Concrete Washout Systems, Inc. Awarded The 2004 Pollution Prevention Award by The Business Environmental Resource Center (BERC)
CWS recognized for implementing a technological application based on outstanding pollution prevention efforts resulting in environmental protection.
Elk Grove, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) December 21, 2004 -- Concrete Washout Systems, Inc. (CWS), the
world’s premier concrete washout service company, announced today that it has
been recognized by the Sacramento Business Environmental Resource Center (BERC)
and awarded the 2004 Pollution Prevention Award (Technological Application) for
its development and implementation of the Concrete Washout Systems bin.
“We are very pleased that BERC has chosen us for its 2004 Pollution
Prevention Award based on our outstanding pollution prevention efforts in
reducing stormwater contamination by recycling both hazardous concrete washwater
and the solid concrete washout material. We have developed a product that not
only meets and exceeds Best Management Practices (BMPs) but has set the standard
for the industry as Best Available Technology,” stated Mark Jenkins, President
of Concrete Washout Systems, Inc. “We continue to devote a lot of our efforts in
educating the construction and erosion control industry professionals on the
potential impact of illegal concrete washwater discharges and how our product
and service can minimize their risk and exposure in a time when regulatory
officials have stepped up enforcement efforts,” added Mr. Jenkins.
The
patent pending CWS is a portable, self-contained and watertight bin that
controls, captures and contains concrete washout material and wastewater. It
allows trade personnel to easily washout concrete trucks, pumps and equipment on
site and facilitates easy off site recycling of the same concrete materials and
wastewater, while protecting the storm drain system from potential illegal
discharges. The off-site recycling component yet again creates an even more
environmentally sound application. This risk management system replaces other
outdated washout BMP’s, which are costly, unsightly and damaging to the
environment since their containment value diminishes, due to inherently faulty
material, over use and lack of maintenance.
