Uhhhhhh...
Nothing new. As a Safety Health and Environmental Manager at a plant, we had this dagger hanging over us, especially after the Clean Air Reauthorization Act of 1990. There were very tight and specific provisons of criminal implications of even the most inert of violations. This Act also created provisons under the Act's Title V that our facilities had to self report violations on a semi-annual basis.
This self disclosure was set to protect the sites from criminal exposure. BUT.... If I knowlingly did not disclose, I was subject to criminal charges. Can you see any wonder I retired at the minimum age of 55? Really got tired of this shit.
