And so does Midwest! Having spent my life trying to create powerful solutions that will help control dust particle pollutants so the air we breathe and the water we drink is safer for our planet, I support the EPA on last weeks injunction and settlement.
The dust control industry as a whole has looked at stormwater regulations as an incredibly positive move to help reduce pollution and impove the safety and quality of our water. The enforcement of this settlement is a clear sign that the EPA is not fooling around.
