DLC Resources, Inc. employs several sustainable business practices in order to reduce our carbon footprint. These practices help create a healthier, more sustainable environment for our communities.

	Carpooling Each employee, with the exception of the Superintendent and Foreman, meets at our shop every morning before departing for the community. Crews are transported to the properties in vans and trucks, reducing the number of vehicles on the road. Additionally, secure on-site facilities allow trucks and equipment utilized daily by the crew to be stored at the community, further reducing the potential emissions created transporting equipment and personnel.
	Fuel Efficient Fleet Trucks and vehicles at DLC are on average just four years old. DLC replaces our fleet with new models to ensure vehicles are always in the best condition. This allows us to take advantage of the newest technology in vehicle safety and fuel efficiency, reducing the emissions generated by DLC vehicles. Additionally, managers that travel extensively drive smaller, more efficient vehicles including Hybrid Toyota Priuses.
	Proactive Equipment Replacement Every 18 months, we replace all two-cycle equipment in our inventory. This includes buying all new blowers, line trimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, tree trimmers and backpack blowers. By replacing this equipment, we reduce equipment related down time and onsite mechanic visits to repair malfunctioning equipment. Lastly, by consistently updating equipment, advances made in engine technology are employed yearly at all DLC properties.
	Active Irrigation Water Management Onsite Irrigation Technicians spend significant time each day testing, adjusting, repairing and, when necessary, replacing various components of a community’s irrigation system to make sure it is in good working order. Active water management means giving plants the amount of water they need to thrive; no more, no less. We embrace technological advances in irrigation systems, but we do not believe in relying on technology alone. We have the resources to actively monitor the irrigation system, the condition of the plants and changes in weather. Our goal is to save the communities we serve money, and we also want to keep water that would have been used for irrigation behind the dam or underground in the aquifer.
