• “What we have in front of us, which I’ll describe, is agreements. And we’re really not here to negotiate; this is not a negotiation, this is about implementation.”

• Re: DTSC "They are the regulator; the regulator means they set the cleanup standards, this is not a ongoing negotiation with the polluters. The polluters have a role, they have to pay for it and they have to adhere to the standards that we have.”

• “Those are legally binding agreements. We will hold them to those agreements. And as I said, but I will say it again: our job is to regulate, not to negotiate.” 

• “We don’t have a lot of tolerance for having a negotiation. All the meetings that I go to like, ‘are we opening up the Consent Order?’ The answer is no. ‘Are we opening up the Order on Consent?’ Which I’ll talk through in a minute. And the answer is no.”
