"The importance of...from a quick google search<br />"The importance of acting promptly upon knowledge pertaining to<br />existing hazards at water resources facilities is illustrated by an incident in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.54<br />In July of 1993, the City of Bethlehem hired a consultant to study the lab at the City’s wastewater<br />treatment facility. The consultant’s report found that tests on weekends, as required under federal<br />regulations, were not being conducted.<br />"Offi cials at the wastewater treatment facility sought additional employees and funds to conduct<br />the required tests. In the meantime, employees concealed the violations in self-monitoring reports<br />submitted to the state and EPA. In April 1994, an inspection by EPA discovered that tests were not<br />being conducted in accordance with EPA regulations. Moreover, during the EPA’s investigation,<br />it discovered that city offi cials did not correct the facility’s testing methods for nearly a year after<br />learning of the defi ciency.<br />Following EPA’s discovery, the City immediately corrected the violations."<br /><br />http://www.amwa.net/galleries/default-file/SecurityPublicationFinal2.pdf<br /><br />well the EPA needs to do more enforcementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-12710326266609033132016-08-17T16:25:00.954-04:002016-08-17T16:25:00.954-04:00" He indicated a risk assessment analysis was..."

He is highly qualified, and the fact that he is married to Lisa is being unfairly used against him by an anonymous coward. When I sued the county over the bond, he as by far the best witness they produced. Had they all been like him,I would have lost. <br /><br />As an engineer, he was always a straight shooter who told the truth, whether it hurt or helped. <br /><br />Bob Donchez and the City are lucky to have him.
