This project was funded by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (Vtrans) and the UVM

Transportation Research Center (UVM TRC). The authors would like to acknowledge Dr.

Dewoolkar and his students: Mark Suozzo, Ian Anderson, Lalita Oka and Jaron Borg for

their help during the eld visits and in the lab. In addition, we acknowledge Dylan Burns

for providing the equipment for the evaporation experiments and Floyd Vilmont for his help

in manufacturing the water-retention cells and overall input in the mechanical issues of this

project. Finally, the authors wish to thank Vtrans and especially Jenier Fitch, Jason

Trembley, Philip Dessureau, Thomas Eliassen and William Ahearn for providing data and

their valuable cooperation through the course of this project.
