#EmployeeShoutOut 🏆 Wayne Jepson is known for doing his job really well. In Zortman, where the Zortman-Landusky Mine operations and Pegasus Gold bankruptcy left behind the need for ongoing water treatment, Wayne regularly focuses his efforts on community education and outreach in his role as an environmental scientist for DEQ. With decades of experience under his belt, Wayne is a trusted source of information and ideas in DEQ’s oversight of the water treatment. At mining sites across the state, Wayne is regularly relied upon to explain complex topics to a variety of audiences in a meaningful and understandable way.

Hey, how's the fishing going? 🎣 It is World Water Quality Monitoring Day, so today we celebrate the people that have dedicated their life to this work! The water quality monitoring crew at DEQ sets off every summer to collect water quality samples to protect and improve rivers, streams, and lakes across the state. They collect data on nutrients, metals, and E. coli, and during the 2023 field season, the team collected nearly 7300 sample bottles! 🤯
