Gorham, New Hampshire Wastewater Treatment
Plant Recognized for Excellence
(Boston, Mass.—February 20, 2013) The Gorham,
N.H. Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently selected by EPA for a 2012 Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award.
The Gorham Wastewater Treatment Plant staff,
led by Kurt Johnson, Chief Operator, and Dave Patry, Superintendent, was
recognized by EPA's New England Office for exceptional work in operating and
maintaining the wastewater treatment
plant. The plant was among five specific facilities in New England
acknowledged for exemplary performance during 2012.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental
Services was instrumental in nominating this facility. In addition, the plant
has been provided with outstanding support from the Town of Gorham over the
years.
“The professionals operating these wastewater
treatment plants, as well as the municipalities and the state environmental
agencies that support them, are essential to keeping our environment healthy by
protecting water quality. I am proud to give them the credit they deserve,” said
Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England
Office.
The EPA Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award was established to recognize and honor the employees of publicly owned wastewater treatment plants for its commitment to improving water quality with outstanding plant operations and maintenance. More often than not, and particularly with the smaller facilities, conscientious operators and staff continue to perform exceptionally with limited resources.
