Industrial Waste Manager – Hampton Roads Sanitary District, Virginia

Mr. Strohmeyer manages the administrative operations of HRSD’s Industrial Waste Division and oversees the Industrial Waste Division’s database. He has been employed by HRSD since 1973. Mr. Strohmeyer is a member of the Virginia Association of Municipal Wastewater Agency’s Pretreatment sub-committee, a member of the Virginia Water Environment Association’s Industrial Wastes & Pretreatment Committee and a member of the State of Virginia’s Common Sense Initiative Team. Mr. Strohmeyer is also a member of the North Carolina Pretreatment Dinosaur Club.

Mr. Strohmeyer is a regular attendee of the NC-PC Annual Pretreatment Conference and even an occasional attendee of regular NC-PC meetings. He has acted as a moderator for the conference’s break-out sessions, has been a speaker at more than one conference, and on at least one occasion, was drafted to help count the ballots during an election. However, possibly his most significant contribution has been his behind-the-scenes involvement, acting as an unofficial liaison between the NC-PC and AMSA. It was Mr. Strohmeyer’s guidance that allowed the NC-PC MP&M subcommittee to successfully focus its energy into providing useful and significant comments and data to the EPA in response to the MP&M Proposed Rule and then again to the MP&M NODA. Then, as well as now, Mr. Strohmeyer ensures that the NC-PC receives the most up-to-date information regarding the activities of the EPA and AMSA. Mr. Strohmeyer also provided editing resources for both the MP&M and the Meat Products comments authored by the NC-PC.
