With the arrival of a new US presidential administration, companies are anticipating potential shifts in enforcement priorities by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the areas of climate change, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and emerging contaminants and chemical safety. In several areas, there is likely to be a rollback of the rollbacks of environmental rules implemented by the former administration, as well as an increased emphasis on environmental justice.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is a top priority for the Biden administration. Any new rules proposed by EPA will be tied up in litigation for years. However, there are numerous executive and administrative actions the administration could take to advance the president’s climate-change agenda, and several have already been enacted since Inauguration Day.

Technology upgrades are coming to the Bronson Police Department. The Bronson City Council Monday approved the purchase of two new TASER energy weapons from Axon Enterprise. The department applied for and received a $1,200 grant from the city’s insurance carrier, Michigan Township Participating plan. Axon Enterprise provided a quote of $2,649.60 for two new TASER energy weapons.
The department will also get two new computers and a printer, as city council approved the $3,024 purchase. The computers will replace two purchased in 2013 and 2014. Although over the $2,500 budgeted for computers, the balance will come from the Police Salvage fund, according to city manager Brandon Mersman.
