With the <br />Montgomery Plant conversion, the company was able to realize cost savings while helping <br />the City of Montgomery control their landfill gas emissions. For its efforts, the Jenkins Brick <br />Company was awarded the Alabama Governor's Conservation Achievement Award for Air <br />Conservationist of the Year in 1999 and 2007 and LMOP's Project of the Year in 2006. <br />Jenkins Brick is committed to helping protect the environment. While incorporating the <br />landfill gas capability to the Jordan Plant added $4 million to its capital cost, the company <br />expects to realize significant savings in fuel costs as a result. Founded in the late 1800s, <br />Jenkins Brick Company manufactures and distributes brick and associated products, <br />employing approximately 500 people across the Southeast. Now in its fifth generation of <br />family-owned leadership, Jenkins Brick Company has operation facilities in Alabama, <br />Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. <br />Last Updated: 8/18/2008 <br /> <br />EPA Home ~ Privacy and Security Notice ~ Contact Us <br />Last updated on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 <br />URL: http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/jenkinsbrickjordanplantla.htm <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/jenkinsbrickjordanplantla.htm 6/8/2009 <br />
