Deputy Area Manager Hired

Stuart Stanger has accepted the post of Deputy Area Manager for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Snake River Area Office-East headquartered in Burley, Idaho. Stanger replaces Steve Brawley, who relocated to Reclamation’s Regional Office in Boise, Idaho.

Stanger has a solid work history of dealing with water and engineering issues in the Pacific Northwest. He will manage, direct, and coordinate the overall management of resources and personnel for the facilities within the Burley Office’s organizational structure.

His responsibility will cover activities at Palisades Dam, with field stations at Ririe and Jackson Dams; and Minidoka Dam, with field stations at American Falls and Littlewood Dams.

Stanger came to Reclamation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Portland, Oregon. "I’m looking forward to working closely with our customers to fully understand their concerns and how we can serve them better," Stanger said.

He earned his master of business administration from the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington; a bachelor of science in civil engineering from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah; and an associate of science in general education from Weber State College in Ogden, Utah.

Stanger and his wife, Jeannie, have five daughters and two grandchildren. The family will be making their home in Burley, Idaho. The Ogden, Utah, native says he enjoys snow skiing, water skiing, hunting and fishing.
