Administrator Scott Pruitt Environmental Protection Agency Office of the Administrator 1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20006
Dear Administrator Pruitt:
On behalf of Newtrient LLC and its leadership, which is representative of over half the milk produced in the U.S. comprising over 20,000 U.S. dairy farms, I write in strong support of Mr. Ii_e_x_. e_-_p_er_so_n_al_p_ri_va_cy_i: nterest in a federal position at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Since we had the pleasure to meet back in April, you may recall that Newtrient LLC represents dairy industry efforts to reduce non-point source emissions via an unsubsidized, public/private, market-driven approach. It is the first organization of its kind focused on reducing the environmental footprint of dairy farming and making it economically viable to do so.
Newtrient and its key industry leaders support Mrfi7~
of his excellent qualifications
and experience in environmental protection and familiarity with the agricultural sector's key role
..as.AJQartngHn.thai effort. While serving as L______________ Ek 6 r
______________ I
i ex. 6 - Personal Privacy demonstrated leadership in developing creative solutions to meet our nation's
non-point source emissions challenges, especially in the water quality sector. Throughout Mr. career within the agricultural industry and during his time as the J Ex. 6 - Personal Privacy
for theEx. 6 - Personal Privacy
Kas
demonstrated'anabfiity toTbllaborateTdnsto
beneficial outcomes for the environment and the economy. Md
iwould be a key asset in
helping the EPA to further a culture of environmental protection through market-driven
solutions, rather than relying solely on command and control.
Members of my staff have known Mr.l
for many years and he is well known to be a person
of the highest moral character, integrity arid'ethics--critical qualities that are vital for a federal
position at the Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA's future regulatory approach towards balancing compliance, enforcement and economic
viability will have wide-spread impact on the future of the agricultural industry, and thus, the
availability and affordability of food. In order to fully realize the benefits of market-based
compliance regimes, we are looking to the EPA to draft people with the creativity and vision to
help the nation achieve its goals of environmental stewardship and sustainability. We believe that
MrJ
will be a great asset in helping the EPA achieve its mission.
We welcome any further questions that you have about Mr.
look forward to working
with your agency to drive economic value and good envirorimenrai outcomes.
