Theodore L. Hall, B.S. 1973 Civil Engineering, is now working for the Bureau of Reclamation and in May 2009, he was one of forty people to receive the award from Secretary Salazar for the Missouri River Bank Stabilization near Vermillion South Dakota. The Secretary presented the multi-group project with one of 26 national awards to individuals and organizations at a ceremony at Interior headquarters in Washington, D.C. to honor "those who achieve natural resource goals in collaboration and partnership with others."

"The Partners in Conservation Awards demonstrate that our greatest conservation legacies often emerge when stakeholders, agencies, and citizens from a wide range of backgrounds come together to address shared challenges," the Secretary said. "This particular partnership developed a plan to protect the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System's infrastructure while stabilizing and enhancing the bank of the Missouri River within an area designated as a National Recreational River," the Secretary said. "Cooperation produced a highly successful design that helps ensure delivery of water to three states as well as environmental protection of the river."
