EPA to Regulate Moo Juice Spills the same as Oil Spills
2011-02-06
Two weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule that subjects dairy producers to the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure program, which was created in 1970 to prevent oil discharges in navigable waters or near shorelines. Naturally, it usually applies to oil and natural gas outfits. But the EPA has discovered that milk contains "a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil," as the agency put it in the Federal Register.

In other words, the EPA thinks the next blowout may happen in rural Vermont or Wisconsin. Other dangerous pollution risks that somehow haven't made it onto the EPA docket include leaks from maple sugar taps and the vapors at Badger State breweries.
Next up to be regulated Farts. They come under the Hazzardus Vapor Release regulations. They consist of gasp Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbon Monoxide, and several other icky compounds.
