NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – June 26, 2006
– Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) received
two awards from the Hampton Roads Sanitation District
(HRSD) in May for its exemplary environmental compliance
record and its commitment to protecting and preserving
the environment.
In an award letter to Northrop Grumman,
Ronald E. Johnson, chief of industrial waste for the HRSD
said, “We often tend to focus only on the negative
aspects of environmental regulations, therefore it is
with great pleasure that we are able to recognize and
honor your environmental excellence.”
Northrop Grumman’s Newport News shipyard
was recognized for meeting discharge limits in 2005 as
well as meeting technical and administrative requirements
that are mandated by HRSD permits.
“As a company, we are committed to
continuous improvements in our environmental programs,”
said Frank Thorn, manager of environmental engineering
at Northrop Grumman Newport News. “This commitment
is not only good for the environment, our employees and
the citizens of our community, but it also makes good
business sense. These awards acknowledge the coordinated
efforts of thousands of employees throughout the shipyard.”
