These interns participated in a structured internship program designed to introduce students to the opportunities available in the highway construction industry. The goal of the program is to demonstrate, and instill, leadership qualities and to develop relationships to last a lifetime. Interns are selected through a formal hiring process designed to prepare students for employment after college. Upon selection into the program, each intern is assigned to a region based on their field of study and interests. Most interns receive college credit for their experience with Delta. The Intern Class of 2012: Josh Costephens is a senior at Southeast Missouri State University majoring in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. Josh, working mainly at the corporate office, gained valuable experience with invoicing, journal entries and entering BOL’s. Ryan Damery is entering his final semester at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Ryan expects to graduate in December 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Geological Engineering. Ryan spent his summer at Southeast Missouri Stone learning everything that goes into the operation of a quarry, from blasting and maintenance to the scale house and quality control lab. Derek Gaines is a Civil Engineering major, entering his senior year at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Derek worked with Missouri Construction and his tasks included keeping track of asphalt trucks and analyzing downtime. Troy Hall is entering his final semester at Southern Illinois University, expecting to graduate in December 2012. Troy is a Civil Engineering major with a specialization in Structural Engineering. Working at the corporate office, Troy did research on North and South Dakota oil opportunities including oil issues and competition, as well as asphalt pricing. Morgan Handley will be a junior at Kansas State University who is majoring in Accounting. Working for Ballou Pavement Solutions this summer, Morgan assisted accounts payable by preparing and entering invoices, posting journal entries and gained knowledge of financial statements. Gregory Meyer is a student at Southeast Missouri State University who expects to graduate in May 2013 with a Master’s in Technology Management. Gregory helped the IT department by performing help desk duties, documenting and checking the network operations and assisting with the ESXi server setup and testing. (continued on page 6) Delta Companies Inc. 2012 Newsletter | ISSUE 3 1 Missouri and Illinois Construction Regions Merge Delta Companies recently combined the Illinois and Missouri Construction Regions into one large construction region. Many people have questioned the reason for this change and the impact it has on operations. The reason for combining the regions is simple - economics. According to Regional Manager Glen Graham, “As we are all aware, the economy continues to struggle and highway funding continues to dwindle. Delta Companies is in the unique position of being able to spread our resources when a downturn occurs in one geographic area to another,” which was accomplished by combining the regions. The Impact Delta Companies Inc. is committed to the Southern Illinois market. Delta Companies continues to bid work and was awarded work as recently as the August Illinois Department of Transportation letting. No assets have been sold, and the doors are remaining open. Illinois I-57 Work Notable projects in both states include the I-57 bridges in Illinois and the Sikeston Airport in Missouri. The bridges are on schedule, setting beams the week of August 13th, and anticipating a traffic switch to begin the demolition of the outer bridges in October. The Sikeston Airport was completed in June utilizing echelon paving (a technique of running two pavers in tandem) in order to obtain the FAA’s joint specification. Those participating in these projects have demonstrated great teamwork. Glen Graham has encouraged his team to stay safe during the remainder of the construction season by focusing on tasks, paying attention to potential hazards and addressing them before they become incidents, keeping an eye on co-workers and making sure we Stop, Think, and Act on all tasks. Echelon Paving at the Sikeston Airport 2 Delta Triangle Newsletter 2012 | ISSUE 3 Southeast Missouri Stone Demonstrates Diversity of Products The Delta Aggregates Division welcomes a new addition to the management team, Mr. Tad Moats. Tad has taken the position of Plant/ Quarry Manager at Southeast Missouri Stone/Cape Girardeau Quarry. Tad has many years of experience and leadership in aggregates operations and equipment. Tad spent a majority of his career in aggregates in Southern Nevada and recently relocated from Utah to the Cape Girardeau area. We’ve been informed by Tad that the Moats children are enjoying their new home in Missouri including lightning bugs, tadpoles, crayfish and their