"What we have here…" is a classic conflict of Silent Spring vs. Reality, and a perfect example of an honest question highjacked by sensation and emotion.
The EPA is Satan's child, a good intention that has led American (and the First World) Commerce into hellish shackles (because I'm not aware of any Chinese EPA, or Russian EPA, or South American EPA, or Indonesian/Asian EPA, or an African EPA). Thank you #### Nixon (RINO) for being midwife to this monstrosity.
Citations where made of fouled rivers and water ways: we did not need a FEDERAL Bureaucracy to fix that problem; local government should have AND WOULD HAVE resolved this issue.
Disparaging comments where made about "what Grandad and Daddy used to do": what if they were right? We have replaced too much Common Sense with Intelligencia.
As to the water table being contaminated by pouring used oil on the ground: if this were true, there would be no more asphalt roads, there would be no more tar and chip resurfacing (they just did this across three counties here in Illinoisistan.) But besides that, unless you live in a swamp or a bog (and then you're not drinking the water anyway), your water is coming from HUNDREDS of feet down. Have you ever watched a well drilled and seen the various layers of clay, sand, and gravel and bedrock that come up? God has made a perfect environment, and while we can and do some times foul our own nest, it's never permanent, because the earth is not fragile like us and our opinions: it's constant, and resilient. Where is the persistent oil damage in the gulf? Nature ate it: it lives on carbon and CO2. And before you say "But, but, Chernobyl and Bikini Atoll!" read these and be humbled:

If a man think's he's something, he needs to be stripped naked and thrown into the woods. Let's see what nature thinks of him.
The question was asked, WhiteSpider gave his answer based on EXPERIANCE not hype, sensation, or hyperbole, and the OP and he were attacked for it. I'm standing with experiance (not saying I'm going to use perfectly good weed killer on fire wood), but I'll take experiance over emotion every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
