Derek Long, DLSMB electrician, stepped up and solved several problems with the programmable logic controllers at the Tomahawk Creek Plant. Not only did he correct the initial problems staff were having, but he delved deeper into the system and diagnosed several other issues, all of which he corrected. Consequently, the plant is fully prepared to maintain proper treatment if there are power issues. He also saved time and expense of going outside for repairs. Great job Derek!
