OEPA pursues action against Marietta Industrial Enterprises

I know the OPEA works with companies towards good results. They keep in mind that we need to keep businesses in business. I wonder sometimes however, just how would the Chinese handle a company like this? Would they even care? We keep adding costs and requirements on our businesses, then wonder why they shut down and move elsewhere.

"The director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is ordering a business operating on State Route 7 near Marietta to test their emissions for manganese and provide the state with information about its processes.....The OEPA Director is also insisting on the testing of manganese emissions (in terms of pounds per hour) and demonstrated compliance with set emissions limitations within 90 days."

"MIE president Scott Elliott said in an interview on Monday that the company doesn't handle manganese and hasn't handled manganese for years.
"We don't even handle manganese anymore. We haven't handled manganese for three years," he said. "So there's no chance that we do not report manganese emissions because we don't have them."
