Congress should swiftly confirm a nominee to replace EPA’s top water official, two groups focused on carbon dioxide removal said Tuesday.
Radhika Fox, assistant administrator for water, announced in January that she would leave after three years at the helm of the water office. Although the Biden administration has not nominated a replacement, it’s critical that the post be filled “expeditiously,” the groups said in a letter to lawmakers on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
Signed by the Carbon Removal Alliance and Carbon180, the letter was sent to Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), who is chair of the committee, and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), the committee’s ranking member.
