The pastor says the administration clarified in January 2016 that ozone depleting substance discharges would be inspected as a major aspect of an interval upgrade of the ecological appraisal process, pending a full survey and rebuilding. 

That audit was finished not long ago and a choice on the changeless procedure is normal this fall.
