Scott Anderson Retires

(1/11/19)–Scott Anderson retired as Director of the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control after 38 years of dedicated service to the State of Utah. He began his career as an environmental scientist in 1980. Scott was great at finding workable solutions when complicated rules impact Utah businesses, ensuring that businesses prospered while achieving compliance. Just prior to retirement, Scott was actively involved with development of new solid waste disposal fees that will impact over 250 facilities. Scott worked hard to ensure all impacted facilities had a voice and were treated fairly. Scott served as Director for the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste from 2010 to 2015 and continued on as Director when the Division was combined with Radiation Control creating the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control. Rusty Lundberg has been appointed to serve as Interim Director of the Division.
