Department of Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger this week named George Jugovic Jr. director of the DEP’s southwest regional office in Pittsburgh.
“The southwest region faces environmental challenges on a daily basis and I am confident that George can effectively direct our efforts to protect the health of our citizens in the region and its resources,” said Secretary Hanger. “George has spent more than two decades defending the environment, making him an excellent choice for the post of regional director.”
The regional director serves as the top administrator in the DEP regional office, responsible for overseeing the Air Quality, Waste Management, Water Management, Water Supply Management, Environmental Cleanup, Emergency Response, Energy and Technology Deployment and Watershed Management programs.
Jugovic most recently served as senior counsel for the southwest office managing enforcement litigation for the department. His experience in environmental protection spans two decades.
Jugovic is a graduate of the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College and The Pennsylvania State University.
