Larry, > A water based asphalt... idiots!
Actually, having worked on getting our own road paved it seems that asphalt is often called an oil-based concrete product... So you could certainly see referring to concrete as a water-based asphalt. There's a very good water-based paving product getting wider use recently, and we've considered whether or not to use it in our own area. It looks like compacted soil and wears like asphalt. When it deteriorates (as all pavement does) you don't have to scrape it off and haul it somewhere else to be 'reprocessed'. Instead, you can actually bust it up in place and create the new surface with it again. Repairs can actually be done with a roto-tiller and a small roller. This means neighborhoods and property owners could actually do their own repairs. Plus, it is not toxic. The majority of the water in our area comes from wells, and there's nothing wrong with making sure the stuff the roads are paved with is non-toxic to the water supply. We have 20 acres and are planning to use a material called 'polypavement' for our trails. They keep washing out, and this would help them stay in place without having to bring a bunch of asphalt into our woodlands.
