LONG BEACH, Calif. (October 25, 2006) – Earth Tech, Inc.’s Gerald “Gerry” Stevens was honored by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) with an achievement award at the association’s annual dinner yesterday. Stevens serves as a process design and operations specialist in the Kelowna, British Columbia, office of Earth Tech, a business unit of Tyco International Ltd., and a global provider of consulting, engineering and construction services.
WEF’s Morgan Operational Solutions Medal recognizes valuable contributions to the study and solution of operational problems faced by water environment professionals.

As an Earth Tech employee, he helped lead the way in the implementation of these techniques in wastewater treatment projects throughout North America, southeast Asia, Australia and Europe.
“Gerry’s willingness to explore and embrace new approaches has had a direct impact on our ability to improve the health of waterways in communities,” said Alan Krusi, Earth Tech president. “His passion for technical excellence has led him to share this knowledge with others, furthering his contributions to the wastewater treatment profession.”
