A blog post yesterday http://www.mitchellwilliamslaw.com/arkansas-department-of-environmental-quality-reorganization-update-office-of-land-resources-announcement noted that the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) Office of Land Resources (“OLR”) released a notice describing both its formation and the identity/background of its Senior Managers.
The post noted that the Senior Manager position in the Compliance and Emergency Response Programs section is vacant.
While vacant, the OLR announcement also noted that the section is currently managed by Branch Managers Penny Wilson and Scott McWilliams noting:
Ms. Wilson is responsible for Emergency Response, Site Assessment, and all Hazardous Waste Compliance. Ms. Wilson graduated from the University of Arkansas at Monticello in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Health & Physical Education. She has been employed at ADEQ since 1991, bringing 29 years of experience in working with hazardous wastes.
