The Burial Ground
Environmental Law Compliance

Classic


This compliance classic uses a compelling narrative storyline to help convey the life-and-death implications that non-compliance can have.

Training Topics:

  • Waste generator's responsible for hazardous material from cradle to grave
  • Proper handling of hazardous substances
  • Tracing improper disposal of waste back to the generator
  • Doing business with wrong disposal people: waste generator shares criminal liability
  • Penalties: individual who knowingly creates a danger to health: prosecution as a felon; Corporations: heavy fines, civil damage suits, clean-up costs

    Overview:
    As they do every day, two boys play among the headstones of a cemetery. They fill a canteen from a faucet. One boy, already suffering health problems, contracts a fatal illness. Investigators find the illness is caused by toxic water in the canteen. Using all the technology now available including aerial imaging EPA and FBI agents track the toxic contamination upstream to another "burial ground" - an illegal dump heaped with rotting drums of hazardous wastes. The barrels are traced to the company that generated them. The legitimate firm had no idea where an illegitimate waste hauler was burying wastes, but the corporation must accept legal responsibility for water and soil polluted by wastes it generated. The case ends in disaster for individuals, communities, families and the company.
