I have just found out that a local repair shop has been illegally dumping waste.What should I do?
My husband has been bringing his truck there for years to get it worked on. He told me last night that the shop%26#039;s owner has a drain in the floor, down which all waste-oil, antifreeze, etc., is poured, after which it exits the drain,and is dumped onto the ground outside-by means of a hose attached to the drain.There is no collection device outside. The garage is located within one half mile, or less, of a river,and is also near wetlands. I know I must report this, but do not want my identity to be revealed. To whom should I report this, and how? Note: all of the shop%26#039;s employees, including one who professes love for the environment, have known about this for years, and have done nothing about it.

Contact the EPA, or the local police departments environment division.
Or, if you don%26#039;t want to be named and think this is a big issue, contact the local media, tell them the story, and how you don%26#039;t want to be named.
They might pick the story up, and the EPA and city will be FORCED to deal with the situation.
