Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence for 1996 [26 Pa.B. 2249] The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is announcing the application period for the 1996 Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence. This program is an annual event which honors and promotes efforts which benefit the State's environment, economy and sustainable development. The 1996 awards will be presented in five areas: Education and Outreach, Energy Efficiency, Pollution Prevention, Technology Innovation and Recycling & Market Development. Pennsylvania businesses, public agencies, organizations, educational institutions and individuals are invited to apply for the awards.
If your environmental management activities have included implementation of pollution prevention strategies and innovative technologies to use existing resources more effectively, recycling and the development of recycled materials, improvement in energy efficiency, or education and outreach activities related to pollution prevention and compliance assistance, DEP invites you to participate in this year's awards program. These awards are an important way for DEP to share information and publicize strategies that reduce waste and pollution efficiently with often a significant cost savings. This program is an example of the DEP advocating technology sharing, as well as providing recognition to the State's leaders in innovative environmental management techniques.
