Senate confirms Miano as DEP director in West Virginia
The Senate confirmed Michael Miano as head of the Division of Environmental Protection by a 29 to 2 vote despite environmental groups planning a state court challenge over a potential conflict of interest. Opponents warned water permits issued during his tenure could be illegal under the Clean Water Act while supporters argued he does not sign permits and the DEP director role does not control permit issuance.
