Corporate Environmental Responsibility

Impact Statement – Mining is an important industry that is essential in providing the building materials used in our homes and businesses and our transportation and utility infrastructure. The key to ensuring competitive access to such building materials is limiting the distance that materials need to be transported. Limited access to competitively priced building materials results in spill over community impacts like limited access to affordable housing and higher taxes required to maintain the transportation infrastructure. We strive to operate our mines in close proximity to the customers requiring our products. In order to do that successfully, we are vigilant in ensuring that we mitigate the impact of mining on those who work and live in close proximity to our mines. WE coordinate closely with our communities, local and state governments to assure that we are operating our mines in accordance with governmental rules, regulations and industrial best practices. As a green conscious company we utilize recycled products such as fly ash from coal burning plants and slag from steel mills that would otherwise be placed in landfills.  We use ASTM standards for recycling waste concrete and left-over fresh concrete. We recycle asphalt to reduce the consumption of oil and mining aggregate in an effort to mitigate the carbon intensity of our asphalt products.

Mission – To respect the unique and fragile biodiversity of every ecosystem by minimizing the impact when mining and extracting natural resources.

Vision – To responsibly mine and re-purpose the land to promote biodiversity to benefit future generations of plant and animal life.

Values – To reuse and recycle aggregate-derived building materials and construction site natural earthen materials wherever possible in an effort to reduce resource extractions from our mines and to further avoid the unnecessary landfilling of such materials.
