Meanwhile, actual environmental issues will suffer as they are ignored
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it is seeking public comment on its proposal to address environmental justice, climate change, and PFAS contamination in its National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives (NECIs). Every four years, EPA selects national initiatives to focus resources on serious and widespread environmental problems where federal enforcement can make a difference. The primary objective of these initiatives is to protect human health and the environment by holding polluters accountable through enforcement and assisting regulated entities to return to compliance.
EPA proposes to continue four of the six current national initiatives during the FY 2024-2027 cycle and return two of the current national initiatives to the core enforcement and compliance program. In addition, EPA proposes to address environmental justice concerns in all NECIs, and to add two new NECIs on mitigating climate change and addressing PFAS pollution, for the FY 2024-2027 cycle.
“The National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives identify serious environmental challenges where EPA can make a difference through a coordinated national approach,” said Larry Starfield, Acting Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. “We look forward to receiving public comment on our proposals for FY 2024-2027, which include both familiar and emerging issues. Of particularly importance, we have built environmental justice considerations firmly into every initiative in order to protect vulnerable and overburdened communities.”
They say they are adding these on to things like “Creating Cleaner Air for Communities by Reducing Excess Emissions of Harmful Pollutants”, but, these real issues will be secondary concerns while focusing on the environmental justice and ‘climate change’ scams, because dealing with real environmental issues just doesn’t give the EPA enough totalitarian power. They aren’t pushing the Waters Of The US insanity because it’s wise policy, but, to give the federal government ultimate control over private, local, and state property. And while the EPA focuses on this cult idiocy, you end up with real environmental issues like the Flint water supply, which, surprise, still hasn’t been fixed.
I’ve mentioned many a time that I have a big problem with the way the climate cult, and agencies that follow the cult agenda, reduces actual environmental issues, puts them under the climate cult banner, rather than focusing on them like they deserve. Even if the temperature increase since 1850 is mostly caused by human activities, why are all the policies about higher taxes/fees and government authoritarianism?
[…] Pirates Cove: And then, the EPA Fu#@ed us […]
The EPA needs to be completely defunded. They are a haven for commies and mentally defective activists.
Some questions just answer themselves.

Before going to sleep at night remember to check twice under your bed for “commies”
Alan have you been paying taxes every year? Trump is too smart to pay taxes every year.
Johnny-before you go to bed tonight, be sure to check under the bed for any excess evil CO2….
There are two drainage ditches on my farm, one of which runs from the drain field for the septic system. There is also a stagnant, useless pond. I wonder: are these now federal property as Waters Of The US?
As I understand, the government has control. Dynamite in the middle of the night might solve the issue.
