Coast XTreme Poster Wed Aug 06, 14 5:43 am     Wow, It's about time. Kind of shocked that they got away this long. I retired from bridge maintenance in Tacoma WA (gov'ment WSDOT) . In 2005, we had a compressor that dripped about 1 small drop every 4 minutes. Shut 'er down, suspend work for a month, paid a fine. In our case a fisherman below noticed a "rainbow" when the petroleum hit the water... kinda difficult with a dam. Quote: "The Corps will also be forced to switch to a biodegradable lubricant for its dam machinery" We found that this shortened the life of our equipment. Maybe there's better stuff around these days. _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
