Monitoring Water
Hampton, New Hampshire
AJ Nonwovens Hampton has been monitoring their wastewater for years. In close collaboration with the town, this site follows specific conditions and ensures to compliance with local requirements and permits.
Hampton associates test both sewer discharge points and stormwater outlet points. Regular samples are taken at several locations and sent to a lab for testing. In addition, once a year, a third-party conducts testing to verify accuracy.
Water usage is also monitored on a weekly basis. Monthly walkthroughs are conducted of the grounds to look for potential issues or improvement points in the storm water system.
This monitoring, sampling, and lab testing ensure that AJ Nonwovens Hampton is environmentally responsible.
Reusable Water Bottles
At AstenJohnson, we encourage the use of reusable bottles instead of plastic. Water dispensers have been installed at many sites to ease the transition between plastic and reusable water bottles. This is one of the small things we can contribute to being more environmentally friendly.
