"As far as we're concerned, the 459 industries receiving certificates areour model citizens," notes Steve Maguin, Chief Engineer and General Managerof the Sanitation Districts. "We appreciate their effort because it makesour job of running a huge wastewater collection and treatment system somuch easier." Mr. Maguin announced the certificate awardees at themeetings of the Boards of Directors of the Sanitation Districts of LosAngeles County.

"We hope this will continue to be an award that is sought after by industryand recognized by the public," notes Sam Bell, Vice President of MetalSurfaces, Inc., of Bell Gardens and chair of the Industry Advisory Council."It provides further incentive for companies to meet Districts' limits andregulations. The Sanitation Districts have always worked closely withindustry, and recognizing industry for conscientious compliance is afurther step to encourage companies to comply with regulations and protectthe environment."

Paul Martyn, head of the Sanitation Districts' Industrial Waste Section,adds that the monitoring, inspection and compliance records of thesefacilities were carefully checked to verify that every requirement was metduring the year.

The idea for the Certificates of Recognition originated with the SanitationDistricts' Industry Advisory Council, an advisory group of 18representatives from different industrial sectors. The Council and theSanitation Districts felt it was important that industries with goodcompliance records be recognized. The Recognition Program is now in itstwelfth year.

"This is a great example of private industry working with regulators foreconomic and environmental benefits," said Ron Wood, President and CEO ofthe San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership. "Their determination andinnovation show that we can have a diverse and growing economy whilemaintaining our quality of life."

"The Districts hope this Recognition Program will further strengthen therelationship of government and industry working together for a betterenvironment and a sustaining economy," added Paul Martyn.

The Sanitation Districts are a partnership of independent special districtsserving over 5 million people in 78 cities and the unincorporated territorywithin Los Angeles County. The Sanitation Districts provideenvironmentally sound, cost effective wastewater and solid wastemanagement, and in the process convert waste into resources such asreclaimed water, energy, and recycled materials.
