Top EPA Drinking Water Official Retiring; No Successor Or Acting Director Named For Career Position

[hatrack]

Last month, Dr. Peter Grevatt, director of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW), announced his retirement from the agency after more than 30 years of service.

Grevatt first joined EPA’s Office of Water in 2002 as the Acting Director for the Standards and Health Protection Division and has led the OGWDW since 2012.

Grevatt has been a recurring face at water sector meetings and conferences in Washington, D.C. and around the country, providing updates on EPA’s goals and agendas each year. His last day is expected to be Dec. 14. EPA has yet to announce a successor or acting director. The position of OGWDW director is a career staff position and therefore does not require a presidential appointment.

At the OGWDW, Grevatt was responsible for the development and implementation of national drinking water standards, oversight and funding of state drinking water programs and the implementation of source water protection and underground injection control programs to protect public health nationwide.

1. This was from two years ago.

A lot of those buildings look much worse today.

2. How many positions were never filled to begin with??

I recall that we're still missing ambassadors for major nations - and now that those already in numerous positions are leaving, nobody's available to take their place. No one wants to be associated with this train wreck of a failing administration.
