Katherine Scarlett, a top environmental policy advisor in the Trump White House, has departed, an official confirmed to The Hill.

Scarlett chaired the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), where she led a rollback of federal environmental standards for new infrastructure projects.

According to Bloomberg Government, which first reported her exit, Scarlett is headed to consulting firm CGCN Group.

Rachael McNitt, who is the CEQ’s chief of staff, is serving as its acting chair, an administration official told The Hill.

CEQ is in charge of implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act, which mandates environmental reviews of construction projects.
