PORTLAND—Preti Flaherty’s Managing Partner, David Van Slyke, has been reappointed by Governor Janet T. Mills to the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC). Van Slyke is one of five Maine Commissioners and thirty-five total Commissioners from the seven member states.

NEIWPCC is a regional commission helping Northeast states preserve and enhance water quality. The Commission engages and convenes water quality professionals and other stakeholders across New England and New York to collaborate on clean water and environmental science challenges across shared regions, ecosystems, and areas of expertise.

Since NEIWPCC’s formation in 1947, Commissioners have played a critical role in setting NEIWPCC’s priorities, evaluating staff programs and projects, and representing their state’s interests. Each state’s delegation typically consists of leaders and stakeholders from its environmental and health agencies, and highly experienced individuals from outside state government.

David Van Slyke is one of New England’s leading figures in environmental law and policy. He is a nationally recognized environmental lawyer with a distinguished career at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a decades-long tenure as Chair of Preti Flaherty’s Environmental Group. He is actively involved in all aspects of Preti’s environmental practice.
