The EPA has discoverd that milk contains "a non-petroleum oil" (they mean milk-fat)---and so the folks at the EPA, who regulate oil spills that threaten our shorelines, have decided dairy farmers must implement measures to counter any dangerous milk spills.
These measures include "training first responders" and "building containment facilities" to prevent damage from catastrophic milk spills. The Agriculture Department apparently has a $3 million dollar program to help farmers comply with EPA oil-spill regulations.
Apparently this is not an early April-fools joke. http://fuelfix.com/blog/2011/02/03/epa-spilled-milk-regulation-indicative-of-broader-problem/
And here I thought the farmhouse cats were in charge of milk spills!
