There is a large park a few miles from your house that
you enjoy walking in. At the end of the park there is a highway and
an overlook area where drivers will stop to take a break. A few months
ago you noticed a large rusted barrel in the woods but did not think
much of it. The other day, you were walking late in the afternoon and
noticed two men rolling barrels down the hill from the highway and into
a trench. They had shovels and were working very quickly. You left the
area quickly because you did not feel comfortable. After further investigation,
you discover that the men were burying barrels of hazardous waste that
they did not want to pay to have disposed of properly.
- What are the hazards of burying hazardous waste
or disposing of it improperly?
- Who would you call about what you saw in the park?
- What laws may the men be in violation of?
