"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has hired a Pennsylvania environmental official to lead the program dedicated to cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay’s pollution.

Dana Aunkst, deputy secretary for water programs at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, will take over later this month as director of the Chesapeake Bay Program, the agency said in a statement.

The program works with six states and Washington, D.C., on a number of efforts related to the iconic bay and its watershed, like its major “pollution diet” and a pollution enforcement strategy."
