EPA Administrator Carol Browner presented Randall with the Mathias Medal at the annual Chesapeake Executive Council meeting, held this year in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Browner praised Randall for his research and education efforts, singling out his contributions in the area of biological nutrient reduction technology for waste treatment plants.

Randall is current chair of the Chesapeake Bay Program's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee, and is widely known for his leadership in applying high quality science to answer practical needs.

The Mathias Medal was established to recognize researchers both for excellence in marine science and for fundamental contributions to our overall understanding of the Chesapeake. It is named for Charles "Mac" Mathias, former U.S. Senator from Maryland who is often called the "father" of the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort.
