ACWA Annual Awards

The Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ACWA) annually presents awards for outstanding achievement.

The annual awards are given to an Outstanding Individual and Outstanding Member Agency excelling in any of the areas of pollution prevention, environmental leadership, or innovation in environmental management.

The criteria for each of the categories include:

Pollution Prevention

  • A program or action which eliminated or drastically reduced a source of pollution to a water resource which was untreated or undertreated prior to the program or action, or
  • An existing program which is operated in an outstanding manner and the program prevents pollution to a water resource, or is an integral part of a program which does.

Environmental Leadership

  • A person or an agency which demonstrates effective leadership in creating positive environmental changes regarding a water-related resource.

Innovation in Environmental Management

  • A program which solves a new or existing water resource-related problem. This program should be adaptable to other agencies. In considering nominations in this category, the Board will be mindful of the relative resources of different agencies.

Nominations are being accepted for both Outstanding Individual and Outstanding Member Agency. A nomination form is included on the back side.