playtime in the nearby creek. Welcome to the Delta family; Tad, wife Lacie and children. The third quarter at Southeast Missouri Stone (SEMO Stone) has been filled with challenging and rewarding endeavors. SEMO Stone is producing a diverse line of products to meet customers’ demands while maintaining equipment. Current and upcoming work includes new railroad projects requiring large quantities of two-inch ballast and base products to be produced. Army Corps of Engineer projects are utilizing two-inch clean as well as 100-200 lb. rip-rap. Southeast Missouri Stone’s history of producing high-quality aggregates provides a foundation for future growth, and serves as a testament to the SEMO Stone Team. The employees of Southeast Missouri Stone also extend their thoughts and prayers to Jeffery Cecil during his long medical recovery. HOT Weather is a Factor for Arkansas Region The first half of the 2012 construction season was HOT! With temperatures reaching the upper 90’s and heat indices over 100 degrees during much of June and July it quickly became important to stay hydrated and keep an eye on fellow employees. The remainder of the Arkansas construction season includes several overlay projects, with three asphalt crews working simultaneously from three different plants. Most of these overlays are being produced out of the Clinton, Searcy and Paragould plants, with the Black Rock plant finishing up a 32,000 ton overlay. Wade Murray’s paving crew will be working on jobs out of Luxora and Paragould, and the crews led by Shane Moody, David Chastain and Jim Chastain are undertaking new jobs out of Searcy and Clinton. Phillip Nokes’ crew has been covering the milling operations and maintenance of traffic on the Highway 18 job in Blytheville. The Blytheville interstate job was successfully completed prior to July 4th, with all barrels off the job before the holiday. Overlay work will continue through the rest of this year. The Highway 18 job will be completed in 2012. This job, acquired by Delta in 2010, was delayed by archeological findings. The road forward for Arkansas looks bright: three large projects are on the horizon, with work on two sections of Highway 18 and the Paragould bypass. The managers of the Arkansas Region would like to recognize everyone for participating in, and contributing to, our 2012 CPI initiative. Each plant and road foreman has embraced the tons per man-hour reporting system. Crews are exceeding production goals and spreadsheets are being updated daily. The information gathered from these reports has been useful to the foreman, giving them a daily snapshot of their tons per man-hour. Additionally, it allows them to set goals for days to come. Although this tool has proven to be useful, it still needs refinement. The foreman will continue to improve upon this process. Recently, the Arkansas Regional Office experienced staffing changes. Brett Larkowski accepted the Assistant Regional Controller position. He has enrolled in graduate school for the fall semester at Arkansas State University in pursuit of his Master of Accounting Degree. Holly Michael left Delta to pursue her passion of opening a Boutique Shop. She dedicated 9 years to Delta and we wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. Delta Companies Inc. 2012 Newsletter | ISSUE 3 3 Heartland Asphalt Materials Introduces ColPatch TM Agencies in Southeastern Missouri, Northeastern Arkansas, and Southern Illinois are in need of a high performance cold mix that is cost effective, workable in low temperatures, and can be applied in wet as well as dry weather conditions. To meet the needs of these agencies, Heartland Asphalt Materials has developed ColPatch™, a high performance cold mix made with an emulsion engineered to satisfy all of these needs. In September 2011, 400 tons of ColPatch™ was pugmilled at the New Madrid Facility. After production, ColPatch™ was field-tested by the City of New Madrid at an intersection that suffered settling following the historic floods of 2011. The settling was so severe, vehicle bumpers were dragging when entering the intersection. City of New Madrid Street Superintendent Dick Bodi, and his crew, applied ColPatch™ over the 15’x4’x3” deep area of the intersection that suffered from settling. Superintendent Bodi determined this area would provide the toughest test for ColPatch™ due to the high traffic volumes and the tendency of this area to hold water during rains. Mr. Bodi had recently revisited the area and is very pleased with ColPatch™ durability. When asked about ColPatch™ Mr. Bodi said, “The material holds up great, it’s easy to work, and has the added benefit of not hardening until it has been applied to an area in need of repair, reducing waste.” While Mr. Bodi has historically used hot mix to patch potholes, time has always been a critical factor. ColPatch™ allows crews days, even months, to get the material into areas in need of repair. Delta Companies Sponsors SEMO District Fair Delta Companies served as a Grand Champion Sponsor of the SEMO District Fair, held in Cape Girardeau, Missouri during the week of September 8th. Delta has been a Grand Champion Sponsor of the fair for a number of years. This year, attendance during the week-long event topped 92,000. Thanks to all who donated their time and effort into making this year’s fair booth a success! 