I'm not so worried about the finished product. My worry is the people who are hired to a) contain the material, b) transport the material, c) release the material to the property where the work will be done and d) directly work with the material to create the roadway once it's been dropped off at its location.

This is going to be insanely costly, and if employees are informed of the risks, it's possible they might not be willing to do the work. If that happens, it's possible that they won't be informed of the risks, and then we'll have multi-million/billion-dollar class action suits on our hands if any of them end up with cancer as a result of direct contact with the dust or fumes while doing the work.

Not to mention - who's going to be wearing full hazmat gear for several hours per day in the grueling hot Florida sun to do this work? It's not something you can just wear gloves for.
