Corey Tolliver REMARKS Tales of French Fries and Bottled Water: The Environmental Consequences of Groundwater Pumping ......................................... .3 Robert Glennon Robert Glennon, Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law and author of Water Follies Ground Water Pumping and the Fate of America's Fresh Watem presented several humorous, but serious, tales of groundwater mismanagement in the United States as the 19th Annual Natural Resources Law Distinguished Visitor at Lewis & Clark Law School. Professor Glennon's research for Water Foies took him across the nation, cataloguing private, corporate, and government excesses, and here he shares some of his favorite stories demonstrating the disconnect between the law governing this precious resource and the science which counsels a more balanced approach. ARTICLES The Politics of Risk: Pre-Litigation Site Assessment in Houston, T ex as .................................................................................................... 15 Gregg P. Macey Analysis of the Railroad Commission of Texas' use of site and risk assessment in a neighborhood built over crude oil storage tanks known as Kennedy Heights demonstrates how purportedly scientific processes can fail to embody the kinds of rational analytical approaches on which regulatory agencies publicly claim they depend. Primary documents outlining the various efforts of the state agency, in coordination with a regulated entity, suggest that these processes were shaped in different ways, used divergent assumptions, and ultimately yielded findings that more closely resembled arguments than results.
