That will never happen.
Local farm here dumps 8500+ gals/day of fryer oil and juice/wine waste in chit pit which then goes through methane/digester to be spread on fields when conditions are ok all with the blessing of the DEC.
 
The article is wrong anyway. The proposed regulation only apllies to amounts over 10,000 gallons.

14 tons of spilled Oreo cookies snarl Illinois traffic

MORRIS, Ill. (AP) — Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos has overturned, spilling the cookies still in their plastic sleeves into the median and roadway.

Illinois State Police Sgt. Brian Mahoney says the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on Interstate 80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median.

"The boxes came out of the trailer and boxes were ripped open," he said.

The crash about 50 miles southwest of Chicago remains under investigation.

Mahoney says no charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies
 
What is interesting, is that Congress has to ask an independent agency to modify regulation that seriously impacts the livelyhoods of an already overstressed segment of agriculture.

Last time I knew, the EPA was not one of the three branches empowered to make assinine law.

Milk Fat?
Whens the last time Milk fat contaminated anything other than some Vegans Latte?
 
Don't cry.
