Further you will have to collect two (2) samples from separate discharge events of intensity of .25"/30 minutes or greater within 14 days of said event for testing, but with events not within 14 days of each other. After completing a site discharge pollution prevention plan to be submitted May 1 each year for the lifespan of the discharge site....<br /><br />The sick part is I basically copied and pasted that from a work related email. If you'll pardon my French, fuck the EPA until they bleed and then make 'em follow their own regs on pain of further fucking.Stingrayhttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-27342654411065193752012-06-04T22:15:29.004-04:002012-06-04T22:15:29.004-04:00"Just lay back and think of Science?"

(often using various bees as data sources).<br /><br />Didn't see his name on any of the papers that did that.<br /><br />By the way, I have it on good authority that grabbing bees off the edge of a hive, thrusting a thermocouple into them (in less than a second to get accurate temperature) and then dropping the corpse into formaldehyde to prevent the whole hive from being enraged while wearing bee keeper's garb in the heat of Arizona summer is a real tough gig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-2580409900758873022012-06-04T08:12:46.610-04:002012-06-04T08:12:46.610-04:00Sounds vaguely like a Royal Navy officer of a cent...Sounds vaguely like a Royal Navy officer of a century or so ago lamenting that those interfering busy-bodies in Parliament outlawed flogging.<br /><br />How is it that, after the horrors of the twentieth century brought about by the excesses of State power, people still pine for MORE of it???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-6384661747020208652012-06-03T22:48:49.247-04:002012-06-03T22:48:49.247-04:00:) ...I wonder how much corn he's grown.
