As a resident of California, and a long time supporter of our
standard setting emissions requirements, I am writing to ask that
our state continue to go above and beyond federal standards. 
As recent events have shown these industries are unable or
unwilling to 'self-regulate' safety, emissions, containment, nor
best practices-I believe our state can and should do better than
the federal departments who are understaffed and underfunded.
There has to be real consequences or there won't be compliance.
These companies make billions at our expense, and they consider
small fines to be a part of doing business. This is unacceptable.
I hope that the newer technology will allow for consistent,
industry wide monitoring. Will the state be following up on
notifications? Will there be on-site conformation of actions
required of offenders?
Our residents can't continue to assume these greedy industries will
do the right thing; not when they've proven themselves incapable.
Thank you for your consideration.
