BOSTON - Andy Fish, retired Engineer of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), was recently recognized with an E.P.A. Regional Wastewater "2015 Regional Lifetime Achievement Award" by the E.P.A.'s New England regional office. Mr. Fish was acknowledged for having done an outstanding job providing training and technical assistance to many wastewater professionals in New England.

The E.P.A. Regional Wastewater Awards Plan acknowledges personnel in the wastewater field who have provided invaluable public service managing and operating wastewater treatment facilities throughout New England. The Vermont DEC was instrumental in Mr. Fish's nomination.

"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 acknowledge Mr. Fish's outstanding contributions to help protect public health and water quality for so many years and to give him the credit he deserves," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England Office.

EPA's New England office formally acknowledged Mr. Fish for his outstanding service during the yearly New England Water Environment Association Conference in Boston.
