    Abstract:

    The Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA), located in southern New Jersey, is responsible for treating and managing waste in Atlantic County. At both its solid waste facility (Egg Harbor Township) and wastewater treatment facility (Atlantic City), the ACUA has successfully implemented initiatives including renewable energy projects to reduce emissions. These projects have also saved the Authority money. ACUA’s ability to carry out these projects as a government entity demonstrate that opportunities are available for businesses of all types to have an impact.
