October 2009 Eugene Wins Statewide Sustainability Award for Use of 55,000 Tons of Warm Mix Asphalt The City of Eugene, Oregon received the 2009 Julian Prize for Sustainability for its use of warm-mix asphalt to repair streets. The award, which included a certificate for a tree to be planted in Eugene in recognition of the accomplishment, was presented at the fall conference of the Oregon Chapter of the American Public Works Association in Grand Ronde. City staff had long been intrigued by warm-mix asphalt for its multiple benefits of reduced energy requirements, lower emissions, greater adaptability to recycled materials, and enhanced pavement life. Working with the Asphalt Pavement Association of Oregon and resources at the Texas Department of Transportation, staff developed a unique specification for use on city projects. A pilot project was implemented on the paving of Roosevelt Boulevard last spring, and the results were so encouraging that staff expanded the option to use warm mix on most of this year's paving repair projects. Producers and contractors also saw great benefits in the use of warm mix, and chose to use it on a total of 14 city paving projects, laying a total of 55,000 tons. Staff calculated that this reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 190 metric tons. "Through research, cooperation with industry groups and a willingness to step outside of the box, the City of Eugene was able to work with local contractors and asphalt concrete producers to bring a new more sustainable paving product to market in the Eugene-Springfield area," says Matt Rodriguez, manager of the city's pavement preservation program. "And through the success of the warm-mix implementation in Eugene, we have set the groundwork for expanded use of the product around the state."

WATCH THIS: NAPA President Briefs Congress On Sustainable Asphalt Technology, NAPA President Mike Acott testified to Congress on Sustainable Asphalt Technology, www.hotmix.org Sustainability Report Gets the Word Out NAPA has released a major new publication, the asphalt pavement industry's first-ever sustainability report. Entitled Black and Green: Sustainable Asphalt, Now and Tomorrow, the report highlights the ways in which the asphalt industry's everyday practices address climate change, improve air quality and water quality, provide green jobs, and reduce the carbon footprint of pavements. The 12-page report can be downloaded from www.hotmix.org/sustainability. Asphalt Takes the LEED!! Asphalt Pavements & LEED Certification
Environmental sustainability is a new way of doing business and truly changing Colorado’s construction landscape. A central factor that is contributing to the greening of Colorado is governmental entities requiring LEED certification for new buildings and major renovations. In response, the asphalt industry is working diligently to advance sustainability concepts and be a vital element of LEED certification and building green. Read more click here.
LEED Credit for Asphalt Pavement Tables have been developed to show for the different LEED programs the potential credits attainable by using asphalt pavements. Each table provides the rating category, credit description, available points, and a discussion of the applicability/contribution that asphalt pavements have in attaining credits. This information has been provided for a variety pf LEED programs. The tables can be downloaded from the Resources section of the CAPA website.

Several communities throughout the country have voiced concern over the issue of stormwater runoff from asphalt lots and RAP. Some of this concern likely stems from newspaper articles in the last six months that identified potential problems with stormwater runoff from lots sealed with coal tar. NAPA has developed Special Report on Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement: Stockpile Emissions and Leachate (SR-190). For more information or a copy of this publication contact the CAPA office at 303-741-6150. HMA Production Facility Environmental Fact Sheet A newly revised version of the proposed General Permit for HMA Plants in Colorado has been developed by the Air Pollution Control Division of the Department of Public Health and Environment. The new version of the Draft General Permit contains a number of changes requested by industry through CAPA. Please review and contact Jamie Gaboriau at Jamie.Gaboriau@aggregate-us.com or Tom Peterson at tompeterson@co-asphalt.com if you have any comments.

January 2006 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS FOR HMA PLANTS DESCRIBED IN "FACT SHEET" It is sometimes challenging to answer the questions and concerns that citizens and planning commissions have regarding hot mix asphalt production facilities. To address this, CAPA is partnering with the Colorado Department of Public Health - Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) to develop a straight forward document that explains the permitting process and how our industry is regulated. A revised version of the HMA Plant Fact Sheet has been developed and can be reviewed from the CAPA website. Comments should be addressed to either Tom Peterson at tompeterson@co-asphalt.com or to Jamie Gaboriau at jamie.gaboriau@aggregate.com. The development of a General Permit for HMA Production Facilities in Colorado is near complete!! A proposed final version has been developed and has been submitted to CAPA for review prior to a 30 day public comment period. The use of the permit is expected to reduce the time and cost of permitting asphalt plants in Colorado and streamline the permitting process. The final version [GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PERMIT – Hot Mix Asphalt Production Facilities] is posted on the CAPA website and available for comment. The permit allows for the following production levels: - Production shall not exceed 650 tons/hour and 750,000 tons/year Air Pollution Control Division The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has established websites for a number of industries in Colorado. One of them is the hot mix asphalt industry, click below to launch to the CDHPE website to view information regarding the hot mix asphalt industry, click here.

companion brochure. In announcing the new publications, NAPA President Mike Acott commented, “For decades, the asphalt pavement industry has been proactive in reducing the impact of its operations on the environment. The new report discusses some of the products we have developed – warm-mix asphalt, reuse/recycling, porous asphalt, and Perpetual Pavements – and shows how an accelerated deployment program could lead to even greater achievements.”
