From the supplier: The Washington State Supreme Court decided in two cases in September 1994 that unintentional environmental damage is covered by the comprehensive general liability policy. The Court believes that the qualified pollution exclusion in the policy is ambiguous. Environmental damage would be considered unintentional or unexpected if a company disposed of toxic wastes in a site which was considered to be safe for containing or filtering such waste. The two cases were Queen City Farms v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., and Key Tronic Corp v. Aetna Fire Underwriters Insurance Co.
