ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, selected Roseville, Minn., resident Gary Wolf as one of its three Civil Servants of the Year this year.
The St. Paul District presents this award annually to the top three or four of its 700 employees. Wolf, who's worked for the Corps of Engineers for more than 13 years, is a civil engineer in the district’s design branch.
Wolf received this award in recognition for his outstanding technical leadership on several major flood damage reduction projects including the proposed Fargo, N.D./Moorhead, Minn., diversion channel and the Devils Lake, N.D., embankment project. He consistently exhibited a drive for excellence not only in the design and function of the overall projects, but also in the quality of the plans and specifications that he produced.
“Gary is an exceptional civil engineer. He is a model of professionalism in all aspects of his interactions with others,” said his supervisor Jim Mosner. “Project managers, project sponsors and his own peers consistently commend him for his technical leadership and guidance.”
Wolf will receive his award at the 36th Annual Minnesota Federal Civil Servant of the Year Awards in St. Paul, Minn., May 3.
The nearly 700 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, employees working at more than 40 sites in five upper-Midwest states serve the American public in the areas of environmental enhancement, navigation, flood damage reduction, water and wetlands regulation, recreation sites and disaster response. Through the Corps’ Fiscal Year 2011 $175 million budget, nearly 2,800 non-Corps jobs were added to the regional economy as well as $271 million to the national economy.
