WASHINGTON - Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt used an obscure provision in the Safe Drinking Water Act to hike the salaries of two close aides at the agency last month after the White House refused to boost their pay, according to two individuals with firsthand knowledge of the matter. Sarah Greenwalt and Millan Hupp - who serve as Pruitt's senior counsel and director of scheduling and advance, respectively - both worked with him in Oklahoma and are part of his inner circle at the EPA. Last month, he asked the White House Office of Presidential Personnel to give Greenwalt a 52 percent raise, bringing her salary to $164,200, and to award Hupp a nearly 33 percent increase, raising her salary to $114,590.
