EOA serves as the program manager for the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP), which received an award from the Water Environment Federation (WEF) in 2016 for the Overall Highest Score for a Phase 1 Municipal Stormwater Program and Gold Level for Innovation and Program Management. The award ceremony was held at the Annual WEFTEC conference in New Orleans on September 26, 2016.
These awards are part of the National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards program, led by WEF through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The program was established in 2015 to recognize high-performing regulated Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Programs (MS4s) throughout the United States. The objective of this program is to inspire MS4 program leaders to seek new and innovative ways to meet and exceed regulatory requirements in a manner that is both technically effective as well as financially efficient. Recognition of innovative approaches is also a highlight of this program.
