Anna Campbell, EIT,
a
water resources engineer at
Wright Water Engineers Inc.,
was presented the 2016 Young
Professional of the Year Award
by the
American Council of
Engineering Companies
of
Colorado.
The honor recognizes the
outstanding talents, skills and
abilities the next generation of
engineering leaders, age 30 or
younger, have shown on projects
that significantly impact public
welfare or further professional
development and growth.
Campbell initially worked
with Wright Water Engineers
on a contract basis, analyzing
water quality issues on law-
suit projects
because of
her modeling
abilities and
broad back-
ground in
the areas of
water quality,
floodplains,
hydrology,
wetlands
and fluid
dynamics. After joining the
firm full time, she became an
important contributor to a
10-month effort to investigate
storm water discharges from
a Hawaii landfill during two
large storms. The U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice originally
alleged 13 felonies, including
conspiracy and multiple viola-
tions of the Clean Water Act.
Campbell was responsible
for research and analysis on
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit-
ting; construction practices
and scheduling; stormwa-
ter management practices,
including best management
practices; protection of public
health, safety and welfare;
municipal bio-solid character-
istics; and water-quality data
interpretation. Her efforts and
those of the team resulted in
an advantageous settlement
for the firm’s client, which
reduced the charges to two
misdemeanors.
Campbell earned a Bachelor
of Science in environmental
engineering and a Master of
Science in civil engineering
from the University of Colo-
rado Boulder.

Adolfson & Peterson Con-
structionpackaged anddistrib-
uted 5,965 pounds of nonper-
ishable food and hygiene items
for FoodBank of the Rockies as
part of an annual GivingDrive.
AP sponsored the drive and
job sites competed for which
location could collect the
most for the cause. In the end,
employees came together to
provide more than 6,000 meals
for families in need.
Each donation box was
designed to become a care
package for a family in need.
More than 300 boxes were
packaged to give 300 families
in need a box of nonperish-
able food items and common
hygienic items. Over 50 AP
employees packaged the boxes
and loaded theminto awaiting
semitrailer for delivery.
The packaging event created
opportunities for employees to
implement creative lean meth-
ods on how to eliminate waste
in a production process while
having fun.
“With the various charities
AP supports, the Giving Drive
is a favorite and it was amaz-
ing to see everyone look for-
ward to the annual tradition
and collect more food than
the previous year,” said Tom
Horsting, AP’s regional vice
president. “There was a lot of
laughter while everyone was
stuffing boxes.”
The boxes as well as mon-
etary donations collected were
delivered to Food Bank of the
Rockies, which provides food
for more than 411,000 people
annually.
The Food Bank of the Rock-
ies is one of the largest private
hunger relief organizations in
the Rocky Mountain region
and contributes 96 cents of
every dollar toward food dis-
tribution. Delivering the dona-
tions to the Food Bank of the
Rockies’ warehouse saved the
nonprofit hundreds of dollars
in fuel and labor costs.

are bringing value to our com-
munity by giving people a
chance to take in professional
soccer in their own backyard.

in the Springs for almost 50
years – it’s our home. We want
people to get out to the stadi-
umand be a part of something
