Members of the Deer Island team were on hand in
Philadelphia on Monday, July 16 to receive the award: Calvin Johnson, Shift Operations Manager; Bill Waitt, Senior Shift Manager; and Gary Garrity, Unit Supervisor. Mike Hornbrook, Chief Operating Officer, was also in attendance.
 
Congratulations to everyone at Deer Island and beyond who keep the plant running in peak condition.
