 | | During the Rapid City, S.D. conference, Peterson and Korell attended sessions on bridge construction technology, asphalt preservation and recycling, small drainage structure management, new railroad crossing precautions and employee morale and retention. |
 | | According to Korell and Peterson, the traditional remedy is either a chip seal, which costs approximately $16,000 to $18,000 per mile, or an asphalt overlay, a process that costs $350,000 to $500,000 per mile. |
 | | However, while at the conference, Peterson and Korell attended a session on a new asphalt recycling technique, which uses the existing oil, mixed with a small amount of new oil, to lay the new roadway at a cost of only $70,000 per mile. |
