(1) 1Failing to contain environmentally damaging substances in a way that reasonably protects the environment from harm entails an administrative fine of up to 1.000 €.
Is it legal to have tailings, garbage above ground ? (IIRC, compost doesn't pollute)
What is considered reasonably protect: just below ground or deep enough that we can't see it on pollution map ? What if it's walled off ?
Does it matter if it's close to a road ?
I'd rather ban them above ground for 2 reasons: it's ugly, and it gives a job to dump workers.
What about oil refineries, should they be hidden deep underground too ?

The reasonable part is normally determined by the judge of that cycle. In the past, the desert hasnt really been given this protection (sadly) so tailing above ground there is/was generally acceptable.

But we have neither judge or AG

The GMs step in for the missing roles if they cant be filled

Are you suing someone?

I have at least 3 cases of smelters storing their tailings above ground, and not sure what to do with them

naive nimbus
#

Sue them

#

If you want

#

As governor of Balica, my understanding is I am supposed to warn/fine them

naive nimbus
#

Sometimes even just a threat of legal action is enough

#

I was told that in the desert, ppl don't mind tailings, so didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings

Personal opinions isn't it, if your the Governor it's your state to do with for the eco goals

#

They said the case had been raised in the past and concluded that there is no environment worth protecting in the desert

#

Though reading the law, it says nothing about the desert being special, even tho there is not a lot of wildlife there

#

Been settled in a past case with the AG and Judge not brining it up as the desert isnt an area that environmental damage can cause significant damage. I would disagree but it is what it is.

#

Tho, you can adjust a more strict law for your state if u want

#

I see it more as a clarification than a state specific law

#

Was there any discussion about oil processing ?

You should add the white tiger legislation tag. Only they can adjust federal level laws

#

And likely better answer your questions
