What state is/was this? It sounds highly illegal and that person should be prosecuted. Make it have an impact by reporting them.

NY for example:

"Thus, for example, even a spill of a gallon of oil into a ditch is covered."

California:

"California Penal Code 374.3 makes illegal dumping on public and private property punishable by a fine up to $10,000. Also, pursuant to Section 117555 of the California health and Safety Code, a person who dumps illegally is punishable by up to six months on jail."

Colorado, and yeah we all talked privately about reporting him. One of the more upset staff members filed a complaint, I don't know if anything came of it. We never heard anything if it did. This is about 15 or so years back now.
