CAPACCIO Supports the OARS 25th Annual River Cleanup
August 11, 2011

CAPACCIO is proud to be a contributor to help support the OARS 25th Annual River Cleanup of the Assabet, Sudbury and Concord rivers. OARS is a non-profit organization that aims to protect, preserve and enhance the natural and recreational features of the three rivers as well as their tributaries and watersheds. This year’s clean-up will take place on Saturday, September 17, when volunteers will wade through all three rivers and their tributaries and continue the twenty-four year effort to restore these beautiful rivers. Volunteers will expect to haul trash, tires, bottles, car parts, bicycles, and whatever they can find, to the shore for appropriate disposal. CAPACCIO’s donation will help defray the cost of the clean-up and support other OARS programs to restore the three rivers. CAPACCIO employees also plan to participate in the clean-up efforts. For more information about OARS, please visit www.oars3rivers.org.

Congratulations to William (Bill) Potochniak, who recently earned his professional engineer’s (PE) license. Bill is a Senior Environmental Engineer at CAPACCIO and his PE license is for the state of Massachusetts.

Congratulations to David Cotter on receiving his Professional Engineer’s (P.E.) license.

David said, “The key for me was coming in to work on the weekends so I could study without any of the normal work or home distractions. It really helped me to focus on the material.” David’s P.E. is in environmental engineering. Way to go, David!
