Just put in an addendum as to the amount and type of spill that needs to be reported. It seems like this regulation could have been worded better.

That is why earlier this year he directed DEP to implement an emergency rule and announced that he will fight for legislation that ensures Florida families and visitors are notified within 24-hours of a pollution incident. We will review the judge’s order to determine next steps.” I don't see anything which stops DEP from making the notification. Single point of contact concept. It should be even faster and more reliable since they can keep all the numbers ready and updated rather than expect everybody else to do it. Set up an echo system in which all reports to them are automatically sent to all news outlets. (They are looking for reasons for people to use them.) Regardless, if they aren't authorized to require it, they either shouldn't require it or else seek authorization. David for knowing your limits REGARDING:
