Efforts
Baltimore Business Journal 6/20/2003
Anne Arundel County received two anti-pollution awards for its five-year
total compliance with federal pollution guidelines, the county announced
Thursday.
The Association of Metropolitan Sewer Agencies gave the county two Platinum
Awards for its perfect anti-pollution record at the Cox Creek and Maryland City
wastewater plants. This is the second time the two facilities have won the
award, which means the two facilities have had a perfect record for 10 years.
"We work extremely hard to achieve a level of success that far exceed minimum
environmental standards," County Executive Janet S. Owens said in a statement.
"These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our DPW
management and staff."
The Broadneck and Broadwater facilities also received awards for their 100
percent compliance to guidelines for the year.
