WHITE SULFUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - The West Virginia Manufacturers' Association honored Dominion Energy's Mt. Storm Power Station Thursday as a state environmental leader for its long commitment to improving water quality for game fish, tagging black bears, improving wildlife habitat, creating wetlands and preserving pristine wilderness areas.
Mt. Storm was one of nine West Virginia businesses or industries to receive the association's Business Environmental Leadership Award.
"Environmental stewardship is one of our important roles," said Thomas F. Farrell II, chief executive officer of Dominion Energy, the generation unit of Dominion (NYSE: D). "It is not only a key goal for our company, but something many of our employees -- who are hunters, fisherman and outdoor enthusiasts themselves -- have taken to heart. Many of our successful programs would not have occurred without their ideas and volunteer efforts.
"On behalf of Dominion Energy and the employees at Mt. Storm, we are honored to be recognized by the association," said Farrell.
Martin L. Bowling Jr., vice president-Fossil & Hydro, and William H. Wilkinson, senior environmental compliance coordinator at Mt. Storm, accepted the award at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce's 66th Annual Meeting and West Virginia Business Summit at The Greenbrier resort. Don Welsh, Environmental Protection Agency Region III administrator, presented the award.
Mt. Storm was honored for 40 years of environmental stewardship and a number of different environmental activities, including:
Earlier this year, West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise named Mt. Storm one of the state's top environmental stewards. The station received the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's environmental stewardship award for a number of activities, including the addition of emissions control equipment to reduce sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions.
