It is good that they cracked down on this business and their "pollution" of the enviroment. Now these products can be made in China with no enviromental impact. It is always impressive to see how our government destroys the ability of a business to succeed, or even compete on a local lever, let alone a global level.
There is most likely more toxic chemicals entering the bloodstreams of humans at the building next door to this operation in one night than Trevi is responsible for in one year.
Osha is not any better.

Let's see, custom made molds, that produce very limited production runs of often times very large castings that need mold release compounds? I do wonder if the pubic K-12 and colleges art departments get this type of scrutiny. After all, we are talking about a group of artist's here along with some support staff to design and make the molds and fill them at the least possible cost to the customer. Let's face it, the economics in this country in the manufacture on most anything hinges on the cost of labor, and the overhead burdens needed to make the product. I do doubt that they had a budget to hire an environmental engineer, for this operation but had to rely on the input from our Nevada EPA officers for direction. It think the real story here is what demands and liability did Nevada EPA place on this company, and were those demands reasonable.
