Conduct internal and external benchmarking to identify improvement opportunities and present findings to Plant Management and Operations leadership.

Identify, test, and recommend, in collaboration with Engineering and Operations, investments aimed at improving plant performance or effluent treatment efficiency.

Develop an annual action plan to reduce the environmental footprint of the three sites; monitor progress and report on results.
