I would find it near impossible that someone dumping a truckload of cadmium down a sewer or into the river is caught today, even with our insane taxes and panopticon state. In fact I know someone who makes a shitload of money in “waste disposal” who is regularly dumping illegally! However if a factory was doing it as a matter of regular business, a law could ban this practice, and then citizens could sue just like they do now.

I'll just build my solar panel producing factory and dump the waste stream in your water supply. > However if a factory was doing it as a matter of regular business, a law could ban this practice, and then citizens could sue just like they do now. How quaint. Now you need laws? That's a big-government talk right here. And how would you find out that I'm dumping cadmium? Do you have proof? Of course, we won't let you just visit our property. And without an injury, you have no standing in a civil court.
