Ex-EPA chief: Agency will need '20 to 30' years to recover from Pruitt
Source: The Hill
A former administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicted that it could take the agency 20 to 30 years to regain its full capability after the Trump administration cut its budget and repealed many of its regulations.
Carol Browner, who served as EPA administrator from 1993 to 2001, during the Clinton administration, told The Huffington Post that the agency would have to start from the beginning if the Trump administration is able to successfully repeal the Obama-era Clean Power Plan.
Under Pruitt, what theyre doing is conscientiously tearing the place down, Browner said, referring to current EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

Other former EPA administrators also told The Huffington Post that the agency had been damaged under Pruitt.
