When we think of america's most wanted, the agency that usually comes to mind is the FBI. But in December the Environmental Protection Agency released a list of its own, naming 23 environmental "fugitives." Airline mechanic Mauro Valenzuela is wanted for allegedly transporting hazardous chemicals on board a plane; they caught fire, causing a crash that killed more than 100 passengers and crew. Larkin Baggett, owner of Chemical Consultants Inc., is accused of dumping toxic waste into a sewer system. Other fugitives are charged with the illegal sale of the ozone-depleting chemical Freon, dumping chemicals into a tributary of the Mississippi River through a secret pipe, and disposing of tons of oil-contaminated wheat (intended as food aid for Bangladesh) in the ocean.
