The Tahlequah Public Works Authority Compost Operation has received the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Clean Water Act Recognition Award.
The facility is one of 24 organizations nationwide to be honored for achievements in wastewater management. It won first place in the Exemplary Biosolids Management category for small operating projects.
“Tahlequah is going above and beyond just meeting the requirements of the Clean Water Act,” said EPA Regional Administrator Richard E. Greene. “The Public Works Authority’s innovative techniques for dealing with solid wastes benefit the city and the area’s natural resources while serving as an example for similar facilities around the country.”
