(MPRN-Lansing) Governor Rick Snyder has tapped Keith Creagh to serve as interim director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

That’s after Dan Wyant stepped down over mistakes that resulted in high lead levels in Flint’s tap water.

Creagh has served as director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources since 2012. He previously headed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