4 Delta Triangle Newsletter 2012 | ISSUE 3 Seatbelts are the REAL DEAL! • THE MYTH: If your car has air bags you don’t need a seatbelt. THE REAL DEAL: Air bags are designed to protect a buckled occupant. When unbuckled, airbags become less effective, or worse, and can even become deadly themselves. • THE MYTH: Seatbelts can trap you in a fire or underwater. THE REAL DEAL: Incidents involving fire or water account for ½ of 1 % of all crashes. But more importantly, you cannot escape such dangers unless you are conscious. Wearing a seatbelt gives you a much greater chance of being conscious and able-bodied. • THE MYTH: If you are not going far or traveling fast, seatbelts are not necessary. THE REAL DEAL: Seemingly routine trips can be deceptively dangerous. Most fatal crashes happen within 25 miles from home and at speeds of less than 40 mph. • THE MYTH: Your seatbelt can hurt you in a crash. THE REAL DEAL: In a crash, everything in your car can cause you harm - your seatbelt is one of the few things that can actually save you. • THE MYTH: Just being in a pickup truck makes you safer than everyone else. THE REAL DEAL: For SUV, pickup, and van occupants, seatbelts reduce the risk of fatal injury by 60%. • THE MYTH: It is not as essential for guys to wear seatbelts; they’re much better drivers. THE REAL DEAL: Young men are most at risk. Among passenger vehicle occupants, men ages 18-34 who were killed in fatal crashes, 66% were not buckled - the highest of any age group. Southern Illinois Stone Wins IAAP Award As the midpoint of the construction season passes, Southern Illinois Stone (SIS) continues to add business in the local area, including the Interstate 57/Route 13 interchange. Southern Illinois Stone has supplied base rock during most of the summer to this project and began supplying asphalt material once paving started. In addition to supplying material for this interstate project, SIS served as a major supplier of seal coat chips to local counties as they began their road work in 2012. Rip rap sales have been strong as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers works near Cairo, Illinois, and contractors work at local coal mines. Southern Illinois Stone recently received the “Community Relations Award” from the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers (IAAP). The award was presented by Shawn McKinney, Outreach Manager for IAAP. Southern Illinois Stone has given back to the surrounding community in several ways including field trips to the quarry, financial contributions to local schools and the donation of a light plant to Goreville High School for their Fall Festival. Southern Illinois Stone looks forward to supporting local communities in the future and would like to thank the surrounding area for their continued support through the years. A dinner was held to recognize Kenneth Rushing and Clifford Branscum, two of Southern Illinois Stone’s long-time employees who retired this year. All the employees from the quarry were able to attend the cookout and enjoyed seeing Kenneth and Cliff. Southern Illinois Stone thanks Kenneth and Cliff for the many years of service and wishes them the best as they begin the next chapter of their lives. where is that shovel?

Dan spent his summer in Arkansas learning about estimating, using Heavy Bid, profiling (smoothing of the road) and was even able to perform some supervision duties on the I-55 project. Dan really enjoyed the work and “getting dirty.” Scott Polczynski is entering his junior year at Southern Illinois University with a major in Accounting. Working at the corporate office, Scott spent most of his time at Delta working with financial statements and special projects for the Chief Financial Officer, Del Elfrink. Matt Studie will be a junior at Southeast Missouri State University. Matt is majoring in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting and Management. Matt worked at the corporate office and was able to gain experience with financial statements, running reports, monthly updates and even worked with pricing asphalt. Garrett Worden is a Civil Engineering major who is entering his senior year at the University of Kansas. Garrett worked with Ballou Pavement Solutions, traveling to various job sites to work on paving projects in areas such as Colorado and Nebraska. Delta also had Summer Student Workers who helped with the dayto-day operations of various regions. These outstanding students include: Matthew Horst, Kayley Horst, Dylan Essner, Francisco Alvarez and Jordan Shelton. The