Environmental Compliance
Why do we need to concentrate on environmental compliance?
• The EPA typically has the authority to issue much larger fines.
• If you knowingly or intentionally violated a regulation, you can be sent to prison.
Environmental Compliance
Why More Difficult?
1. The rules are much more complicated.– Safety Issues based on Common Sense
– Environmental Issues based on Science
2. Each State has their own EPA enforcement agency.
3. Audits are much more random and unpredictable.
