5. Strangely enough, that's an appropriate OSHA fine

They were fined $7000 for having a non-liquid-tight containment wall and $4000 for a missing guardrail. That actually sounds about right. OSHA didn't concern itself with the 10,000 gallons of coal soap because it's not their department.

The REAL fine, the multimillion-dollar, CEO-in-prison, corporate-veil-piercing ass-kicking we're all waiting for, has to come from EPA.
