MITIGATING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Consideration of both current and potential environmental challenges is an integral part of the mining life cycle. We are proud of the performance of our environmental planning and management.
AS WE STRIVE TO MITIGATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AT OUR MINE SITES, WE ALSO HAVE ONGOING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS TO MEET FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL STANDARDS – AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS RISK MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION:
¡ water treatment – water from site operations is treated to meet or exceed governmental regulations and permit approvals
¡ sewage management systems – systems are in place to reduce our long-term environmental footprint in accordance with the industry’s best practices
¡ energy consumption – all sites track energy costs on a monthly basis, with a focus on reducing energy usage intensity year-over-year
¡ recycling – various recycling initiatives are in place across our operations to improve resource use
¡ air emissions – all facilities use dust-suppression methods on roads, crushers, and conveyors to protect air quality
