(Boston-March 1, 2010) The Jamestown, Rhode Island Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently selected by E.P.A. for a Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award.

The staff of Jamestown Wastewater Treatment Plant, led by Douglas Ouellette, Superintendent, David Green, Assistant Superintendent, and Paul Robertson, Plant Operator, was acknowledged by EPA's New England Office for exceptional work in operating and maintaining the plant. The plant was among 6 facilities in New England acknowledged for exemplary performance during 2009. The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management was instrumental in nominating this facility.

"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," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England Office. "I am proud to give them the credit they deserve."

The E.P.A. Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Excellence Award was established to recognize and honor the employees of publicly owned wastewater treatment plants for their commitment to improving water quality with outstanding plant operations and maintenance and on-going operator training. This plan has found that particularly with the smaller facilities, conscientious operators and staff continue to perform exceptionally well with limited resources.

The Jamestown Wastewater Treatment Plant was acknowledged on January 27th at the yearly New England Water Environment Association Conference in Boston.
