difficult and confusing permitting processes; and,

Environmental Protection Agency to provide businesses with a single point of contact to coordinate
all levels of government and all agencies to assist businesses and achieving regulatory compliance in
a scientifically sound and economically competitive manner; and,

requiring multiple regional agency permits, help to avoid regulatory decisions that conflict or simply
shift pollution, reduce delays in receiving approvals, save permitting costs, and allow valuable
resource savings to be applied to compliance or future economic growth; and,

program to south Orange County grants south Orange County residents, businesses and cities greater
