PowerWash.com received 6 calls yesterday from Contractors being affected by this changing enforcement of the CWA.
It is really location based. Expect a Knee Jerk Reaction from Municipalities who are out of compliance on their StormWater NPDES Annual Permit Reports to the EPA. This is what happened in Houston.
Robert they are not Affected if they are Educated, knowing the Jurisdiction of states and Local Authorities responsibilities.
Most are Lost themselves in what the CWA actually Stands for, this argument cannot be won. Private Property unless emanate threat exists the local Enforcement have not Jurisdiction on the private property.
As stated By Houston they will wake a Judge if needed, they woke a few judges in Houston and the City prosecutor told his People to start looking for people who are actually Major offenders. Yes this is public information from the Attorneys office when he changed Hands from the Man who Started the Houston Programs. I do not think he would deny making the statement if asked.
Robert its pretty simple we are not Polluters, pressure washers when cleaning for Health and Safety are Only reducing Pollution Existing on Propertys.
Now Fleets which you seem to always Combine over the Years is a Separate issue and should be looked at by People who wash fleets. I cannot Talk about there Practices nor Defend them, someone from this Industry needs to step up. Fleetwash has a Bunch of Propaganda off of some of the Things you have copied and Pasted here. Its a Shame over the 25 Years we still do not have Clear steps on proper process and procedures in the fleet Business. Fleet Managers confused by the entire thing just choose to put there own wash Bays in because they are afraid Lances W will be over the top Taking photos to turn them in, A common practice during your error.
I do not promote Contractors Policing the industry themselves. Nor will I ask anyone to RAT on a Brother. The chance to educate rather than Muscle or use Scare Tactics to give the impression of Riches has come to and End.
Robert on the KNEE Jerk reaction you did nothing, you went on record in 2011 PWNA BOD meeting saying everything in Houston is OK.
Robert there is and Urgency to Only get contractors Understanding there Rights, knowing that if they stay Clear of the MS4 Not adding any known Pollutants to there Cleaning process everything is Fine. Help from National Association being on the Same page Fighting for the right way to wash instead of confusing people so much they just say stop washing.
