[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1524738, member: 27490"] Not so Mike. In enforcement, you just ignore it. It is almost surreal. Like you are watching a video. An example: I was inspecting a coal mine in Martin County Ky. A very large, national company. They had a large sedimentation basin. The emergency spillway and the primary spillway were both obstructed by debris from a several day storm event. I was being escorted on the mine by the superintendent. After the inspection, I told him that I was issuing a Cessation Order on the mine until the "Significant Imminent Threat" was eliminated. The superintendent said he could not accept the CO. He said it had to be issued to the Operations Manager. I was taken to the OM's office where I proceeded to inform him of the circumstances. The OM threw a tantrum. He cussed me for 10 minutes. There is not one four letter word that he did not use. He threatened to have me fired. Claimed that he knew every member in the US Senate and had lunch with the Director of OSM. I stood in absolute silence until he was exhausted. Then I very politely ask if he would acknowledge service of the CO. He said f+++ no. I wrote on the signature line that the company refused to sign for service. I placed the order on his desk in front of him. He picked it up and threw it in the trash can. I did an about face and walked out with the superintendent. The next day they had the pond fixed. When it is in the performance of your job, most enforcement personnel just don't take it personal. The ones that do - need to get out. [/QUOTE]
