Good luck in the class.  You have heard from several states in the last few
days.  It does not appear that you have heard from even half of them.  When
talking about the P2 driven requirements that a facility must face, do not
leave out the the local government P2 requirements.  Do not leave out the
fact that most federal programs have their own and separate set of P 2
requirements.  Think about EPCRA, RCRA, CAA, Water, NPDES.  Facilities will
routinely be required to maintain half a dozen or more P2 plans and programs
at the same time.  Compliance can often be achieved by the level of effort
put into the planning, and not in the doing.
