Green Star
The Salisbury Plant was recently notified that it has earned the prestigious Green Star Certification from the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), one of only 45 plants recognized nationally thus far.
The Green Star designation is earned after a rigorous review of the plant’s environmental management systems to ensure there is a formal and structured program in place to minimize/reduce possible pollution and to make the most efficient use of natural resources such as water and air and must include a process for continual monitoring and continuous improvement.
Processes and programs examined include the effective handling of process water and storm water discharges; water conservation, reuse and recycling; airborne process and fugitive emissions; vehicular emissions; fuel consumption; managing returned concrete; fuel and chemical use and community issues such as noise and aesthetic conditions.
The Salisbury employees along with Environmental Manager James Woody have all worked very hard to earn this recognition and are to be congratulated for this accomplishment.
