Jim Balliet of Gwin, Dobson & Foreman Engineers was recently awarded the Guy E. Shaffer Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Pennsylvania Rural Water Association.
The award is in recognition of Jim’s technical accomplishments in advancing the functional use of water and wastewater treatment technologies and his dedication to training and educating managers and plant operators at PRWA conferences and continuing education events.
GD&F President, Mark Glenn, noted that “early on, Jim Balliet became an authority on water treatment technologies. He has since led our environmental team in pioneering the use of membrane filtration, ozone treatment, and coagulation chemistry refinement using zeta-potential, among others. We congratulate Jim on being awarded this prestigious honor in recognition of his technical expertise and for the training, guidance and support of plant operators and system managers over the last 33 years.”
