SIGNALS / REGULATORY HEAT
Regulatory heat
Enforcement forming
Enforcement forming around one operator or site.
Regulatory pressure leaves a paper trail before it becomes an action. Repeated requests for inspection histories, permits, or compliance records around a single operator or facility — often from different requesters — signal that an enforcement or compliance matter is taking shape.
