Yes. ASTM C-977, Standard Specification for Quicklime and Hydrated Lime for Soil Stabilization, allows for the use of dolomitic lime. Both material are effective for soil drying, modification (plasticity reduction) and stabilization. Certain basic chemical and physical differences exist between high calcium lime and dolomitic lime that may affect lime-soil reactivity.
