Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci
English term or phrase: unlined pit
Sample context:

For some reason, California STILL allows oil and gas companies to dump their toxic wastewater in open and **unlined pits**. This industry isn’t exactly known for being environmentally enlightened, but a disposal method that has the INTENT of putting harmful chemicals into groundwater, soil, and air, is shocking, even by oil industry standards. Dumping toxic wastewater in **unlined pits** seems like the ultimate in corner cutting for an industry always looking to make an extra few bucks.
