PEOPLE/AWARDS

The city of Marysville (Idaho) Downtown Stormwater Treatment Park received the Innovative Stormwater Project Award from the Pacific Northwest Clean Water Association. The facility, which treats 460 acres of urban runoff, takes up only a half-acre of size by using new media – the Filterra Bioscape system – for the first time at this scale.

The city of Griffin (Georgia) hired Jeremy Kenway as the director of its stormwater department. He previously served as the department’s superintendent.

The city of Wilson (North Carolina) received an $875,331 grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation as part of the organization’s $25 million Flood Mitigation Program. The grant will be used to design and construct stormwater flood control measures at Carolina Street Park and Freeman Park.

The town of Bourne (Massachusetts) received a $375,000 grant awarded by the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program through the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. The grant will be used to construct a stormwater treatment system to address contaminated runoff from a parking lot at Queen Sewell Pond beach.
