I am an overpaid Government worker too......

I'm an Environmental Protection Officer for the Province.

I conduct inspections of approved and registered facilities in the Edmonton area and also travel north as far as Athabasca and east to the border. I ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and it's Regulations and Codes of Practice as they relate to facilities like refineries, foundries, cement plants, asphalt plants, gas plants, and on and on and on....

I also conduct inspections of unapproved operations like maintenance garages, drycleaners, etc to ensure compliance with the Act in regard to hazardous waste disposal and hazardous recyclable disposal and their storage.

We follow up on public complaints regarding odour, haz waste disposal, and you name it... if it's environment, I'm pretty much on it......
