Marianna Receives EPA Recognition for Solar Array Project
DEP s Deputy Secretary for Ecosystems Restoration, Adam Blalock, and DWRA s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) staff visited the city of Marianna for a plaque presentation and tour of the Marianna Solar Array Project. The city received the Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) 2020 George F. Ames PISCES Recognition for Excellence in Problem Solving for the project. DWRA s CWSRF provided a $5 million low-interest loan for the construction of two solar facilities to provide nearly all of the energy needs for the wastewater system. By reducing the operational cost over 20%, the small rural community’s wastewater rates are controlled and made more affordable for the future.
