Jeffrey McBurnie Receives the Alfred E. Peloquin Award at the Annual NEWEA Conference in Boston, Massachusetts

 

Established in 1991 as the NEWEA Operations Award, this award was renamed the Alfred E. Peloquin Award in 1992. The award is given annually to an individual from each of the six New England states who has shown a high level of interest and performance in wastewater operations and who has made a significant contribution to the wastewater field in such areas as improvements to the environment, cost-effective plant operations, public relations, innovative process control, industrial pretreatment, training, Association contributions, and related activities. The award is named in honor of NEWEA’s former Executive Director in recognition of his initiatives in training programs for wastewater treatment and his many years of dedicated service to the New England Water Environment Association. The award is also intended to be presented at each Affiliated State Association’s Annual Meeting by an officer of the New England Water Environment Association.

NEWEA is pleased to present the Alfred E. Peloquin Award to:
