I need the help of a knowledgeable environmental expert or some literature that relates to my problem. My home town is threatened by a State of Texas sanctioned program which results in raw sewage being dumped along a fork of a river which runs into the City' water supply. The program is for companies which clean out septic tanks and don't want to pay the high cost of driving the sewage to a treatment plant 20 miles away. Further the neighbors are complaining about the smell of human excrement emanating from the raw sewage dump. None of the neighbors were notified originally about the commencement of dumping operations some five years ago. I understand now that the waste allowed will be increased some 14 fold based on a new permit provided by the State without notification of neighbors, the City, the County, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I need to stop this egregious violation of the local environment. CW 214-369-1587
