Federal HTTPS domains that'll expire soon because of US government shutdown
Disclosure: im a full-time diesel engine mechanic.my shop was due for a round of vessel inspections for our waste and fresh oil holding tanks last friday, but, no EPA.  Without these inspections we can not technically order new oil or have oil recycled, because the EPA signoff is required as part of cradle-to-grave handling of hazmat substances.so how do we get around it?  we now have half our back parking lot filled with 55 gallon drums of waste byproduct from engine work, which can be shipped without an EPA cert to recyclers.  This is also outright illegal if it gets big enough, but we've been declaring it as required by the EPA.  since we cant schedule a formal review of that either, we confirm the storage with their hotline for doing so, and since thats not staffed and the voicemail box is full, I have been mailing Kodak pictures and printed descriptions of the storage.our full-site inspection is due feb 2nd...without it, the federal government  (if it were running) would cite us for a flagrant violation and shut us down.  The guy who does that inspection called us and confirmed hes quitting to work for...of all places...the company that recycles our oil.
