CHANGES MADE TO EPA COMPUTER MODEL FOR CALCULATING CIVIL PENALTIES

Revisions are made by EPA to the computer model for
calculating civil penalties, but the agency delays issuance
of guidance for determining a company's economic gain due to
an "illegal competitive advantage" from noncompliance. The
revised BEN model, the software used to determine a
violator's benefit from avoiding pollution control
expenditures, is more user-friendly and will allow more
precise calculations than the previous version. 
Some times you need a big stick!
