Dad talks about an interesting case he had where a landfill had been sued for leeching pollutants into the groundwater. Environmental groups sued it and wanted it to be fined. Dad not only found that groundwater is covered under the clean water act (which was often interpreted to only cover surface water), but he had a creative solution to the problem rather than the fines. This solution became a success story.
