DNREC names new head of Division of Air Quality

May 31, 2021

Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Secretary Shawn M. Garvin has named Angela Marconi the new director of DNREC’s Division of Air Quality.

For the last four years at DNREC, Marconi, an environmental engineer and program manager, has been responsible for all air permits issued in the state, overseeing a team that includes managers, engineers and support staff.

“The Division of Air Quality’s Engineering and Compliance section – which includes all air quality permitting, compliance and enforcement work – has done an outstanding job under her management,” said Garvin, in a statement May 26.

Before coming to DNREC in 2015, Marconi, who holds a master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Delaware, with a concentration in environmental engineering, worked in engineering positions with Cabe Associates and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority.

Marconi is succeeding David Fees, who retired at the end of May after joining DNREC in 1995 as an engineer.

In his 26-year career at DNREC, Fees managed the Toxics Release Inventory reporting program, the air emissions inventory program, and the Airshed Planning and Inventory Program, developing regulations and the state implementation plan under the Clean Air Act. 

He became director of DNREC’s Division of Air Quality in 2018.
