Georgia Power’s Isaaq Drumgoole Appointed to Erosion and Sediment Control Overview Council by Governor Brian Kemp
Georgia Power is proud to announce that Isaaq Drumgoole, senior environmental specialist for Georgia Power, has been appointed to the Erosion and Sediment Control Overview Council by Governor Brian Kemp. The appointment, effective Sept. 22, 2025, highlights Drumgoole’s expertise and commitment to environmental stewardship.
Drumgoole, a graduate of Savannah State University and Fort Valley State University, brings over a decade of environmental experience to the council from his time with Fulton County, the City of Atlanta, and Georgia Power. His career reflects a deep passion for preserving natural resources and a steadfast dedication to advancing environmental policies.
“It’s definitely an honor,” said Drumgoole. “Serving as a member on this board allows me to provide guidance on best management practices for implementing erosion and sediment control plans within Georgia’s erosion and sedimentation control programs, particularly those that will impact electric utilities and other industries across the state. I was excited for my mother, wife, and kids to see me stand before the governor taking the oath and know they are proud of me.”
In his new role, Drumgoole will collaborate with industry leaders to shape the future of Georgia’s environmental landscape. His appointment follows the retirement of Georgia Power’s Ronny Just, marking a new chapter in the council’s efforts to outline best management practices and regulatory requirements that protect natural resources during land-disturbing activities.
Reflecting on his appointment, Drumgoole shared, “I’m an environmentalist and biologist at heart in my practice. This position to influence construction to maintain environmental integrity, it really does mean a lot. I’m very passionate about the work that I do.”
Looking ahead, Drumgoole aims to bring fresh perspectives and positive change to the council. “I want to learn how different industries interpret the rules and regulations,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and innovation.
Georgia Power congratulates Isaaq Drumgoole on this well-deserved appointment and looks forward to his continued contributions to environmental policy and sustainability.
