FMR's Blue Star Award Program getting noticed

The Blue Star Award Program which FMR launched this fall continues to receive positive reviews from local governments. The program, which recognizes cities that have taken the lead in instituting policies and practices to reduce runoff pollution, now has ten award recipients.

The award program works with an assessment that was developed by FMR and Emmons & Olivier Resources, Inc., a water resources engineering firm. Read about it in the Pioneer Press article, "Clean water at heart of Blue Star program".
