Environmental Compliance

I have known RMA (and Doug Ruhlin) for over 12 years, working closely with him at NRMCA. He has always been a great spokesman and friend of our industry. Through the association, he works tirelessly to provide excellent programs and tools for our industry. His desire to see our industry move forward and grow has been an integral part of driving the Operations, Environment & Safety Committee within NRMCA. Recently we contracted with RMAon a time-sensitive project, they were able to meet our needs with quality service. Their knowledge of our industry and quick feel for our company made for a very smooth project. RMA understands the challenges our industry faces and helps provide effective solutions. I highly recommend RMA and we will definitely use them as future needs arise.

I first met Doug of RMA in 2002 when I attended an environmental course he developed for the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Doug’s ability to effectively communicate and explain the voluminous environmental regulations pertaining to the concrete industry is remarkable. He is truly a gifted speaker and teacher. If you are new to the industry or the environmental field, I strongly recommend participating in Doug’s courses. Since then, we’ve worked together on several projects including an NPDES permitting, and most recently, further development of the Green-Star EMS Program at NRMCA. Doug’s passion, experience, and insight are always welcomed assets on any environmental project.

I have been working with Doug over the last year. His help to support the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) Program and students is phenomenal. His expertise in the field of Environmental/sustainability is phenomenal. His training ability is exceptional. My students were attached to him from day 1. I would like to thank him greatlye for what he did and has been doing to our program.

I have known RMA for many years and I greatly respect their knowledge. They've served on concrete industry committees in leadership roles and have helped develop and professionalize the concrete industry's body of knowledge with regard to environmental management and compliance. The Tennessee Concrete Association hired Doug Ruhlin of RMA to help with a revision to our NPDES Stormwater Management Plan when our statewide permit was last revised. Doug (and RMA's) work was excellent and I am happy to recommend them to others.
