You can download the presentation from the CalAPA website here. In addition, here are a few resources that may help you through the process:

If you are curious about the CalAPA Technical Advisory Committee Meetings, they are free meetings held at various locations throughout the state on a regular basis (usually once every 2 months) where people from all parts of the industry as well as government agencies can get together and share technical information and network. In my personal opinion this is one of the greatest features that CalAPA offers as it gives you an opportunity to learn about what's new in asphalt pavement as well as discuss any statewide issues that are occurring. I'd highly recommend attending a couple meetings to see what they can do for you and your business. You can learn more about these meetings from contacting CalAPA. Their website is http://www.calapa.net. In the meantime check out their technical committee page here where you can view various presentations and other information shared at some of these meetings.