internship and summer work program ended on July 31st. Every student was an asset to the program and valuable to the work completed at Delta Companies. Interns Gain Valuable “Real World” Experience On: Communication: “My experience at Delta Companies has taught me that maintaining good communications is an important tool in every aspect of any business.” – Josh Costephens, Accounting Intern Handling the Unexpected: “I was thrown for a loop when I called Troy Ward’s [Corporate Controller] phone one morning and heard: ‘Hello, this is Domino’s Pizza.’” – Gregory Meyer, IT Intern Business Operations: “This internship was a fantastic experience of the real side of business operations because there are some things you just can’t learn in the classroom.” – Matt Studie, Accounting Intern Congratulations to the Intern Class of 2012! Thank you for your valuable insights and hard work. Best wishes from Delta Companies! 6 Delta Triangle Newsletter 2012 | ISSUE 3 Dexter Sand & Gravel Now in Operation Dexter Sand & Gravel In June, Delta Companies brought its newest aggregate operation, Dexter Sand & Gravel, online. The new site will provide concrete sand, mortar sand and gravel products to the Southeast Missouri market area. The processing plant is fed by a new Wolverine hydraulic dredge (manufactured by W&S Dredge Company, division of Dredge Supply Company). The dredge is capable of mining to a depth of 30 feet and utilizes a 10” pump with 30” impellor and CAT C13 engine (440 HP). To assist in the pumping of the raw material, the dredge is fitted with a rotating cutter head at the end of the suction pipe. The rotating cutter head digs into stubborn deposits to free materials for improved pumping. The dredge feed is received by a sizing screen that separates the gravel and sand products. Gravel products include an oversize (+1”), 1” x ½”, and pea gravel. The sand slurry is sent to a new sand plant manufactured by McLanahan Corporation. The sand plant separates the concrete sand and mortar sand and dewaters the products for stockpiling. Williamsville Stone continues to stay busy with local Poplar Bluff projects. In July, local general contractor, R.L. Persons Construction Inc., put the finishing touches on the new 2.1-mile Industrial Bypass Road. The new road will improve the logistics of moving goods in and out of the Poplar Bluff Industrial complex and improve safety for the nearly 3,000 employees that commute to and from the industrial park for work each day. Widening of Oak Grove Road, new Poplar Bluff Hospital in background. Construction on the new $170 million Poplar Bluff Regional Hospital continues to make steady progress. The hospital plans to begin receiving patients as early as December. To accommodate the new hospital’s increased traffic flow, Oak Grove Road is being widened from two lanes to five lanes. Local general contractor, Kajacs Contractors Inc., was awarded the Oak Grove widening project. In addition, a new interchange is being built off of Highway 67 to allow access to Oak Grove Road. Local general contractor, R.L. Persons Construction Inc. was awarded the interchange job. Ballou Pavement Solutions Attends Pavement Preservation Conference Ballou Pavement Solutions Inc. (BPSI) in conjunction with the Colas Pavement Preservation Group recently attended the first National Pavement Preservation Conference and Demonstration. Held August 27-30, in Nashville, Tennessee, more than 540 participants attended the field demonstrations, interactive meetings and training sessions. Ballou was a premier exhibitor alongside Colas, Terry Asphalt, Midland Asphalt, Strawser Construction and Southeast Emulsions. Colas Pavement Preservation and Colas Solutions have quickly become a leader in the U.S. Pavement Preservation arena. Delegates from 46 state transportation agencies as well as representatives from several cities and counties attended the event. The Ballou and Colas booths were well received and our account managers made many new contacts. The conference was timely because the new federal highway bill, MAP-21, contains language regarding pavement preservation and makes preservation eligible for federal funding. One day was devoted to field demonstrations of various pavement preservation techniques. One of the most talked about products demonstrated was Fiber-Mat. A crew from Strawser Construction, a Colas company from Columbus, Ohio, did a fantastic job showing off this Colas Solutions product. Fiber-Mat is a fiber-reinforced chip seal that is used as either a stand-alone seal or as a stress absorbing membrane under HMA pavements. As a bit of useless trivia, the demonstrations were held on the grounds of an abandoned prison outside of Nashville that had also been used in the filming of the motion picture “The Green Mile”. Attending from BPSI were Account Managers Doug Gordon, Kevin Harris, Tom Nagel, Construction Manager Nick DiBartolo and Regional Manager Rex Eberly.
