Bill > HCR141

This concurrent resolution honors Edward M. Hathaway, a dedicated Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) engineer who made significant contributions to environmental cleanup projects. The resolution highlights Hathaway's professional journey, noting that he initially studied business before returning to school to earn a degree in environmental science, which led to a 36-year career at the EPA. During his time at the agency, Hathaway was particularly known for his ability to bring together different parties to solve complex environmental challenges, and he received multiple awards, including "Mentor of the Year". In Vermont, he was especially notable for supervising Superfund cleanup projects at the Ely Copper Mine in Vershire and the Elizabeth Mine in Strafford, where he helped secure over $100 million for environmental remediation. The resolution acknowledges Hathaway's professional achievements and personal qualities, recognizing that he battled pancreatic cancer before passing away at age 63. The General Assembly extends its sincere condolences to his family, which includes his wife Ann-Marie Burke, his sons, and his parents, and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to his family members.
