The U.S. EPA acts as lawmaker, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner all in one when enforcing national standards, according to a new book from the libertarian Cato Institute, a nonprofit education group. In Out of Bounds, Out of Control: Regulatory Enforcement at the EPA, author James DeLong writes that strict compliance with all environmental laws is difficult and oftentimes impossible, which allows EPA enforcement staff to “take action against any regulated entity it chooses to attack.” DeLong uses specific enforcement cases to illustrate his point that EPA’s enforcement efforts are arbitrary.
