I mean, it's not as if you were authorizing the dumping of solid waste into the
shaft of an old mine or something and just crossing their fingers that it will stay.
Here, they are knowingly putting toxins into known freshwater aquifers in the
certain knowledge that, after doing so, that aquifer *cannot* be used.

Seriously, wtf?
