Book Description

Publication Date: September 2004

This book is designed to help you understand our aggregate resources—their importance, where they come from, how they are processed for our use, the environmental concerns related to their mining and processing, how those concerns are addressed, and the policies and regulations designed to safeguard workers, neighbors, and the environment from the negative impacts of aggregate mining. We hope this understanding will help prepare you to be involved in decisions that need to be made—individually and as a society—to be good stewards of our aggregate resources and our living planet.
