EPA Says New Enforcement Policy Is 'Not a License to Pollute'

摘要

The EPA said Monday it decided last week to temporarily relax some enforcement to prevent agency staff from being tied up with questions about monitoring and reporting requirements amid the coronavirus pandemic.Since the imposition of social-distancing orders, the Environmental Protection Agency has been "inundated with questions from both state regulators and the regulated community about how to handle the current extraordinary situation" in which contractors can't travel and employees are forced to stay at home.
