MINNEAPOLIS --  

Air Force Reserve Command’s 934th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental office at Minneapolis-St. Paul Air Reserve Station here received an Air Force environmental quality award May 3.

A base contingent accepted the Gen. Thomas D. White Environmental Quality Award (Reserve Component) during a ceremony in the Pentagon. The award recognizes excellence in managing the best or most improved installation environmental program in the Air Reserve Components, both the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard.
The award covers all aspects of environmental management and implementation such as clean water, clean air, hazardous waste, pollution prevention, and recycling, improving the environment, having good community and agency relationships, and having good training and awareness programs. This award not only recognizes the base environmental staff but also reflects well on each full-time civilian employee, air reserve technician and traditional reservist in the 934th Airlift Wing. The award covers fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and was submitted in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Past and current members of the winning environmental office who were involved in programs management during the award period are Jeff Wiles, Casey Buechler, Doug Yocum, Ken Ische, Diane Welsh, Rob Bailey, David Brixius and John Marchetti. (AFRC News Service)
