Publilshed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
BOSTON (Jan. 29, 2024) – The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District’s Industrial Pretreatment Program staff, led by Colleen Spero, was honored for exceptional work inspecting, permitting, and sampling industrial users that discharge industrial waste into the collection system.
“Wastewater treatment is a vital, but often overlooked, part of our world. Most of us don’t realize what it takes behind the scenes for wastewater to be treated for pollution control and reuse, in order to protect public health and the environment,” said EPA New England Regional Administrator David W. Cash. “It’s important for us to highlight those individuals and entities who excel in their work to protect our water quality and our health, and we at EPA congratulate them for their dedication to the environment and to our communities.”
The EPA Regional Industrial Pretreatment Program Excellence Award was established to recognize and honor employees of publicly owned wastewater treatment plants for their commitment to improving water quality through outstanding oversight of its industrial users discharging to the municipal sewer system.
