Environmental considerations

In June, 2007, LSI was achieved Gold Level certification by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for their participation in the he Clean Texas program. To obtain material for the construction of SH 130, LSI negotiated to recycle the asphalt runways at the retired Mueller Airport in Austin, Texas, reducing the amount of virgin material needed for the project by over 250,000 tons and reducing the amount of material sent to a landfill.
