SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

invention has non-government coinventors and this announcement 

pertains only to the licensing of the 

Federal Government’s rights, not to the 

rights of the non-government inventors. 

The technology claimed in this patent 

application improves a soil’s resistance 

to deformation, prevents complete 

rewetting of the soil which improves 

freeze-thaw resistance and durability, 

and reduces fugitive dust. This method 

of stabilization provides for immediate 

use with no curing time necessary and 

is particularly effective in extreme cold 

climates with sandy, gravelly soils 

where emulsions and hydraulic cements 

will not effectively cure. If damaged due 

to extreme traffic loads or numbers, the 

system may be reworked and recompacted with no loss in effectiveness. 

It has been demonstrated to provide 

cost-savings in remote locations where 

importation of crushed aggregate to 

construct pavement is costly and 

impractical.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
