The following excerpt is from NAPA'S January/February 2002 Hot Mix Asphalt
Technology Magazine.
 "Commercial
Asphalt Co.'s Plant No. 909, located in Blaine, Minnesota, is the winner of
NAPA's Ecological Award for a New HMA Facility. The company situated its plant
on a 33-acre site in a newly developing industrial area, which included areas of
detached upland and several wetlands.
Through a process of wetland mitigation, the company created 17 acres of
contiguous upland, using it for the plant, stockpile areas, and building. Many
of the wetland areas were left untouched, and some of the created wetlands treat
storm water.
The plant is a counter-flow design with a blue smoke capturing system, and uses
an odor reducing solution for additional odor reduction. To alleviate noise, the
plant has an emerged total air burner and all air solenoids are equipped with
exhaust mufflers. The company minimizes dust by hard surfacing all the plant,
parking, and traffic areas.
A new 4,200-sq.-ft. design laboratory and quality control building built near
the street serves as a buffer between the driving public and the HMA Plant. The
building gives the site a "light industry" look.
