Small Patch

A patch is an area where the original pavement has been removed and replaced by a filler material. For condition evaluation, patching is divided into two types: small (less than 5 ft^2 [0.5 m^2]) and large (over 5 ft^2 [0.5 m^2]). Large patches are described in the "Large Patch" section.

Severity	Distress Example	Description
Low		Patch is functioning well with little or no deterioration.
Medium		Patch where deterioration or moderate spalling, or both, can be seen around the edges. Patch material can be dislodged with considerable effort (minor FOD potential).
High		Patch where deterioration or moderate spalling, or both, can be seen around the edges. Patch material can be dislodged with considerable effort (minor FOD potential).
