Partners

Partners providing funding for MCET's initiatives include the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) where MCET serves as the state-designated environmental training center providing training to meet certification requirements of water and wastewater professionals in Maryland.  MCET provides technical assistance to Maryland’s 66 major wastewater plants discharging into the Chesapeake Bay to upgrade to Enhanced Nutrient Removal.

Additional funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows MCET to deliver on-site technical assistance for small wastewater facilities. Funding received from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) provides metal/nonmetal and coal miners safety and health training designed to reduce mining accidents, injuries, and illness. 

Other funding: MCET received an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant in Source Protection to work with small to medium-sized ready mixed concrete and aggregate operations in the State of Maryland.  The goal was to develop training materials on industry best management practices (BMPs) related to water quality.  

Over the grant period, MCET worked with and would like to thank the industry representatives from: Chaney Enterprises, Lafarge North America, Reliable Contracting, Inc., National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association who spent time with us in the field and providing feedback on the training materials that were developed during the grant period.  MCET would also like to thank representatives from EPA’s headquarters office, Region 1 office and their Region 3 office for providing their feedback on the materials.
