This Concrete Learning Forum focuses on the critical role of air quality and stormwater regulations in shaping concrete production and construction practices across North Carolina. As environmental oversight continues to evolve, project teams must understand how emissions controls, permitting requirements, and stormwater management standards impact both plant operations and jobsite execution. This program will explore regulatory frameworks, compliance strategies, and emerging innovations that support environmental responsibility while maintaining performance and efficiency. Attendees will gain practical insight into how proactive planning and collaboration can reduce risk, ensure compliance, and support sustainable concrete construction throughout the state.
