When you piss off the locals in a rural area you make it harder for the locals to trust you. It can create a hostile environment. So if I understand right they just used the septic system that was on the property for multiple buildings. A system that was not designed for that. The waste was most likely just running into the dirt road. Why would company executives think this was ok? That dirt road is not designed for heavy use. I will bet that road gets very muddy when it rains and stays muddy for days after.
