NRMCA has announced the winners of its 2017 Environmental Excellence Awards. Now in its 22nd year, the program offers NRMCA Producer members national recognition for outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining sound environmental management practices in their operations. The program salutes companies that have not only met, but surpassed governmental compliance requirements and demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through plant and staff investment. Entries were reviewed by a panel of judges based on electronic images with a written narrative covering 10 evaluation criteria, including site aesthetics, environmental documentation, training, water management, air quality management, returned concrete plan, community relations, concrete delivery and plant sustainability practices.
This year’s program provided awards in three categories based on geographical region in which the plant is located (Eastern, Central and Western U.S). The Environmental Excellence Awards program was co-sponsored by Concrete Products magazine. First Place winners were:
- Eastern Region - Aggregate Industries, Northeast Region, Inc. Waltham Plant, Waltham, MA
