Was this the meeting that you are talking about?
Paving: Dennis said the committee met with contractors and is incorporating their comments into the
draft paving plan, which should be available to the Board by the first week of January. It will be put
out for bid after the General Manager and Board of Directors have reviewed and approved the plan.
The committee explored the possibility of using enzyme products as stabilizers as described in X-Zyme
Corporation's brochure. Dennis said a concern is that cinder may be too porous to be compatible unless
soil is added to the road base. The vendor has offered a test sample, which Dennis suggested be used
on a bicycle path.
Suzanne said they have been successful on the Mainland, although shipping costs may be prohibitive,
since it is a liquid product.

"....roughly quoted at $50,000 per mile including prep."
When I look at pictures of the example of completed roads they really don't look that sturdy and could they really handle the Rains that Puna gets.
