For those that are wondering robbery implies force or threat of force to obtain somthing of value where as burglary there is no threat or act of force.

I work in a mill located in Oregon without giving much identifiable info. And there are 2 sides. First, often times EPA and DEQ will push for registration without any understanding of impact and that puts companies on the defensive. This causes them to make changes that skirt the system or do something else that makes them "technically" compliant. One example is Cleaner Air Oregon.

Infact, major changes came to Oregon in the last couple years pertaining to HCHO emissions. EPA has zero understanding at how we operate and as a result the new "standard" is actually more lenient than what it was historically.

Corporate money is partially to blame but incompetent governing bodies are mostly to blame, least ways in my industry.

How do you feel about how Corporations have sponsored speech and do you think the government should step in and create protections on forum style media?

Sure, but enforcement isn't really what I was talking about. It's more how certain equipment operates, how we calculate it's impact and limits, and how much capital new regs force a company to work out. That's what's lacking.

The vast majority of EPA and DEQ enforcement is all company self reported.

Basically. I don't really want to give specifics either. I value my job.
