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!”

EPA refocuses priorities
toward compliance
Part of a shift
under Trump
By CAROL RYAN

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. The underlying sen-
timent of rolling back reg-
ulation and working with

oritized enforcement, they
can finally operate on a level
playing field,” he said.
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. Now, rather than being
the targets of continuous pri-

This school was far away
from where I lived, so

again was my favorite
thing.”
