    Hiring a contractor? Do-it-yourself?

    Dont use coal tar to seal your driveway or parking lot. Its the law, and its for the protection of our waterways and health.

    DC LAW $2,500 FINE PER DAY ENFORCEMENT IS UNDERWAY


    Effective July 1, 2009, it is illegal to sell, use, or permit the use of coal tar pavement products on property in the District. Coal tar pavement products are used to seal driveways, parking lots, and playgrounds. They contain high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are highly toxic chemicals that are suspected to cause cancer and are known to harm humans, animals, and aquatic life. PAH-containing particles from sealants wear off paved surfaces and can be washed into local waterways by rainwater or tracked into homes. Ask your contractor for less toxic asphalt-based sealants.
