support industrial activities. The department or the department's contractor shall use

stabilization methods to reduce significant differential settling of the waste. The

department or the department's contractor shall continually grade and compact the

waste site, and design surface contours to minimize water run -off, until the site is

stable, final grading is complete, and the site is ready for building to begin on an

industrial park.

(3) If a waste site is owned by the state, the state shall deed in fee simple the area used

as a waste site to an interested city, c ounty, or other governmental agency upon

completion of the highway project after the final pay estimate has been processed.

(4) The department shall consult with the appropriate elected officials affected by new

routes proposed to be constructed in the six (6) year road plan. The department shall

consult with the appropriate elected officials to identify waste sites along the

proposed new routes that may be potential industrial park sites.
