<br /> <br />Item # 7.3. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />March 15, 2005 <br /> <br />Mr. Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: MPCA CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br /> <br />The attached letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency announces the receipt of a <br />Certification of Commendation for outstanding operation, maintenance, and management of <br />the City's Wastewater Treatment System. Among other things, this award recognizes that <br />the WWTP has not exceeded its effluent limits during the period of October 2003 through <br />September 2004 and that all monthly and annual reports were completed accurately and in a <br />timely fashion. As such, this is a direct reflection on the leadership of Gary Leirmore and <br />the work and effort put forth by his staff. <br /> <br />Since Gary has taken over as Chief Operator, Elk River's Wastewater Treatment Plant has <br />received this award every year except 2000 when activities at the WWTP caused the effluent <br />limits to be exceeded. In addition, it should be noted that the WWTP received the EP A <br />Region 5 first place award in 2001 and the EP A National second place award the same year. <br /> <br />I believe it would be appropriate to recognize Gary and his staff's efforts throughout the <br />year that made it possible for the Elk River Wastewater Treatment Plant to receive this <br />award. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />T2~ <br /> <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />S:\Engineer\2005 Memos\03 1505 PK WWTP.doc <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
