DEP Names Justin Dula Acting Director For Environmental Justice

On March 11, the Department of Environmental Protection named Justin Dula as the Acting Director of the
Office of Environmental Justice.

Dula, an environmental justice advocate, worked in OEJ as the eastern regional coordinator since 2018, and is the successor to former OEJ director Allison Acevedo, who departed from the role at the beginning of 2022. 

Dula was appointed to the role earlier this month and will dually function in the eastern regional coordinator position until a replacement is hired.

“I am honored to further efforts to meet the needs identified by communities facing environmental justice concerns in this new role,” said Dula. “I am excited to build on the increased outreach efforts to help continue to better understand community concerns and work to help move forward solutions.”
