Breathing Easy with The Asphalt Production Industry
Asphalt Pavement Material Facilities (APM Facilities) APM facilities mix liquid asphalt binder
(asphalt cement) with crushed rock, gravel, and sand to create asphalt pavement. Asphalt
cement is also called bitumen. Asphalt production is necessary to maintain the road
systems throughout the US. In fact, over 90% of all roads in the US are paved with asphalt.
Locating asphalt production facilities in logistically strategic areas reduces distance that
materials have to travel from source to site, lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated
with product transport and allowing rapid response to the needs of communities that are
distant from urban or industrial areas. Proper and timely maintenance of roadways
decreases infrastructure costs for these communities as well as promoting more efficient
travel for all users of asphalt-paved roads.

close as 100 feet from an APM facility
