First , the enforcement action taken by CMLRD relative <br /> to April 12 and 13 , 1983 grab samples may have some bearing <br /> on the policy and legal issue of whether it is now appropriate <br /> for WQCD to take duplicate enforcement action on the same <br /> factual situation and similar legal allegations . Second, <br /> it may be useful to discuss how a 10 year/24 hour event <br /> exemption might be considered in the situation of Mid-Continent ' s <br />
