EPA Rewriting WOTUS With Help of Former Asst Oklahoma AG

She went from being an Assistant Attorney General out of law school in Oklahoma to now being in charge of the EPA’s rewrite of the Waters of the U.S. regulation.

Sarah Greenwalt is in charge of the massive project after Scott Pruitt took her and a few other Oklahomans with him to Washington to run the Environmental Protection Agency. She is a senior counsel at the agency.

However a report by Politico’s Morning Energy Report indicated that career EPA water staffers are actually doing most of the rewriting work. And it concerns Pruitt allies who fear the rewrite might not go the way they and other critics of the Obama administration’s WOTUS want.

Some of those critics would prefer the rewrite to be done by outside lawyers. Others say it would raise too many ethical questions.
