Default Re: NEW NHRA enviorenmental policy READ IT

This is just the start folks, Now that the EPA is involved it will in California get worse.
If anyone from CA knows what happens when the EPA is involved and they will be watching, soon we will have to carry or have a spill containment kit and have any clear type spray bottles marked with what is inside them. This is just the begging unfortunately I have been in the Automotive and Heavy Equipment industry for over 15 years and in CA we can not even work on Piece of Heavy equipment outside the shop and have a spill of any type without a chance of a fine should a EPA rep catch it.
Ive worked in the field in the dirt,If we spill we have to contain and remove the dirt into a sealed 55 gallon drum and have it sent away as Haz Mat waist and even then we are responsible for the movement of that barrel till it reaches its destination.
I have also heard that all other states besides CA are going to be following these same procedures in the EPA standards both for Chemical and Air born Contaminates.
If NHRA is going to police this to try to stay under the radar so be it, I think its better to be proactive about this rather than wait till the ---t hit's the fan so to speak... just my 2 cents
