		<description>I work in an industry regulated by the EPA. I am not certain the EPA has all that many scientists working for it. The people we have to deal with seem to understand paperwork and procedures and policies. They do not seem to have much understanding of the actual science. 
 
I am nearly convinced that EPA personnel receive secret cash bonuses for stopping a business from doing business. 
 
An example, there are two tests done on our products. The first test is a screening-type test, quick and inexpensive. Based on the results of that test, you may or may not have to do the second, more expensive and more definitive. We have done both tests on our product. The more expensive and definitive test was accepted. Because of the relatively unique nature of our product, and the way the screening test is defined, our screening test was deemed unacceptable. The definitive test tells the EPA everything they want concerning the tested characteristic of our product but, they still make an issue of the screening test. A real scientist would realize the definitive test makes the screening test meaningless. </description>
