NEIWPCC
Company Overview
NEIWPCC is a regional commission that helps the states of the Northeast preserve and advance water quality. We engage and convene water quality professionals and other interested parties from New England and New York to collaborate on water, wastewater, and environmental science challenges across the regions, ecosystems, and areas of expertise.
Company History
NEIWPCC’s roots stretch back to the post-World War II era, when an industrial and population boom was in full swing and pollutants often flowed unchecked into lakes, rivers, and bays. Congress recognized the need for states to coordinate in the fight against this growing threat. In 1947 Congress passed legislation allowing for the formation of interstate water pollution control commissions.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts initially formed NEIWPCC (originally called the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission). Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and New York State joined shortly thereafter.
The seven member states endowed NEIWPCC with responsibilities, power, jurisdiction, and financial support. NEIWPCC originally focused on creating water quality standards and classifications for interstate waters in the region. This led to addressing wastewater treatment standards and operator training.
