2007 Water Efficiency Leader Awards--Call for Applicants
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the opening of the application period
for the U.S. EPA's second annual Water Efficiency Leader Awards. The
awards recognize those organizations and individuals who are providing
leadership and innovation in water efficient products and practices.
These awards are intended to help foster a nationwide ethic of water
efficiency, as well as to inspire, motivate, and recognize efforts to
improve water efficiency. This program will enable EPA to document
``best practices'', share information, encourage an ethic of water
efficiency, and create a network of water efficiency leaders.
Recognition will be given on the basis of persuasive community or
organizational leadership in the area of water efficiency, originality
and innovativeness, national/global perspective and implications, and
overall improvements in water efficiency. Actual (as opposed to
anticipated) results are preferred and applicants should be able to
demonstrate the amount of water saved. Candidates may be from anywhere
in the United States, they may work in either the public or the private
sector, and they may be either self-nominated or nominated by a third
party. The following sectors are encouraged to apply: Corporations,
Industry, Individuals, Non-Governmental Organizations and other
Associations, Institutions, and Teams, Local, State, Tribal, and
Federal Governments, and Military Individuals and Organizations. In
order to be considered, applicants must have a satisfactory compliance
record with respect to environmental regulations and requirements.
Applications will be judged by a panel of national water efficiency
experts from a variety of sectors. The panelists will provide
recommendations to EPA, who will then make the final decision. EPA
reserves the right to contact nominees for additional information
should it be deemed necessary.
To Apply: Send a one page description (single sided) of the water
efficient project being nominated. Also send a completed and signed
application form found at http://www.epa.gov/water/wel.
DATES: Applications must be postmarked by August 17, 2007 in order to
be considered.
