Sawdust used to stabilize landslide prone highway sections
A Washington experiment began in 1972 on U S High Way 101 south of Cosmopolis using sawdust fills to stabilize a 200 foot landslide site. After removing old pavement to 10 feet depth workers layered sawdust and melted asphalt to create a moisture barrier. Reports say the fill remained intact after 16 years and could be extended to other sites.
