huh?
BennyI worked for EPA for 32+ years and consequently have a pretty firm grip of the process, system and legislation. Once you sift through the jargon, it comes down to a simple mistake the 1986 Congress made whereby they broadly included all marine vessel discharges in the 86 Amendments to the CWA as an act of omission. Some would say negligence but that is too unkind.The Agency has around 20,000 employess, all of whom would have to devote their full time to vessel permitting under the current court ruling and I think all of us agree there are more important and valuable activities to which their time should be devoted.Having said the above, your comments make no sense to me - the Agency doesn't create legislation, they mearly promulgate implementing regulation and in this case choose not to for very good reason(s). It has nothing to do with the Constitution, wrong law, legal principal or how well or ill-informed I am.
