Industries Honored for Being "Good Corporate Citizens"

WHITTIER, CA, Jul 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
Certificates of Recognition were sent to 408 companies by the Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles County for being "good corporate citizens" for
the year 2008. These companies were consistent in their compliance with
all their industrial wastewater discharge requirements. They met their
limits for wastewater discharge, were free from any notices of violation,
maintained their environmental equipment and fulfilled their permit
requirements. Seventy-one of the companies have received this recognition
for the last five or more consecutive years.

"As far as we're concerned, the 408 industries receiving certificates are
our model citizens," notes Steve Maguin, Chief Engineer and General
Manager of the Sanitation Districts. "We appreciate their effort,
particularly in these challenging economic times, because it makes our
job of running a huge wastewater collection and treatment system so much
easier." Mr. Maguin announced the certificate awardees at the meetings of
the Boards of Directors of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County.

"The recipients of these awards are pleased to receive them, knowing that
the Sanitation Districts view industry as a partner in the effort to
protect the environment," notes Sam Bell, Vice President of Metal
Surfaces, Inc., of Bell Gardens and chair of the Industry Advisory
Council. "We hope this will continue to be an award that is sought after
by industry and recognized by the public. The Sanitation Districts have
always worked closely with industry, and recognizing industry for
conscientious compliance is a further step to encourage companies to meet
regulations, protect the environment, and save water and energy."

The idea for the Certificates of Recognition originated with the
Sanitation Districts' Industry Advisory Council, an advisory group of 21
representatives from different industrial sectors. The Council and the
Sanitation Districts felt it was important that industries with good
compliance records be recognized. The Recognition Program is now in its
thirteenth year.

"This is a great example of private industry working with regulators for
economic and environmental benefits," said Cynthia Kurtz, President and
CEO of the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership. "Their determination
and innovation show that we can support the economy while maintaining our
quality of life."

"The Districts hope this Recognition Program will further strengthen the
relationship of government and industry working together for a better
environment and a sustaining economy," added Paul Martyn, head of the
Sanitation Districts' Industrial Waste Section.

The Sanitation Districts are a partnership of independent special
districts serving over 5 million people in 78 cities and the
unincorporated territory within Los Angeles County. The Sanitation
Districts provide environmentally sound, cost effective wastewater and
solid waste management, and in the process convert waste into resources
such as reclaimed water, energy, and recycled materials.
