Compromised Enforcement of Environmental Regulations
Regulatory agencies are required to enforce environmental statutes while minimizing COVID-19 associated risks for their employees. Public trust in regulators is especially at risk in areas where high-polluting industries dominate the local economy. There is a legitimate concern that an increase in environmental damage will occur because of halted environmental inspections nationwide.
