August 20, 2007—The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) are now accepting applications for the Eighth Annual Clean Air Excellence Awards program.
Winners are honored for outstanding accomplishments in programs, projects, or technologies that reduce air pollution emissions. Applicants are judged in five awards categories: (1) Clean Air Technology; (2) Community Development/Redevelopment; (3) Education/Outreach (4) Regulatory/Policy Innovations; and (5) Transportation Efficiency Innovations.
In addition, the program will recognize two special award categories: (1) Gregg Cooke Visionary Program Award, given to the air quality project or program that successfully blends two or more of the five existing awards categories; and (2) The Thomas W. Zosel Outstanding Individual Achievement Award, which recognizes one individual for their outstanding achievement, leadership, and commitment to promote clean air and achieve better air quality.
The awards will be announced in spring 2008. All applications for the awards should be postmarked on or before September 21. For more information see the Awards page on the EPA Web site.
