How later courts describe this case
- “[t]he evidence establishes that [the defendants] exercised sufficient actual control over the operations of [the facility] and had sufficient personal involvement in the decision to discharge effluent into the Mississippi Sound to be individually liable”
- “[i]n light of the clear congressional intent to hold ‘person[s]’ liable for violations, we see no reason to shield from civil liability those corporate officers who are personally involved or directly responsible for statutorily proscribed activity”
