Trump's Project 2025 has a whole 27-page chapter on creating a “conservative Environmental Protection Agency” with suggestions that will fix “an agency that has long been amenable to being coopted by the Left for political ends” (p. 417)
One plan that stands out is to let companies that caused the pollution on a Superfund site to be in charge of cleaning it up. They call this company the "Potentially Responsible Party."
To execute more efficient and effective cleanups, the following changes are needed in the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI): Allow PRPs (“Potentially Responsible Parties”) to perform the statutorily required five-year reviews of Superfund cleanups to free OLEM (Office of Land and Emergency Management) resources.
Superfund sites are places like factories, landfills, and mines where hazardous waste has been mishandled. The cleanup process involves figuring out how bad the contamination is, planning how to fix it, and then doing the actual cleanup to make the area safe for people and the environment again. You might think that the person who was responsible for contaminating the site might not be the best judge for whether or not it’s safe for people again.
![A set of bar graphs depicting the effects of overtime on a worker's paycheck. At the top, a snippet from Project 2025 reads: "Attention: Republican Agenda. Specifically, employers...should be able to set a two or four week period over which to calculate overtime. This...would not require the employer to pay [employees] more for that same total number of hours of work during the entire period."
Underneath on the left is a set of green bars depicting Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and Week 4.
In Week One, there is a darker shaded section pointing out that the worker has worked more than 40 hours and is eligible for overtime.
Week 2 is a little less than 40 hours, and the last two weeks are normal (40 hours).
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "You're paid overtime for EVERY week over time, regardless of other weeks."
On the right, a set of red bar graphs depicting Week 1 through 4. In Week 1, the employee has clearly worked more than 40 hours based on the long bar, but there is no overtime shading.
Week 2 is less than 40, and Week 3 and 4 are both 40.
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "Your employer will AVERAGE weeks together...and you won't get paid."
A Republican win in November means: Same hours. No overtime.
