Earlier this year, we released our ESG Report, showcasing Samuel’s key environmental, social, and governance goals and our progress. A primary focus for 2022 and beyond was water consumption and wastewater management.

One of our focus areas for 2022 and beyond was water consumption and wastewater output. Today, we are happy to share that our Sierra Aluminum anodizing and painting operations in Fontana, CA was recently recognized by the Inland Empire Utility Agency’s Pretreatment and Source Control (PTSC) group for achieving 100% compliance with our wastewater discharge permit. 

The PTSC aims to manage industrial wastewater discharges, ensuring compliance with NPDES standards, protecting the public and the environment, and recovering treatment operation costs.  

We would like to say a special thank you to our wastewater operators, whose unwavering commitment to environmental compliance makes accomplishments like this possible.
