StormwateRx Wins Environmental Excellence Award for Green Enterprise & Technology

StormwateRx LLC, a provider of industrial storm water treatment and filtration systems, was honored with an Environmental Excellence Award from the Association of Washington Business (AWB). StormwateRx won the 2011 Green Enterprise & Technology Award for the company’s systems that help industrial sites manage and treat storm water runoff and prevent pollutants from entering local waterways.

In addition, StormwateRx customer Seaview Boatyard Inc. received an AWB award for Leading Environmental Practices for their implementation of green technologies and practices, including storm water treatment.

“Whether it’s organic farming, recycling or educating the public about best environmental practices, the companies we celebrate today have become industry leaders for finding innovative, sustainable solutions to ongoing challenges,” said AWB President Don Brunell. “Research confirms that Washington state is one of the ‘greenest’ states in the county, leading the way in everything from renewable resources to venture capital investments in clean projects. The companies we honor today further underscore that distinction and will help us grow our economy in new, innovative and sustainable ways.”

StormwateRx designs, manufactures and installs storm water treatment systems for industrial sites across the U.S. and Canada. The company also has developed a series of Industry Remedies, including best practices and ideal product configurations that address the unique environmental concerns of different industries and help companies met even the strictest environmental benchmarks.

“We are honored to receive this award from the AWB,” said Calvin Noling, president and CEO of StormwateRx LLC. “Winning an Environmental Excellence award in the state of Washington, while also seeing one of our customers receive honors for their own environmental leadership, holds particular significance for us.”

With a number of environmentally sensitive areas, major waterways and a relatively high amount of annual rainfall, the state of Washington has implemented some of the most protective storm water benchmarks in North America. StormwateRx has more than 30 installations in Washington, with the capacity to treat 5 million gal of polluted Washington storm water per day.

Formed in 1904, the Association of Washington Business is Washington’s oldest and largest statewide business association. Each year the AWB recognizes member companies for their initiative, innovation and outstanding achievements in environmental compliance, protection and conservation. The Environmental Excellence Awards are presented in conjunction with the AWB Spring Meeting in Spokane.
