With the rise of environmentalism and a focus on green and renewable energy, numerous League of Nations watchdogs as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sounded alarms regarding the amount of industrial waste, runoff, and pollution that Arco Steel was producing. The Confederate Parliament convened a special committee run jointly by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Interior to investigate the allegations. They found that while there were some irregularities regarding the dumping of industrial waste at Easthampton's city dump and industrial waste processing facilities, the company was largely compliant. However, they noted that if the current trend of protecting the Ozone layer and air quality was to increase, there would need to be drastic reform in Easthampton. Despite political leverage and lobbying by Arco Steel, the Confederate Parliament passed the Air Quality Act of 1989 and set mandatory thresholds for industrial exhaust, pollution, and air purity. Easthampton had notoriously been a lower air quality and lower quality of life area to live due to the numerous sprawling industrial complexes, and the Air Quality Act helped being the reversal of many damaging effects that the steel industry and mining industry had done to the local ecology and environment of Easthampton and the Aileach Mountains. | With the rise of environmentalism and a focus on green and renewable energy, numerous League of Nations watchdogs as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sounded alarms regarding the amount of industrial waste, runoff, and pollution that Arco Steel was producing.
