The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) has announced the winners of its Environmental Excellence Awards and Environmental Leadership Award. The Excellence Awards recognise operations that demonstrate a commitment to the exemplary use of environmental controls and systems.
NSSGA celebrated the 11 Gold, 20 Silver and 56 Bronze environmental winners during the first general session of the 2025 Legislative & Policy Forum. Granite Construction Inc.’s Solari Aggregate Facility was announced as the 2025 Environmental Platinum winner, the top-scoring award.
“Congratulations to all of NSSGA’s Environmental Award winners for continuing to protect the environment, while producing aggregate materials sustainably and efficiently,” said NSSGA Interim CEO Michele Stanley. “Our members’ efforts to be good environmental stewards help to advance our industry and its impact across the country.”
Additionally, Brian North of Martin Marietta was named the 2025 Environmental Leadership Award Winner.
