Hazardous to Your Health (and Your Business):
Could EPA’s Proposed Coal Ash Regulations Threaten Transportation Projects Nationwide?
08/25/10
Coal ash is a strategic resource for many concrete transportation projects – improving concrete quality and reducing materials costs. But access to coal ash may be threatened by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposal to create more stringent regulations for coal ash disposal.
EPA has proposed to regulate coal ash as a hazardous “special waste” when destined for disposal. At the same time, they would continue to exempt it from regulation when used in concrete. This approach may create myriad unintended consequences for transportation builders—ranging from increased costs to potential legal liabilities for handling materials that are designated “hazardous” in other settings.
Led by coal ash recycling expert and public policy veteran John Ward, this webinar will give an in depth breakdown of the EPA’s proposal, explore potential complications for the transportation industry and provide information on how to effectively participate in the public comment process.
About the presenter: John N. Ward is President of John Ward Inc., a marketing and public affairs consultancy focusing on energy issues. He is a former chairman and long-time member of the Government Relations Committee of the American Coal Ash Association and is the founder of the grassroots coal ash recycling organization Citizens for Recycling First. John is a former board member and past president of the American Coal Council. He served on the National Coal Council as appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Energy.

The Stormwaters Are Rising: Troubling Trends For The Transportation Construction Industry
07/14/10
The United States Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of amending federal stormwater discharge regulations, which will directly impact existing environmental review and approval process required for transportation construction projects. A likely result of these proposed changes will be increased delays in the transportation planning process by unnecessarily complicating the permitting process and enacting federal numeric standards for transportation construction projects. This webinar will provide a practical analysis of these troubling trends as well as a discussion of possible solutions, such as state specific Best Management Practices and enacting flexible standards for transportation construction projects.

HedgeSmart for the Transportation Construction Industry
Cost: Free
We are proud to introduce and join FCStone in offering this FREE WEBINAR to our members.
Today’s energy markets are more volatile than ever, and this uncertainty makes managing costs and meeting budget and profit objectives a complex challenge. Our industry is exposed to the unpredictable commodity pricing of several energy inputs: liquid asphalt, diesel fuel, natural gas, and other fuels. Without an effective strategy for managing and controlling these costs, exposure to this market volatility can severely impact your company’s bottom line.
FCStone’s HedgeSmart Program is designed to assist our members by protecting against the risk of increasing energy input prices. FCStone will analyze each member’s situation, including types and volumes of commodities used, the purchasing locations, physical price histories, and purchasing practices employed. This information is used to determine which commodities and locations best match the physical price risk profile. FCStone helps companies manage and control their fuel budgets through the use of proven and conservative hedging strategies.
Join us for this FREE WEBINAR presented by FCStone Energy Risk Managers Jamey Holland and Jack Hunter. You will learn how a hedging strategy can be implemented to fix or cap prices for time periods from months to years. This webinar is appropriate for fuel users of all sizes, as hedging programs and strategies are available in custom volumes and time periods. (Participants will also receive a discounted price for an upcoming series of live seminars with FCStone.)
By managing the significant price risk associated with fuels, asphalt, and other input commodities, our members can gain a measure of certainty in an extremely uncertain energy market.

The ARTBA Young Executive Leadership Council (YELC) has created a new grass roots program to assemble "Go Teams" as on-call activists mobilized to support ARTBA initiatives and legislative issues. The "Go Team" program will be discussed with the YELC-ARTBA membership and recent YEDP grads during a lunch time Webinar scheduled for November 30 from 1230PM ET-130PM ET. The "Go Team" project will provide benefits to all ARTBA members and ensure the association's young leaders establish-and foster-long-term relationships with elected officials in support of the association's agenda. These relationships can be leveraged during critical policy and legislative debates. This member-run program will be administered by ARTBA YELC Chair Mark Compton, American Infrastructure and YELC Vice-Chair Chris Fronheiser, P.E. with AECOM.
