Monroe, OH – NORA member Valicor Environmental Services (“Valicor”), one of North America’s largest providers of non‐hazardous wastewater treatment services, has expanded its leading network of wastewater processing facilities through the acquisition of NORA member Spirit Services (“Spirit” or the “Company”).

Spirit operates a premier centralized wastewater treatment (“CWT”) facility located in Williamsport, Maryland, as well as oil processing and transfer facilities located in Williamsport and Buena Vista, Virginia, which also provide vacuum truck and filter recycling services to a wide range of customers throughout the mid‐Atlantic region. The Company currently has the capacity to further expand its wastewater treatment operations and will enable Valicor to become one of the leading wastewater treatment providers in the region.

Valicor continues to expand into additional geographies in order to better serve both new and existing customers. Spirit Services will play a critical role in building out our offerings of wastewater and other environmental solutions and we could not be more excited about this addition to the Valicor platform.”

Including the Spirit acquisition, Valicor has increased its number of centralized wastewater treatment plants from five to eleven in fifteen months and made substantial progress in building out a national footprint.

Tim Mathews, Co‐Owner and President of Spirit, stated, “I’m excited as the Valicor team is the ideal partner for us. I’m confident that they will continue to provide world‐class service to our existing customers while providing a bright future for our employees. I have been continually impressed by their deep understanding of the industry, our operations, and our valued customers.”
