Reusable Cloth Masks for Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce

5/27/2020

 
​IAAP has been alerted that FEMA is providing reusable cloth masks to the essential critical infrastructure workforce. The State of Illinois requires employers to provide face coverings for all employees that may come within six feet of others.  The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) will coordinate the mask distribution to workers that are in need of facial cloth masks as a safeguard during their daily work.
 
If your company is interested in receiving cloth masks, complete the survey at the link below. Once needs are identified, IEMA will work with the companies to distribute the masks.
 
PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY BY FRIDAY, MAY 29TH 12PM.
 
SURVEY LINK:

If you have any questions, contact Edie Casella at 217.494.7986 or edie.casella@illinois.gov

Focus Topic: Mining companies can use sustainable solar energy

5/26/2020

 
Picture
It's summer and construction season is here, which means high electricity bills from crushing, screening, washing and other mining activities. It’s also a good time to think about the benefits of solar for mining companies exploring ways to trim costs or become more sustainable.  That’s why the IAAP’s Sustainability Committee wants to help educate member companies about the benefits of solar energy.

Energy is a major expense for mining. Converting the sun’s bountiful energy is a great opportunity. Follow the link below and learn the key factors mining companies and other industries should think about when considering to install solar.

BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY
 
We began this endeavor during the IAAP convention in March where member companies like Thelen Sand & Gravel and Tuscola Stone explained how they are taking advantage of solar energy production on their mine sites. (Download the presentation)  And member companies Tick Tock Energy and Borrego Solar Systems can help you utilize solar energy on your properties.

USEPA Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP) for Storm Water - Proposed Changes for 2020

5/20/2020

 
The U.S. EPA has released its proposed Multi-Sector General Permit for stormwater discharges.  It is very likely to affect the Illinois General Industrial Storm Water (ILR00) Permits that apply to crushers and perhaps CCDD sites.  The current Illinois EPA General Storm Water (ILR00) Permit is modeled after this federal permit.  The proposed changes, if authorized, are VERY likely to find their way to the Illinois EPA General Industrial Storm Water (ILR00) Permit at its next renewal in 2022.
