Lower EPA standards and regulations in California for water, trucking companies, and road/highway construstion companies

Created by S.S. on February 23, 2014

The standards the EPA set for concrete and asphalt companies are extremely costly and these companies normally can’t afford their demands and wind up moving to different states for work. Major trucking companies that transport certain things essential for living have to now replace their current engines with newer models that can cost between 10,000- 40,000 dollars and costs for newer trucks in general , the EPA says that costs will start at 50,000 dollars and will go up as the years go on. When it comes to their water standards, for example in Ventura County, if it rains, water goes to the river bottom and then flows into the ocean which is pointless because California is in a drought and desperately needs the water. Instead it should be diverted into lakes and reservoirs.
