1Opinion of the Court
Wright Brothers Construction Company, Inc. (Wright Brothers) was the site grading contractor for the Eastwood Festival Centre project in Birmingham, Alabama. As such, Wright Brothers cut and filled a portion of Red Mountain in order to create a sixty-acre, level site for development. The contract provided that Wright Brothers was responsible for erosion and pollution control. Despite Wright Brothers' attempts to mitigate erosion, a considerable amount of sediment flowed from the construction site into two unnamed tributaries of Shades Creek.
