POTY Award
Plant of the Year Award
This is a worthwhile undertaking for your plant and could get you and your colleagues the recognition you deserve for all the hard work and dedication that goes into making your plant run top notch. POTY Award applicants and the winner will be announced at the Fall Meeting. For assistance in filling out the application, please contact John Adie.
The Plant of the Year Award, also referred to as the POTY Award, is awarded to a New Hampshire Wastewater plant to recognize outstanding excellence in following permit requirements, both US EPA and NHDES.
All rules, eligibility requirements and deadlines are listed in the application form. The applications for POTY are normally available in the spring for the prior year.
The winner is presented with this prestigious award at the Winter Meeting held each December.
Rules: The period covered is from January 1 through December 31 of the previous year. If your plant is chosen as a finalist, a site visit will be conducted and all information submitted will be verified. All treatment plants are eligible and scoring will be on a ratio basis of employees to activities. Compliance scoring is also a ratio of all tests performed in one year vs. the number of violations for that test. If there are questions regarding this application please contact a member of the NHWPCA Board of Directors (www.nhwpca.org). Submit completed applications to: NHWPCA POTY Award, 10 Tower Office Park, Suite 601, Woburn, MA 01801 BY August 28th.
