       Notes - general: Abstract: During the period 1993-1995, four
                        engineering companies were involved in six separate
                        projects entailing the construction of a motorway to
                        replace the existing A74 Glascow - Carlise trunk road.
                        The construction contracts were undertaken in a rural
                        part of south-west Scotland.  This paper describes (i)
                        the events which led to the serious pollution of
                        rivers, (ii) the prosecution of offenders, and (iii)
                        measures which have been taken to ensure that future
                        road-construction projects in Scotland do not impact
                        upon the aquatic environment.
