OPINION

BAKER, Chief Judge.

Today we consider the delayed ramifications of a party's discharge of pollutants onto real property that was once farmland but subsequently became a residential subdivision. While the owner of the subdivision claims that it is entitled to recover damages for negligence, nuisance, and trespass, the defendant-company insists that the subdivision's actions against it are precluded under various theories, including the economic loss doctrine. The trial court sided with the defendant-company. We believe that the owner may proceed on the theory of negligence.
