SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has pleaded guilty to charges the company dumped hazardous waste in California.
A company spokeswoman says Wal-Mart entered the plea Tuesday in San Francisco federal court to misdemeanor counts of negligently dumping pollutants from Walmart stores into sanitation drains across California.
As part of the plea, the company will pay $81 million, which will also cover charges in Missouri.
In 2010, the company agreed to pay $27.6 million to settle similar allegations made by California authorities that led to changes in the retailers practices nationwide. Wal-Mart was accused of improperly disposing pesticide, fertilizer and paint.

No they shouldn't be dumping anything at all, but they help feed tens of millions of people. Do you want to make life harder for people or what? If not corporations like Wal-Mart, k-mart, Safeway, target, etc. What?
Sure demand them not to dump but let's have a free market.

So you can honestly say you have never dumped anything down the drain you are not supposed to?
This isnt a manufacturing pipeline pumping out waste. Its someone drain dumping when they are not supposed to, probably to avoid the fees required to dispose of it properly.
Illegal? Yes, and they have to pay the fine. End of the world? No. plus its a wastewater violation, not a drinking water violation.

And that's just about all WalMart produces.

Moral relevance to defend water pollution. Conservative rationalization at its worst.Walmart is responsible for what its low level cleaning crew does. obama isn't responsible for what his direct appointees do.
Liberal logic at its finest.
