Abstract

While most convicted felons must learn to feel at home in a jail cell, Steven M. Self ("Self") has the opposite problem-learning to feel like a prisoner in his own home.' Following his June 12, 1992 conviction for numerous environmental violations, Self, the majority shareholder and president of what is now the EkoTek Superfund site,' returned to his "4,736 square-foot home ribboned by 7.9 hilly acres of lemon and avocado trees in north San Diego County." While Self returns home, the business-people who relied on EkoTek's Utah license to handle their [hazardous] waste, are scrambling to finance the clean-up of EkoTek being supervised by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA7).
