The Northwest Florida Daily News describes the latest efforts by the EPA to bankrupt state and local governments. Consider: the EPA consists of thousands of crackpots whose entire job revolves around dreaming up new ways to regulate you. Their latest brainstorm: 'Numeric Nutrient Standards' that will cost just one small city in Florida $32 million to implement.
A contentious federal rule regulating nutrients in Florida’s waterways could cost the city $32 million to implement, officials say... The Crestview City Council has joined cities across the state by approving a resolution that condemns the Environmental Protection Agency’s requirement titled Numeric Nutrient Standards... The regulation imposes water pollution standards critics say will be nearly impossible to meet.
...The EPA has singled out Florida for implementation of the rule, which is scheduled to take effect Nov. 14. Opponents say the agency is using the state as a guinea pig to test the new rules... Iannucci said an analysis of the EPA directive shows it requires the state to make spring water even cleaner than naturally occurring spring water already is, “which is technologically impossible.”
...The EPA agreed to set the rule to settle a lawsuit by environmental groups and to comply with federal law... The cost could be staggering if the new rule is implemented, Steele said... "The only way we could come close to it (the new guidelines) would be reverse osmosis," a process that could cost $32 million and that "still isn’t guaranteed to work," he said.
The EPA needs to be de-funded completely.
That will throw thousands of eco-Marxists out of work, which will force them to get real jobs. And learn how the private sector works.
And it will also reduce the EPA's carbon footprint.
