When the agency originally proposed tougher emissions limits, Denka had a longer timeframe to comply. But the EPA sued the company last year, finding the facility posed an “imminent and substantial endangerment” to the nearby community. [...] The company wants the EPA’s 90-day deadline put on hold and says the agency won’t consider lengthening that timeline until Denka sets out an emissions reduction plan, according to the filing.“ [...] (Denka) will need at least two years to plan, develop, test and install the controls required by the rule,” the company said in a court filing.

The EPA has been working on this rule since Biden took office. You knew it was coming, you just hoped there would be a change of administration before you had to comply with the ruling (so you wouldn't have to comply at all, which is also what you're hoping for with your current delay tactics). Sucks to be you - your lack of planning does not constitute my emergency, etc ....

Good?

Won't someone think of the criminals? /s

This is a company trying to use it's employees as hostages.

Wouldn't the EPA shut them down anyway at the deadline? Thats what the EPA would do right? They would follow through with their regulations right?

I think that is the idea right?

Hmm, now where's that 'oh no...anyway' meme gone?

It says a lot when their defense it "other companies are allowed to be shitty, why can't I?" The government shouldn't have to tell you how to run your business but here we are, too many businesses that won't take responsibilities for their operations so now they are regulated. Guess what assholes , the government wouldn't have you do this if your company was operating ethically to begin with.

Time to break up monopolies before they cause the next great depression

Sounds like the deadline is working. If their situation is so badly fucked, they should shut down.

Ok, bye.

Good riddance.

Okay, good that's on record now, a clear statement of intent. So we can record current assets and responsibilities for when they close and fail to properly decommission the plant, the assets can be clawed back, right?

...right?

I love how companies get light little slaps on the wrist and, allowed to simply pay tiny fines, and maybe possibly correct the problem they created and ignored perhaps if they can eventually be bothered to get around to it, but if a person committed the crimes corporations are responsible for, they'd be in prison or executed, no question.

they ain't gonna shut it down.. not before some shenanigans involving new corporate entities, loads of debt, and a bankruptcy that ends up with the feds (taxpayers) with the clean-up bill.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Ok
