The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) announced the recipients of its Environmental Excellence Awards and the winner of the 2023 Environmental Leadership Award.
The Excellence Awards recognise operations demonstrating a commitment to environmental controls and systems. NSSGA recognised 10 Gold, 11 Silver and 84 Bronze winners during the first session of the 2023 Legislative & Policy Forum held 24-27 September in Washington, DC.
“All NSSGA members are responsible environmental stewards of the land they operate on,” said NSSGA President & CEO Michael Johnson. “The environmental awards create an annual forum to showcase companies’ innovative practices within the environmental sector. Each year, the bar gets set higher by the award winners, and I thank each of them for their contributions in making the entire industry better.”
Additionally, Kurt Blase was recognised as the 2023 Environmental Leadership Winner. He was lauded for his career of enforcing reasonable federal standards for the industry since 1994. Blase also worked with NSSGA to mitigate unreasonable standards in the Clean Air Act. His expertise with these regulations has been vital to aggregate producers’ everyday success.
