actually read the memo? I'm guessing not. It also wasn't an order from Trump. It was a Memorandum signed by the Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Assurance at the Environmental Protection Agency.
You should probably read the memo and pay close attention to this paragraph:
The considerations described above apply to the vast majority of people and businesses who are making
good-faith efforts to comply with their obligations in this difficult time. Federal environmental statutes
generally authorize criminal penalties for knowing conduct that violates the law. In screening cases to
determine when to seek prosecutorial assistance from DOJ, the EPA will distinguish violations that
facilities know are unavoidable as a result of COVID-19 restrictions from violations that are the result of
an intentional disregard for the law. EPA’s Criminal Investigative Division remains vigilant and is
prepared to pursue violators who demonstrate a criminal mens rea.
