illegal activity?

[bugman]

the railroad comissioner has more authority over oilfield matters such as tank trucks & such... 1 call to your local railroad comissioner is all it takes & they get rite on it... i got 1 stopped from dumping saltwater into a local stream... had the hose hung over a bridge lettin water out as fast as he could so i called & they came rite out... that stream went into the sabine river which holds many kinds of fish but no trout... fired, lost his cdl & had to pay 1 hell of a fine... however it is not illegal for tankers to suck water from a stream into the tanks...

I agree it COULD have been a perfectly legal activity and sincerely hope it was, but as Eric mentioned it would not hurt to have it checked out. As far as a possible stocking with fish, there is no stocking as far up the river as I was, and it is usually done in spring to increase smolt survival. Whether it was legal or not, my main concern was if it was an illegal dumping I wanted to get it stopped ASAP. As it turned out, I wasn't able to accomplish a thing.

Tig ODNR had no scheduled release that I can find around this time, It needs to be reported to ODNR, EPA.

2 words......Cam Corder. Then, if the authorities balk on investigating, give it to the local news broadcasters. And if it turns out to really be illegal, post it on YouTube.
