I'm not so sure. A lot of environmental laws require companies to self report exceeding limits, and they actually do. It was a common thing for my contact engineer colleagues to be called up at night to calculate release amounts because their unit had an upset.

A law like this would force companies to at least pretend to comply. None can really say "we're not going to because you can't catch us".
