Certainly possible, but there are so many idiotic regulations I'd think total compliance was almost impossible.
I own a small electro-optics operation and some years ago the EPA (I think) wanted to know what chemicals we had. Stupidly, I filled out the form and listed Acetone and Alcohol. They demanded all sorts of accountability reports, cradle to grave tracking, on everything we had. I eventually told them "no way". Then they threatned fines, and I just threw their letters out. You see, We had a quart can of Alcohol and a quart can of Acetone from Home Depot. In retrospect I should have called in "60 Minutes" to show them up for the fools they were.
