The Bureau of Reclamation today named Brent Rhees to head its Salt Lake City-based Upper Colorado office:
As deputy regional director, Rhees managed several complex and high profile issues, including the Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Collaborative Program, dam safety modifications, implementation of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, the Colorado River Salinity Control Program and completion of the Animas La-Plata Project.
This isn’t a surprise. Lopez and Rhees were co-leads on the Ex Com of the MRGESA Collaborative Program. Together they were incapable of directing a meeting, much less this program. A program that has successfully exterminated its patient. But maybe that was the goal all along? The more things change, the more they stay the same.
