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.
