Earle B. Phelps Award
Outstanding WWTFS Performance
|
The Earle B. Phelps Awards are given annually by the Florida Water Environment Association to recognize the wastewater treatment facility, which has maintained the highest removal of major pollution causing constituents prior to discharging the treated effluent to the receiving water. In previous years, the evaluation criteria had been given an advantage to advanced wastewater treatment facilities, which achieved removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. In order to recognize superior facilities, which are not required to practice nutrient removal, additional award categories were established for secondary and upgraded secondary facilities. Establishment of multiple awards was intended to encourage greater participation throughout the state and to allow similarly designed wastewater treatment plants to compete on an equitable basis.
