Around 2004 I was exposed to an opportunity to become an EPA Lobbyist for a company in the fuel and water storage tank construction and maintenance portion of the construction industry. The ease of the job, meaning the complete corporate capture of that portion of the EPA, was so comprehensive the Lobbyist position was eliminated during my exposure to the opportunity. Industry dictates any regulation, and don't really bother with any enforcement. This was during a portion of my career when I considered leaving tech, and the intentional disregard of any ethics or public safety is one of the factors behind my return to tech. Needless to say, I get all household water from a private source, and I do not trust the crops in any areas with underground fuel storage sharing the water table with nearby farms.
