Achievements & Awards<br />
2014 OHMPA TRILLIUM AWARD RECIPIENTS - The Ontario Hot Mix Producer (OHMPA) Trillium awards<br />
are presented to hot mix plants who demonstrate excellence in appearance, operations, environment, safety, permitting and compliance,<br />
community relations, and industry participation. In 2014, Miller Paving was presented recertification awards for all seven<br />
of the submitted plants which were judged according to our internal auditing process including a third-party reference, photographs,<br />
and a video. They include the CMI 150 Portable plant stationed in Gowganda during auditing, Pave-Al, EC King Chesley,<br />
North Bay (NFN), Timmins, Mosport, and Uxbridge. No other hot mix plants received the award in 2014.<br />
Currently, Miller has 23 of its Ontario plants <strong>with</strong> active Trillium certificates.<br />
Only six other plants other than Miller hold valid, up to date,<br />
Trillium status in Ontario. Since 2002, ninety three (93) asphalt plants<br />
in Ontario have been certified or re-certified to Trillium Status and<br />
Miller holds 54 of those awards. Since 2008 Miller has received 48 of<br />
the 66 total award certifications or recertifications that have been<br />
presented to industry producers by The Ontario Hot Mix Producers<br />
Association.<br />
The Miller Group takes great pride in<br />
the efficient operation of its plants and<br />
the dedication of its employees to the<br />
maintenance and appearance of its<br />
assets.<br />

Miller has never had any of our submissions denied because we continue to upgrade our assets in accordance <strong>with</strong> current Environmental<br />
requirements and test each of our operations for conformance to OHMPA “Best Practices” and Governmental Legislation.<br />
As plants must be certified every three years, Trillium Awards are an ongoing reminder of the standards which each operation<br />
must maintain as an integral part of The Miller Group’s internal audit process and commitment to safety, the environment, and<br />
the communities in which we live and operate. Congratulations to all our participants and to Brian Eyers for leading this initiative.<br />
Another great example of being “Only The Best.”<br />
