For Customer 18 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are sharing how a major Midwestern steel mill partnered with Midwest to manage environmental risks during a massive $700 million expansion project. Through our EnviroKleen® managed service program, they achieved over 90% season-long dust control and flawless regulatory compliance.

The Challenge
A leading steel facility was embarking on a massive $700 million expansion to increase production capacity by over 40 percent. This capital project brought an unprecedented surge in heavy construction traffic, shipping, and receiving.
Operating under strict state EPA Title V air permits, the mill needed a robust dust control strategy. Previously, they had used petroleum emulsions but found them too messy, while their temporary transition to a commodity glycerin watering program was yielding poor results. This left them highly vulnerable to compliance risks just as site traffic was about to peak.

The Solution
To safeguard their expansion and guarantee compliance, the mill transitioned to a comprehensive EnviroKleen® Turnkey Managed Services Program. Rather than just purchasing a product, the client relied on a dedicated, on-site Midwest team to manage the entire process, including continuous monitoring, precise data gathering, and expert application.

To back our performance with hard science, certified observers conducted periodic silt load testing and Instantaneous Visual Emission Observations (IVEO) to measure opacity and provide credible, auditable compliance data.

The Result
The shift to a scientifically managed EnviroKleen program delivered outstanding environmental and operational outcomes during a period of peak facility stress:

• 📈 90%+ Dust Control: The program achieved an incredible greater than 89% reduction in airborne particulate matter, maintaining a season-long calculated control level exceeding 90%.
• Guaranteed Compliance: Treated areas maintained less than 15% instantaneous opacity, keeping the mill fully compliant with their strict Title V permit.
• 95% Confidence Level: Our systematic application frequency proved a 95% confidence level in continuous, uninterrupted dust control.
• Clean Site Conditions: EnviroKleen kept the site clean and stable with zero runoff risk to the facility's retention ponds.

A massive expansion should not mean expanding your environmental risk. By partnering with Midwest, this steel leader proved that with the right science and a fully managed service, you can scale operations rapidly while keeping emissions low.

On , we are looking beyond the major paved hubs to celebrate the critical unpaved lifelines keeping remote and rural areas connected to essential goods, emergency medical care, and economic opportunities.

To keep these vital connections open year-round, runway reliability is everything. That’s why we developed the SECUR® Gravel Runway Stabilization System.

Powered by our patented EK35® technology, SECUR® works through advanced chemical bonding, physical adhesion, and cohesion to:
• Eliminate FOD (Foreign Object Debris) to protect aircraft propellers and turbines.
• Maximize CBR (California Bearing Ratio) load-bearing capacity for heavier aircraft.
• Ensure freeze-thaw stability in the most extreme, remote climates.
• Drastically reduce routine maintenance and costly re-grading.

When remote runways are stable, communities thrive. We want to hear from the pilots, operators, and community leaders who rely on these runways every day: How has a reliable runway impacted your operations or community? Let us know in the comments!

For Customer 19 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are highlighting how a customized, multi-product dust control program can optimize performance across different operational zones while ensuring seamless environmental compliance.

The Challenge
A major client operating active coil and scrap yards needed a highly reliable system to manage dust generated by a diverse fleet of heavy vehicles. While our industry-leading Soil-Sement® was already providing excellent, reliable dust control in key areas of their facility, their scrap yard was undergoing operational shifts. The constant, extreme scraping and turning of heavy tracked equipment meant this specific zone required an even more specialized, high-durability binding agent. At the same time, they needed a separate, low-maintenance solution for their busy shop and foot-traffic areas.

The Solution
Rather than relying on a single product for two very different environments, Midwest customized a zoned, multi-product program. We upgraded their heavy-traffic scrap yard to Road Pro®, our advanced asphalt emulsion engineered specifically to withstand aggressive, heavy-duty industrial traffic. For their shop areas and foot-traffic zones, we implemented EK2800® to maintain a clean, safe, and stable surface.

To make the program entirely hassle-free, our Midwest team provides a complete, turnkey service—expertly applying the products on a weekly schedule from April through October.

The Result
The transition to a tailored, multi-product strategy and reliable turnkey service delivered excellent outcomes:
•. Optimized Product Matching: Pairing Road Pro for extreme-traffic scrap zones and EK2800 for lighter shop zones ensured maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness across the entire site.
•. Reliable Turnkey Service: Our weekly managed applications allow the client’s team to focus entirely on their core operations while we take complete ownership of their site conditions.
•. EPA Compliance Support: We go beyond application by conducting and providing Visual Emission (VE) readings, offering the client complete confidence and documentation for regulatory compliance.

Dust control isn't just about selling a great product; it’s about engineering the right combination of solutions to fit a facility's exact operational footprint.
