What is a State of the Art Workplace

Building are handicap accessible• Both buildings are OSHA compliant, which

includes: state of the art fire suppression and response systems, eye wash and first aid stations, emergency access and egress areas

Why a State of the ArtRail Facility

• A single railcar can carry 100 tons of waste versus only 22 tons per long-haul truck

• Air pollution caused by trucks is nearly five times that for rail transport

• Truck accidents per ton-mile occur as much as 30 times more than rail transport accidents

• Isolated from the local community

Page 11: Westside Transload

New Federal Law

• In October, President George W. Bush signed legislation that included language from the "Clean Railroads Act of 2008"

• This requires solid waste facilities along railroad tracks to meet state and local guidelines for environmental protection, health and safety

• Westside Transload is the first facility in NJ to comply with these new regulations
