Editor's Summary: Environmental protection frequently requires creative legal strategies, and operating solely through the court system is not always the most effective means for protecting the environment and public health. In this Article, Richard T. Drury offers a case study of a public nuisance suit against a concrete-crushing facility in southeastern Los Angeles County. The facility, which was causing pollution and health concerns for the surrounding Latino low-income community, was challenged through an administrative public nuisance complaint to the city council. The case study demonstrates the importance of community organizing and scientific research, as well as the continued power of the common law.
