Quote:A regulation requiring manufacturing plants that deal in large quantities of contaminated water cycling to use steel or reinforced concrete holding tanks rather than large ponds. Multiple tanks rather than one large one would like mitigate the potential of a massive failure due to a large sinkhole if they were spaced enough apart. One example off the top of my head. 

 

Should this be a regulation? Not my call but I have spent over 15 years in the construction design field and deal with a lot of what seem like silly regulations but in the end they are all in place to lower the human or environmental cost should a myriad of different failures occur. I know that's not important to some people because money but that is the reason for most regulations.  

You could have saved yourself a lot of typing and just say close the business. That's what your plan would ultimately do. The cost of oversight and infrastructure alone would price the product out of the market. 

 

But I'm sure things like fertilizer aren't really important to you liberals. You can just go to the grocery stores where they make the food there, right?
