Working with the state's environmental agency, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality, TxDOT developed a process for contractors and material
suppliers to:
- Ensure compliance with existing state and federal environmental statutes.
- Document the use of recycled materials in construction and maintenance
projects.
- Ensure that recycled materials pose no threat to human health or the
environment, without holding them to standards above those of our traditional
materials.
- Assure that this process is consistent.
Item 6,
Control of Materials
[pdf, 3 pages, 22kb] in the 2004 TxDOT standard
specifications, states in Section 6.9, “Recycled Materials,” that non-hazardous
recyclable materials (NRMs) may be used unless disallowed or restricted by the
Specification for the Item.”
Contractors use one or more of the following forms to certify that the NRMs are
used in accordance with
DMS-11000 Evaluating and Using Non-Hazardous Recyclable
Materials Guidelines:
