Township. First alert traffic reporter Jessica Boyington has details on both of these issues. Sticky backup this morning. We have seen these backups on 95 all morning long. Now, this is because of, of course, like you saw from 95 northbound around gerard avenue, that tractor trailer accident has caused a big mess. Now, were at a 72minute drive time headed northbound from the blue route to the vine street expressway. Shouldnt be that high. Its completely in the red right now.

Provisions. There are many parts of the act that premise regulation based on the acnims quite quickly quite deeply, best achieveable control neck noling backed. Maximum achieveable controlled technology. Several others for various kipeds of sources and various kinds of situations. That can be helpful to industry who are typically able to develop some of those sorts of technologies and have a discussion with regulators such as eacha that its frankly harder for citizens to become involved in because its such a high technical level often. I think another point to be made about industry is Companies Often want certaintyty as much as they want and i think thats a difficulty that has come out in a lot of the environmental laws. Host they want to know how does this affect my bottom line. Guest and they want to be able to plan and to invest and say, do we need to put 1 million into this scrubber system or do i not . Guest its more like a billion dollars. So it is really quite expensive for som
