2018 Professional of
the Year Award
Ed Taylor
Department of Safety and Professional Services
Ed was the around when soil was first formed. It is in his blood. He has contributed to the POWTS program in Wisconsin since 1991, when he started out as a Wastewater Specialist with ILHR, and later with DSPS. He was instrumental in assisting in converting both government and the private sector from percolation tests to morphological evaluations back in the day. Recently, he has provided hands on training to both the private sector and county employees on soils and design of POWTS, which had been lacking. In the words of Karl Jennrich, "Ed is the last of the Jedi warriors of soils, very knowledgeable, helpful to the public and to counties." Thanks Ed!
