The EPA really needs a smackdown to give them a reality check. Their science and mandates have long passed the point of diminishing returns as far as pollution is concerned. Some of the upper limits they mandate for toxic materials are swamped out by natural occurrences. In effect, they are trying to mandate limits on nature.

“Some of the upper limits they mandate for toxic materials are swamped out by natural occurrences.”

I’ve operated a public utility, water supply, for almost 30 years. Some levels can be met without too much expense, but those last few one hundredths of one percent, or even thousandths of one percent, cannot be met without vast expenditures. Water bills would rise by hundreds of percentage points. And with no real advantage to the people served.
