INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2002
BIOSOLIDS EXEMPLARY MANAGEMENT AWARDS PROGRAM
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is pleased to announce the
2002 Biosolids Exemplary Management Awards Program. This year's program
recognizes excellence in all areas of municipal biosolids management, including
outstanding operating projects, research, technological advances, public acceptability,
and risk and cost reduction activities.
EPA encourages you to submit nominations. The very process of preparing a
nomination package is beneficial. It helps preparers focus on the relevance of their
efforts and facilitates the spread of knowledge about the excellence of nominated
activities so that others might benefit. Transferring this knowledge is very important so
please do not miss this opportunity to submit your nomination.
EPA encourages states and regions to have local Biosolids Exemplary Management
Awards Programs. These increase the opportunity for recognition, promote public
understanding of good biosolids management at the local level, and emphasize the
benefits and sound science behind exemplary management. Water Environment
Federation (WEF) Member Associations, the National Biosolids Partnership (NBP), and
regional biosolids management associations are encouraging nominations for this year's
awards program. Please note the current categories and criteria that allow for the
recognition of a broad spectrum of programs with sound management, effective
communication to stakeholders, and community-friendly practices. The recognition
offered by this enhanced awards program is consistent with the new National Biosolids
Partnership Environmental Management System for Biosolids (EMS) which we hope that
all biosolids managers will want to implement.
The following material describes the awards program in detail and provides guidance
for preparing and submitting nominations. Please note that you need to send your
nominations to the EPA's Regional Offices by the deadlines specified in this document
so that your outstanding efforts can be considered for both regional and national
competitions. The National awards will be presented on September 30, 2002, at the
Annual WEF Conference and Exposition (WEFTEC) in Chicago, Illinois.
-------
AWARD CATEGORIES
Nominations will be accepted for recognition of excellence in a wide range of
activities that have stimulated the exemplary management of municipal biosolids.
National awards may be presented in the following categories:
# Operating Projects (large & small). Outstanding, full-scale, exemplary
management technologies.
# Technology Development Activities. Significant technological
improvements developed and fully proven at the operational level; these
may be pilot or full-scale activities.
# Research Activities. Studies that have substantially contributed to an
improved understanding of biosolids management practices, reduced risks
and costs, improved public acceptance, and/or have advanced the
technology.
# Public Acceptance Activities (municipal & others). Significant local,
regional, and national activities that have increased public acceptance of
biosolids management practices.
NOMINATION AND AWARD INFORMATION
# Nominations for awards may be submitted by anyone including the
nominee, EPA regions, states, WEF member associations, municipalities,
consultants, researchers, or other interested parties.
# Nominated entries may include both individuals and groups from private as
well as public organizations.
# As these nomination packages are prepared, it is important to tell the story
in a manner that clearly shows the benefits of exemplary management,
including how the activity reduced public concern. This information can
often be utilized locally in press releases, brochures and other outreach
activities.
# Previous first-place winning projects or activities will not be considered as
candidates for the same award category for a five-year period. However,
second place winners can reapply after a one-year wait to try for first place
in the same award category. Unsuccessful nominees for awards may apply
for an award the very next year. Persistence has paid off for many
nominees who have won awards after several years of attempts and
-------
improved nomination packages.
# Check with your regional EPA office for any details about a possible local
awards competition in your state.
# For consideration in the National Awards Program, completed nomination
packages (see specified format pages 7 & 8) must be received in duplicate
by the EPA region in which your activity/project is located (pages 10 & 11).
# The tentative regional deadlines for receipt of nominations are shown on
page 9. Important-Please check with the appropriate regional office
contact (page 10) for any region-specific nomination guidance and for that
region's final submission deadline.
# Entries will be considered for state and regional awards (where applicable)
as well as national awards. Regions will forward one copy of each qualified
nomination package to EPA Headquarters by the May 31, 2002, national
deadline.
# Nomination packages (received for the national competition) will be
reviewed by a panel consisting of representatives from EPA, WEF, and
other groups using the evaluation criteria (see pages 5 & 6) during July
2002. The panel recommends winning activities to EPA which, in turn, will
make final selections. State and EPA regional offices (where applicable) will
also review the nominations for a separate competition in their region.
Because the national and regional award programs involve separate review
panels and because all qualified entries may be considered in both
competitions, it is possible that winners in the national awards program
may differ from the regional award winners.
# Nominated activities may sometimes be chosen for special recognition
rather than a categorical award.
# Winning projects must be in full compliance with applicable regulations.
EPA will review the panel's recommendations for compliance with regional
and headquarters compliance offices before winners are announced.
# We anticipate being able to notify national award winners by July 31, 2002.
# National awards consisting of a certificate and plaque will be presented on
Monday, September 30, 2002, at the WEFTEC Annual Conference in
Chicago, Illinois. Because of fiscal constraints, EPA is unable to pay for
travel to the awards program. While we hope that you will attend the
-------
National Wastewater Management Excellence Awards Ceremony in
Chicago, separate arrangements will be made to present awards to those
unable to attend.
# Short articles describing national award winning exemplary management
activities will be developed by EPA and WEF for publication in WEF's
Operations Forum. Subsequent publications describing those regional as
well as national activities will be encouraged. Photographic prints and
analysis of both winning and non-winning entries will be used in EPA
publications that encourage exemplary biosolids management practices.
Please send photographic prints and not color zerox as zerox copies
cannot be used in publications.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
The Biosolids Exemplary Management Award candidates will be evaluated
against the following criteria:
FOR OPERATING PROJECTS [Two Categories: (1) < 5 dry tons per day {DTPD}
and (2) > 5 DTPD] (Note: Categorization is based upon the actual average daily
biosolids production and not the design capacity.)
