The enviros will blame the industry when this is the fault of an individual.

Knowing that this can occur, the industry should have procedures to track those materials. It shouldn't be necessary when the problem is this loser dumping inappropriately, but the enviros are likely to set up more dumping incidents, whether this was real or staged, and the industry needs the procedures for self-protection.

They do. That is how they pinpointed it to a particular driver.

It should be fairly easy to adopt a procedure that when somebody leaves the drill site with X amount of waste, that the site gets an email or text message when he arrives at the approved disposal site with it.

Internal tracking at the company level is evidently in place, as is the case at most fracking operators. Tracking at the government or "accredited agency" level is nothing more than a feel good waste of resources.

Think of all the "certified" e-waste recyclers out there. Although there is a "tracking system" for electronic disposal and accreditation process for companies wishing to gain lucrative gov't contracts endorsed by feel-good environmentalists, do you know where all this e-waste ends up? I'll spare you the details, but it sure as hell isn't improving the environment and likely is doing further damage than landfill disposal in the first place. The only difference is: some lib got rich in the handoff.
