The U.S. Senate today confirmed Steven Herman as EPA Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and David Gardiner as EPA Assistant Administrator for Policy, Planning and Evaluation.

"Joining the EPA senior leadership team are two outstanding managers with extensive environmental experience. Their credentials demonstrate their determination to protect our health and resources. They share my desire to build consensus, improve regulatory efficiency and integrate pollution prevention into all aspects of the agency's policies," Administrator Carol Browner said.

Gardiner held various positions with the Sierra Club for the past 15 years and during that time worked closely with government organizations and private citizens on environmental projects.

For the past decade, Gardiner was Sierra Club Legislative Director in Washington, D.C., and was a leader among environmental organizations in lobbying for the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, as well as a national energy policy, wilderness protection and the two principal federal waste laws. From 1978 to 1983, he was involved in environmental legislation, the education and mobilization of grassroots activists and the coordination of communications. He worked in the San Francisco office of the Sierra Club from 1978 to 1981.

Gardiner, 38, graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1977 with a degree in History.
