DNREC: Doing Nothing Really Encourages Confidence

I’m sure we can totally trust companies to go by the honor system when it comes to reporting violations, after all, they always jump to comply with clean air regulations the state passes. (COUGH COUGH)
This is so…typical…for our ridiculously dysfunctional state:
In Delaware, home of some of the biggest air polluters in the country, the state’s air quality management program remains underfunded and understaffed, leaving the reporting of violations up to the companies doing the polluting.
Now, think about it, as citizens, our speed driving down Delaware’s roads is monitored (probably about 2 million times) more than the harmful toxins like mercury spewing from “some of the biggest air polluters in the country.”

And? At least DNREC did not spend $ 21,000,000.00 for two piles of dirt. Perhaps DNREC could place someone on each pile with binoculars to watch the power plant?
