TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator ~f~/VTP <br /> <br />July 9, 2001 <br /> <br />EPA Regional Award <br /> <br />Item # 5.6. <br /> <br />It is my pleasure to inform you that the City of Elk River Wastewater Treatment Facility has <br />been selected to receive an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 award <br />for operation and maintenance. We have been selected as the fzrst place winner for our <br />category, which is Medium (size), Secondary (treatment). Our region consists of Illinois, <br />Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan. The award singles out the City of Elk <br />River Wastewater Facility as the Top Facility of our size and mode of treatment in the six <br />state region. <br /> <br />Only one city in each category gets the award each year. So you can tell by the size and <br />population of our region that this is a very prestigious award and not too many Minnesota <br />cities have received this award. A representative from the EPA will be at City Hall on <br />August 9, 2001 at 10:30 a.m. to present the award and plaque to the city. I am hopeful that <br />the Mayor can be present to accept the award for the City of Elk River. Also, we are still in <br />the running, along with other facilities, for a national award. <br /> <br />(As an aside, the City of Big Lake also received a region 5 award.) <br /> <br /> <br />
