My Fed agency enforcement office has tasked me with analyzing the stimulus legislation line by line to come up with reasons why we need more funds allocated to us to go after other Fed agencies for noncompliance with environmental law.

About $28 billion in construction money and over $6 billion in cleanup funds mean we have a case for more "extramural" funds to support more inspections, and more attorney time to bring more cases, as all this money will result in a lot of building, deferred maintenance, etc.

So, for example, we're concerned with storm water runoff control requirements and upgrading and repair of underground storage tanks -- we're going to need more money to cover more ground, so to speak.
