Didn't know this. At the time I asked management to ask for waivers. Got the impression that EPA wouldn't allow it.
I do agree w/you regarding the UnGoldin one. You can thank George Abbey for that Goldin goose egg....they are two of a kind. George placed people who were loyal to him (i.e., passed him info, unquestioning obedience) in the highest positions, including Goldin. This was done under Bush 41 but more specifically, it was Dan Quayle who OK'd Goldin, even after hundreds of letters from former TRW employees, were sent to Quayle advising against it. History shows he mouthed "faster, better, cheaper" but everything he touched was slower, worse, and more expensive. He preached an open door, but if you critiqued anything you were canned. He ruled through fear, IMO, same as George Abbey.
I flagged you to another thread where it appears that the EPA granted the waiver, but NASA wouldn't implement it.
