The latest episode of Lancaster Clean Water Partners Clean Water Conversations podcast features a conversation with EPA Region 3 Administrator Adam Ortiz guided by Allyson Gibson, Executive Director, and Kenn Bennett, Communications Coordinator, from the Partners.
He spoke at length about his experiences, his thoughts on Pennsylvania's progress toward the 2025 and 2040 deadlines and the importance of collaboration to achieve our collective clean water goals.
It was a casual conversation that was both informative and entertaining, including a round of trivia where Mr. Ortiz was the first to phone a friend.
Following his appearance on the podcast, Mr. Ortiz served as the Keynote speaker for our Spring Full Partners Meeting at Woodcrest Villas in Lancaster.
