2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 What is your favorite back to school memory? “I’m pretty sure, like everyone else, I was excited to see my friends.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “My favorite memory was from Gearhart Elementary School. Right before school started, my grandma would take me to see a billboard they put up outside the school so I could see what class I was in, what friends were in it, and what teacher. It was so fun!” Megan Loya, Astoria Aria Watson, Gearhart EPA refocuses priorities toward compliance Part of a shift under Trump By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press While enforcement actions will continue to be a critical tool for addressing serious environmental viola- tors and deterring violations, the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency is taking a different tack and transi- tioning to a keener focus on compliance. In a memorandum to EPA regional administra- tors, Assistant Administrator Susan Parker Bodine said the agency is transitioning from national enforcement initia- tives to national compliance initiatives. A focus on compliance is the goal and includes a broader use of compli- ance-assurance tools and the opportunity for enhanced state and tribal engagement, she said. The transition from enforcement to compli- ance builds on welcome pol- icy changes by the Trump administration, Colin Wood- all, senior vice president of government affairs for National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said. “Things have been steadily improving since the new administration was put in place.

One of EPA’s priorities is preventing animal waste from contaminating surface water and groundwater. It intends to return that mission to its core program rather than keeping it as a national enforcement initiative. “As part of the core pro- gram, in collaboration with authorized state programs, regions will continue to con- duct inspections and enforce serious violations in this area, focusing on the stra- tegic plan goal to address water-quality impairment,” Bodine said. In the new focus on com- pliance, EPA will seek state input in developing com- pliance goals and piloting new ways to measure prog- ress and success. The agency welcomes active state and tribal participation in imple- menting national compliance initiatives, she said. “This participation, which is voluntary, may include state action in lieu of EPA action where the result is a return to compliance con- sistent with national expec- tations to maintain a level playing field,” she said. The implementation strat- egies will identify the most appropriate tools for achiev- ing the goals. Those tools could range from general compliance assistance and inspections to informal and formal enforcement actions, she said. industry remains in place,” he said. EPA has been willing to consult with the beef associ- ation on new or potential reg- ulations, something indus- try hasn’t seen with previous administrations. Whether Republican or Democrat, the association has always had an adversarial relationship with previous administra- tions, he said. “We never felt they cared much about the economic impact their decisions would (have) on our industry,” he said. And their decisions lacked a proven scientific basis, especially when it came to the cattle industry. In just about every case, the association disagreed with EPA’s science — and the Trump administration also disagrees, he said. “The acting administrator, Andrew Wheeler, has been very vocal in his willingness to work with industry, espe- cially NCBA,” he said. The association is grate- ful Wheeler and his team have refocused the agency’s priorities. This action clearly reflects beef producers’ con- tinued commitment to pro- tecting natural resources and the administration’s commit- ment to ensuring stakeholders and regulators work together to find solutions, he said. “Cattlemen and cattle- women take their role as environmental stewards seri- ously.
