Founded in 2007 as a fundraising and environmental responsibility initiative, iYERP provides containers for businesses to collect throwaway metals like construction materials, junk cars or copper wire and will pick up the acceptable throwaway metals for recycling. The group raised $85,000 in donations in 2011, which was used to support scholarship grants at Boise State University, College of Idaho and Idaho State University. Grants also go to support local performing arts and the Instrument for Schools program.

iYERP founder “Action” Jackson thanked Thomas for his generosity, saying, “The most important part of this award was not the dollar amount. Idaho Sand & Gravel and John Thomas made a significant commitment to advancing environmental stewardship on an Idaho construction project while at the same time helping to advance our mission of academic excellence, performing arts and outdoor sporting for Idaho youth.”

iYERP is one of the fundraising arms of the John William Jackson Fund, a program set up in honor of Meridian’s own John Jackson, a member of the Boise National Soccer Team who died in a climbing accident in Central Asia. According to its website, “The John William Jackson Fund hopes to capture the enthusiasm, passion, contemplation and enterprise that John exhibited in his life and individual pursuits.”

Idaho Sand & Gravel remains on schedule to achieve substantial completion for Idaho Transportation Department’s (ITD) US-95 at the end of July despite extremely wet and windy weather conditions this spring. US-95 was originally bid with hot mix asphalt, but ITD approved a change order allowing Idaho Sand & Gravel to use WMA instead. US-95 is the second major highway in Idaho that features WMA. Idaho Sand & Gravel also completed the state’s first WMA project. Idaho Sand & Gravel expects to capture the quality control and smoothness incentives for the 64,450 tons of warm mix asphalt they have placed.

When Staker Parson approached the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) about incorporating WMA on the I-15 CORE project, they agreed to let Staker Parson Companies use WMA for a small percentage of the asphalt. Project manager Brandon LeFevre reports that Staker Parson has achieved all the quality control and density incentives at a rate that exceeds historical levels achieved for traditional hot mix asphalt. Because of the success of using WMA, UDOT agreed to let Staker Parson incorporate even more WMA, and 160,000 of the tons placed to-date are WMA. Staker Parson has now equipped three of its hot plants in Salt Lake County with WMA capabilities.

“I’m very encouraged by the results of using WMA,” says LeFevre.  “We’re hopeful that owners and agencies will continue to develop permissive specifications that allow the use of new WMA technology in place of conventional hot mix asphalt. This continued advancement of WMA will surely lead to benefits for companies, customers, the environment and the community.”
