Environmental Law Case Study

Paper Summary:

This paper is devoted to the dilemma of clarifying the ethical, legal, and public relations matters pertaining to toxic, production waste dumping. It is written from the perspective of the Vice President of Production and de facto head of the company seeking to dispose of the waste. The paper considers the potential legal liability of the company regarding toxic substances, the substance?s effects on the local environment and health of the local population, and any breaches of ethics committed by the parties involved.

From the Paper:

"Firstly, the company is responsible for keeping abreast of all legal aspects of dumping. This includes but is not limited to which wastes can be contained in holding ponds, as dictated by the current laws of the state and nation. The holding pond must be in line with regulations regarding the disposal of the particular wastes involved. In the current scenario, it is at least gratifying that the Vice President of the company attempted to make sure that the environmental consultant for the company agreed that the dumping would be in compliance with all of the legal strictures regarding the disposal of waste materials."
