PVSC Recognizes Local Businesses With Perfect Environmental Compliance Records

Newark, NJ ? For the 25th consecutive year, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission ("PVSC") is recognizing companies that operated in the previous calendar year without having incurred a single effluent (wastewater discharge) or reporting violation.

PVSC service area companies who qualify as Significant Industrial Users are issued Sewer Use Permits that include limits for the quality of effluent the companies may discharge into the sewer system. These companies must also monitor and report on their discharges to PVSC on a monthly basis. Compliance violations occur when a company fails to file its monthly report on time or exceeds its permitted discharge limits.

Each facility that goes a full calendar year without a single violation earns a PVSC Permit Compliance Award. Included among this year's honorees is Sika Corporation of Lyndhurst, which has earned the award 23 consecutive years. Darling International of Newark has earned the award 18 straight years. Stefan Enterprises of Garfield and Unicorp of Orange have garnered the honor 15 consecutive times. Anheuser-Busch of Newark and Sunbrite Dye of Passaic have each received the award 14 consecutive times. Several companies have earned the award for a full decade or more.

"These companies should be justifiably proud of their accomplishments," said PVSC Chairman Thomas Tucci, Jr. "Achieving compliance is not easy and it comes with related costs, but these businesses do it, year after year, because they've made a commitment to their communities to operate in an environmentally responsible way. The Commissioners and I are very pleased to honor 100-plus companies in our service area that have put forth the effort and commitment to meeting their Sewer Use Permit requirements."

"These award winners constantly adhere to strict discharge limits," added PVSC Director of Inspection and Compliance Herbert Skinner. "That goes a long way in helping to protect public health and the environment."
