Eligibility for P2 awards

Industrial achievement award

The Industrial Achievement Award program recognizes industries that maintain 100% compliance with the terms and conditions of their Onondaga County Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits.

Any company with an active Onondaga County Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit is eligible for the award. Receipt, of course, depends on the company's maintaining 100% compliance with all permit conditions for the calendar year.

P2 award

The Pollution Prevention Award is given annually to a company that implements measures that significantly reduce waste, resources, and costs. Feedback from this program has been overwhelmingly positive.

Any company with an active Onondaga County Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit is eligible for the award. 100% compliance is not required for receipt of the Pollution Prevention Award. However, the company must have implemented a system that resulted in measurable reductions in waste, resources, or costs. A wastewater component to the project is preferable but not required.

Application process

Applications are informal; a letter or project summary are acceptable. An inspection may be conducted to verify the project description.
