That material went by the name of "Easy-base", IIRC - at least on instance of the material. It was intended to be the base material for roads and then covered with asphalt. I am familiar with one use of the material to construct golf cart paths (not covered with anything). This didn't work out well and the golf cart paths had to be removed. I am not aware of the current status of this material.

Before everyone panics, does anyone really think that EPA would allow dangerous materials to be used?
Oh well, this makes for a great discussion.
"...that will allow new roads in the state to be built with “radioactive” mining waste that has been linked to cancer." I wonder if this will cause health issues equal to or any more than the water we drink, sodas, alcohol, preservatives in our food, construction materials, automotive fuels, plastics used as food containers, etc. Seems to me that folks are living longer than ever, which many exceeding a hundred years. Surprising how anyone lives as long as they do with all this STRESS they contend with.
