When it comes to concrete plants, whether it’s a ready-mix operation, precast concrete plant, brick, block, pipe plant, you name it, one of the most common problems producers have to deal with is stormwater permits. Concrete plants of all shapes and sizes across the US often struggle with their NPDES stormwater discharge permits. How come?

The issue of TRI Reporting, or Toxic Release Inventory Reporting, or Form R Reporting, or whatever you want to call it, is becoming a very, very serious issue for the concrete industry.
It's become so serious that we've been getting a lot of concrete producers asking us about TRI reporting at concrete plants, and I'll say the same thing I always say to them. If you run a concrete operation, whether it's ready mix or precast concrete, you need to look into TRI Reporting ASAP.

This last year has been a pretty harsh one in terms of TRI Reporting at concrete plants. The USEPA, in part of a multi-year effort, is cracking down on industrial facilities all over the United States, especially those that they think should be conducting TRI Reporting. One industry that's getting hit hard (relatively speaking) is the concrete industry. Precast concrete plants, ready mixed plants, brick, block, and other concrete plants are all under the gun when it comes to TRI Reporting.
