The Environmental Award Program for the South Carolina Aggregates Association is designed to recognize those facilities making outstanding efforts towards compliance, the environment, and positive impacts to the surrounding community.
Participants are encouraged to provide details and explanations where requested so that a full understanding of their efforts may be taken into account. A picture is worth a thousand words...so be sure to include them!
Each question within the application will have a maximum number of points available to be awarded. A panel of judges will review the applicant responses and assign a value based upon how well the facility met the criteria for the question. Partial or full credit for each question may be awarded based upon the response. There will be a total of 180 points available. The total scores of all the facilities will be compared and the top three (3) will be awarded: GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE
