A goverment agency can not afford to exercise preferential treatment. This appears to be rank discrimination if the case is as clear cut as you describe. If EPA has approved procedures that apply to biodiesel production facilities generally, you need to ask on what basis can they single you out for different and more stringent rules? Perhaps you need to do no more than ask this question. Your next step might be to contact the Inspector General of EPA and ask this question. Government agencies are usually particularly sensitive to charges of preferential treatment and try to avoid them. This is the kind of abuse, I believe, which the EPA Inspector General would want to handle directly. (Waste, fraud, and abuse, is their baliwick.) Better yet, if you wrote a strong letter to the EPA Administrator, copy to your Congressman or Senator objecting to this on the basis of preferential treatment, the Inspector General would likely become immediately involved, and I would bet your problem would receive some prompt attention. If not, the next step could be to ask your Congressman or Senator to call for a Congressional hearing.
