Israeli "greens" are focused on what the EPA does or plans to do. Everything that the EPA is doing, will be aped eventually by Israel, and being Jews, we do "as the EPA does but more so." So I appeal to the EPA, please dont do it! Dont apply spilled oil regulations to spilled milk! I dont want to design aquifer protection structures against spilled milk contamination (see pic for what EPA's regulation may mean at field level).
This is not from The Onion:
New Environmental Protection Agency regulations treat spilled milk like oil, requiring farmers to build extra storage tanks and form emergency spill plans. Local farming advocates says it’s ridiculous to regulate a liquid with a small percentage of butter fat the same way as the now-infamous BP oil spill. “It’s just another, unnecessary over-regulation by the government just lacking any common sense,” said Bill Robb, dairy educator for Michigan State University Extension.Please, EPA, no!
The EPA regulations state that “milk typically contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil. Thus, containers storing milk are subject to the Oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Program rule when they meet the applicability criteria ...”

Milk also contains radioactive cesium as a result of Chernobyl, nuclear bomb testing, etc. I therefore propose that spilled milk be treated as radioactive waste.
The problem with the EPA under a Democrat administration is that you are effectively putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. And this is a one way ratchet - one "progress" has been made under a Democrat administration, we can never "go backward" under the Republicans. That this occurs on the Federal level and applies to all 50 states is even more dangerous.

Yours is a very dangerous proposal. EPA is everywhere and always attentive to original ideas. By now, somebody may be advancing your proposal.

So does tap water in many parts of the country. What are you worried about, do you think that the EPA has employees reading an obscure water management blog from Israel?
Mark, I dont know what they are reading. Ideas are a very strange thing. It happened to me more than once reading or hearing of an idea that I was entertaining in the intimacy of my mind - an idea that I thought that it was only "mine" and original. Apparently, ideas are "in the air" and several minds can "catch" it independently and simultaneously. Like Darwin and Wallace "discovering evolution" at the same time - one in Borneo and the other in London. What I am saying is that "K" launched to the air (of this blog) an idea, and by some unknown quanta mechanism, maybe the Bohm-
Aharonshohn effect, other minds are having the same idea. Possibly some work for the EPA.
Maybe it is superstition. Old Jewish people never pronounce the name of certain disease, because saying its name may attract it. It is a common belief that saying something has a magic effect - so writing what K wrote "can" be dangerous. Lets come back and check this supposition in two years from now.
I think it is part of the rise of the internet. Normally great questions were only really discussed by the elite since they were the only one who had the time or information to think deeply about an issue. Now that we can all access the same information simultaneously millions can have the same idea at the same time, but comes across as currents running through the air.
Off topic, but have you ever heard of the Mesa Temple?
The Mesa Temple is really special, and it is reminiscent of the Jerusalem Temple. Also the Salt Lake City Temple is impressive, it has great accustics and a nice museum of the Mormon faith. Most I liked the parks and the statues in Salt Lake City.
From what I have read, the MT is one of only three temples that does not have a spire. I don't remember what website said it, but one declared that the MT is reminiscent of pre-columbian and ancient Israeli temples.
Across the street from the temple grounds is Pioneer Park, which has a monument to the Mormon founders of Mesa. Weirdly enough the MT is not on Temple street, but on LeSuer.
Mesa is part of the Mormon corridor.
Here are a few more pictures of the Mesa Temple.
