle antifreeze from the general public. The used motor oil and motor vehicle antifreeze that are collected shall be recycled or otherwise disposed of in accordance with programs and plans developed by the Department of Environmental Quality under § 10.1-1425.6. Funds for this project will be provided from the selected county's Secondary Road construction allocations, not to exceed $20,000 annually. This demonstration project will run from July 1, 1993, to June 30, 1995. The Department of Transportation, with the cooperation of the Department of Environmental Quality, shall survey the counties, cities and towns of the Commonwealth to determine in which localities no commercial facility for the collection of used motor oil and motor vehicle antifreeze exists. The study will be completed and results reported to the 1995 Session of the General Assembly.
