"When Trey Glenn was seeking a top EPA job last year, one of his references was a lobbyist for Drummond Co., an Alabama-based coal firm.

Now, the lobbyist is likely headed for federal lockup. And Glenn, the head of EPA's Atlanta-based Region 4 office, is under indictment for allegedly violating the state's ethics law.

Their respective legal woes appear rooted in the same cause: an illegal scheme concocted several years ago to help Drummond avoid Superfund cleanup liability for sites in the Birmingham area."
