Question: Mr. Pollack decides that one way to get easy income is to invite all his friends and neighbors, especially those operating businesses, to dump their garbage on his property, a 500- acre farm in the middle of nowhere. He charges a small fee for each shipment, which he keeps completely confidential to protect the privacy of his customers. A nearby mechanic sends all the used oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and transmission fluid he drains from cars, along with dirty grease and other lubricant, to Pollack's farm. A narrow ravine running through the back of the property makes an ideal place to dump garbage and other refuse. The county government is delighted because they were already worried about there being little room left in the municipal landfill and now most of the county's waste is being diverted to Pollack's private dump. What potential issues would arise under RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) and the CWA (Clean Water Act)? Be specific about who could bring potential claims and how defendant(s) could respond.
