Dennis McLerran to head EPA region 10

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Jan. 13 that Dennis J. McLerran has been selected to be the regional administrator for EPA’s region 10, which includes Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Pacific Northwest Indian Country.

The agency said regional administrators are responsible for managing regional activities under the direction of the EPA administrator, promoting state and local environmental protection efforts and serving as liaisons to state and local government officials. Regional administrators are tasked with ensuring EPA’s efforts to address the environmental crises of today are routed in science-based policies and programs, adherence to the rule of law and transparency.

McLerran has more than 20 years experience as an advocate, attorney and administrator and most recently served as executive director of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, a state-chartered regional agency that adopts and enforces air quality standards that protect the health of 3.5 million Washington residents.

As executive director McLerran led the development of an innovative strategy to reduce emissions at the ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Metro Vancouver.

Prior to that, McLerran served as city attorney for the City of Port Townsend and director of the Seattle Department of Construction and Land Use. McLerran received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and a J.D. from the Seattle University School of Law.
