I commend the asphalt pavement industry in Wisconsin for setting leadership standards and highlighting model facilities. It is important that these hot mix asphalt facilities do everything possible to be good neighbors. The WAPA and WDNR Environmental Technology Transfer Team invited government units and non-government environmental groups to join a subcommittee that created the Wisconsin Hot Mix Asphalt Environmental Citizenship Program. It is this committee that developed the Hot Mix Asphalt Environmental Leadership Award. This award is part of an on going effort to improve the environmental and safety performance of all asphalt plants and to enhance their public image.
