	Environmental Issues Facing the Construction Industry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The environmental issues that most concern developers and landowners are issues associated with the discovery of contamination.
		Issues of due diligence, discovery and disclosure of environmental issues against the pressures of construction costs and deadlines often create ethical dilemmas which are heightened by the involvement of various professions with potentially different professional responsibilities.
		Although, environmental shortcuts, concealing environmental problems, or committing violations with the expectation it is better to seek forgiveness rather then permission may appear acceptable in the short term, they usually carry long-term ramifications that are ultimately far more costly.

		These protests are the result of the environmental degradation that has occurred--and is perceived to be continuing to occur--in the region as the result of oil development by multinational oil companies.
