Deadline Nears for Environmental Excellence Award Entries

NRMCA's Commitment to Environmental Excellence Awards competition offers producers national recognition for outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining sound management practice in their operations. The program salutes companies that have not only met, but surpassed governmental compliance measures and demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through plant and staff investment. Winning entrants will be honored at the Awards Luncheon at NRMCA‘s ConcreteWorks which will be held outside Las Vegas in September. Winners will also be featured in a 2013 edition of NRMCA’s Concrete InFocus magazine as well as Concrete Products magazine. All entries (winning & non winners) will receive a recognition certificate for participation in the award program.

Entries will be reviewed by a panel consisting of regulatory officials and industry and environmental consultants. Entries will be judged based on an electronic narrative covering 11 criteria. Judges depend heavily on electronic images of submitted plants to complete their evaluations. Participants are required to submit electronic images that clearly demonstrate environmental systems and processes, and at least one image that offers a broad view of the plant site. Judging will take place in early August and entries not using this format will not be judged. All entries must be received by Wednesday, July 31.
