Alcoa′s Sandow Mine Receives OSM 2012 Excellence in Surface Mining Award

27.07.2012  |  Business Wire


Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced today that its Sandow Mine in Rockdale, Texas
received the 'Good Neighbor Award? in the 2012 Excellence in Surface
Coal Mining Awards from Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and
Enforcement (OSM).


Alcoa was recognized for successfully working with the community while
conducting exemplary mining and reclamation at its Sandow Mine.


Community efforts focused on initiatives taken as part of Alcoa′s annual Green
Works
volunteering campaign. Alcoa Sandow Mine staff worked with
local Boy Scout troops and their leaders and the Milam County, Texas
Parks and Wildlife Game Warden to stock and relocate fish, plant trees
and assist with beekeeping activities at the mine.


In a letter congratulating Alcoa on the award, OSM Director Joseph G.
Pizarchik said, 'The enduring, on-the-ground results are a testament to
your achievement. I commend you for the high standards that you set.?


Alcoa′s Green Works campaign, an annual two-month global volunteering
initiative, was created to support the Company′s environmental programs
and celebrate international environmental holidays like Arbor Day, Earth
Day and World Environment Day. In 2012 nearly 20,000 Alcoa employees
around the world took part.


'The Green Works events demonstrate Alcoa′s commitment to the
sustainability of the natural resources found in the mine, as well as
showing excellent environmental stewardship,? said Alcoa Energy Manager
Tommy Hodges.


The Award will be formally presented to Alcoa at the MINExpo Convention
in Las Vegas, Nevada, September 24-26, 2012.
