News Georgia EPD Director Carol Couch to resign
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 7:45 PM
After nearly six years on the job, Georgia Environmental Protection Division Director Carol Couch will step down from her post on Oct. 26 and move into academia.
In an email to colleagues, Couch thanked the men and women of the agency tasked with monitoring and protecting the state's water, air and land. She also noted the challenges the state has faced — droughts, floods and budget crunches — in her last few years.
"On behalf of the [Georgia Department of Natural Resources board], I want to thank Dr. Couch for her service," DNR board Chair Bill Carruth said in a statement released by the EPD. "Her technical expertise, professionalism and dedication to environmental stewardship have been an asset to the Department of Natural Resources."
In December, Couch will join the University of Georgia's College of Environment and Design. Gov. Sonny Perdue and the DNR board are expected to appoint her successor next week.
