What measures do we use to keep the environment clean?
-
Recycled Asphalt
We recycle old asphalt paving right on our site, grinding it and reusing it in the making of our new asphalt for roads, driveways and parking lots. We keep this old product from ending up in landfills, reduce the need for foreign oil and additional mining operations, and we reduce the number of trucks on the road.
-
Water Fog Spray
Why? Dust control.
We lightly spray water on materials as they transfer between conveyors, screens and other loading operations. We also spray down the storage piles of our raw materials. -
Water Trucks
Water trucks spray down all unpaved haul roads.
-
Natural Gas
We use cleaner natural gas in the aggregate drying process.
-
Blue Smoke Control System
We use the best available control technology on our asphalt oil storage tanks. We even vent the "loadout" to our blue smoke control system to better clean the air. The Butler-Justice Blue Smoke Control system has six stages of filtration and includes a proprietary filter control media developed exclusively for trapping oil droplets.
-
Tire Washing
Every truck leaving our facility drives through a tire washing station to keep nearby streets clean and minimize dust.
-
Street Sweeping
Although our permit only requires Escondido Asphalt to run a street sweeper in front of our facility 30' from the entrance and exit, we also use our street sweeper on adjacent streets to assure a clean neighborhood
-
Warm Mix Asphalt
Warm-mix asphalt processes can lower the temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. Reductions of 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit have been documented. Such drastic reductions can cut fuel consumption, decrease the production of greenhouse gases, and drastically reduce the production of emissions.
