Environmentalists Honored at Annual
North Country Convention

On November 2, 2007 three of Northern Maine’s Wastewater Operators were recognized by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for outstanding achievements and excellence in their profession.
After 27 years as an operator at Fort Fairfield Utility District, Gary Levesque was presented with a Maine DEP Certificate of Achievement just prior to his scheduled retirement on November 30, 2007. Not only has Mr. Levesque maintained the distinction of having the longest tenure since the formation of Fort Fairfield Utility District in 1950, he also worked there for 27 years without ever taking a sick day! Congratulations to Mr. Levesque for his exemplary career and his dedication.

Andre Gendreau, Chief Operator of the Grand Isle Wastewater Treatment Facility, and Gorman Chamberlain of Sinclair Sanitary District were also awarded Maine DEP Certificates of Achievement for their outstanding teamwork in the town of St. Agatha. After a long history of compliance issues and near-violations with the St. Agatha Wastewater Treatment Facility, Mr. Gendreau and Mr. Gorman worked together to determine the causes of multiple compliance issues, and solved many problems by developing a process control plan and a set of SOPs for the St. Agatha Wastewater Treatment Facility. Due to the work of these dedicated operators the St Agatha facility has been in continuous compliance since April 2005!

The Certificates of Achievement were presented by Maine DEP Bureau of Land and Water Quality Director, Andrew Fisk at JETCC’s North Country Convention in Presque Isle. The Awards were announced before an audience of 134 water and wastewater operators, Maine State Senator John Martin, and three Maine Wastewater Control Association Executive Committee members.

The North Country Convention takes place every other year in Presque Isle, Maine. It is organized and presented by the Maine Joint Environmental Training coordinating committee (JETCC), in cooperation with Maine Wastewater Control Association (MWWCA), and New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC). The North Country Convention is offered as a northern Maine compliment to similar events offered by MWWCA in other regions of the state while it provides a setting for personnel working in water pollution control to meet, network and enjoy variety of training opportunities.
