Jasper Plant Earns Clean Water Award From U.S. Poultry & Egg Association

The Jasper Plant has been awarded U.S. Poultry & Egg Association’s 2013 Clean Water Award. 

Presented annually, the award recognizes excellence in the operation of wastewater treatment plants in the poultry industry. 

The presentations were made during USPOULTRY’s Environmental Management Seminar, held in New Orleans, LA. The winners were selected by a committee made up of industry engineers and managers, university personnel, and retired state regulatory officials.

Awards are presented in two categories, full treatment and pretreatment. The pretreatment category includes facilities that discharge pretreated effluent to publicly-owned, full treatment facilities. To be eligible, a facility must have a minimum of two years of no significant non-compliances or notices of violations or any other type of enforcement action.

Marshall Durbin's Jasper, AL, facility was selected as the winner in the pretreatment category. 

The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association is an all-feather organization representing the complete spectrum of today’s poultry industry, with a focus on progressively serving member companies through research, education, communication, and technical assistance. Founded in 1947, U.S. Poultry & Egg Association is based in Tucker, GA.

Thank you to all our employees that helped make this happen!
