This is why I've always preferred a metered tax on pollutants over a regulated "limit". Without revenue attached, there is less-than-zero budget to measure and audit in the firm _or_ the regulator. But with a metered tax (on methane, co2, benzene, etc), weak or fraudulent self reporting become back-taxes owed with penalties which tends to attract interested headcount.
