I agree with you that this is horrible. Devil's advocate- should the rule then not have excluded the exemption? I understand the company crying foul if they've been complying with rule as it's written. I know that the exceptions exist both for operational and political reasons. Can the EPA pass a new rule that includes no exemptions? Also, maybe exemptions should expire or be re-evaluated every n years.
- dexwiz 3y agoIf the EPA could instantly ban chemicals and disable specific verticals then it would be used as a weapon. Just lobby against your competition's process, and kill them the moment the regulation is enacted. Regulations should be strong, but hard won. Also PFAS are legitimately useful in many industrial contexts. But maybe we shouldn't be using them in places like food packaging that people reheat in microwaves.
