Ohio EPA OWB regs update

[Butch(OH)]

Seems the Ohio EPA got lots of mail protesting their proposed ban of some certain OWBs in certain areas. They are now rewriting the proposed regs to answer concerns. I am thrilled that someone in government actually listened to the people and that lots of people actually got off their duffs and wrote the government.

You mean something actually made it through the machine??!! That is good news didn't expect that but in the times we are in you can't complain about people wanting to do hard work and invest money in at least curbing their use of "foreign oil" ! I know burning tires/plastic ect. can't go on but as with most stuff I bet a high percentage of people are responsible and their has to be a happy medium!! good news

Glad to hear it, didn't want them giving my state any more " GREAT IDEA'S" hope it is more realistic this time. Good job to all who wrote, called and e-mailed.
