The Washington state Department of Ecology has promoted John Temple to a waste management section manager position.
The job opened up when a prior section manager, Eddie Holbrook was promoted to deputy program manager, according to an Ecology spokesperson.
Temple’s new post was announced May 7 by Program Manager Stephanie Schleif during a meeting of the Hanford Advisory Board. Ecology is the state regulator that monitors the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site.
Temple has been with Ecology since 2015 and his prior positions include environmental scientist.
