Several areas in West Virginia were recently recognized by
the state Department of Environmental Protection for environmental stewardship
in 2012.
The DEP's Make it Shine Program has given Clean Community
Awards to New Cumberland in Hancock County; Camden-on-Gauley in Webster County;
Odd in Raleigh County; and the Village of Beech Bottom in Brooke County.
Beech Bottom, in the Northern Panhandle, was selected the
grand prize winner, and the community will receive $500 to apply toward future
cleanup or beautification projects.
Clean Community Awards are given annual. Each municipality's
application is judged in several categories, including cleanup, recycling,
youth participation and beautification.
The DEP also recognized Putnam County with a 2012 Clean
County Award. The Putnam County Solid Waste Authority will receive $2,000 for
cleanup or other projects.
Clean County Awards are given annual to county solid waste
authorities that promote environmental stewardship through cleanups, outreach
and law enforcement.
"As always, we are excited and pleased to recognize the
outstanding efforts of these communities and counties," Danny Haught, chief of
the DEP's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan program, said in a news
release. "Their strong commitment to improving their communities and the
environment is a model all of West Virginia can follow."
