Illegal Discharge (Storm Sewers)

On May 4th, 2022 I was taking a walk through the park when I noticed a chemical-type smell lingering near the stream that flows east to west through the middle of the park. When I went to investigate the source of the smell, I was alarmed by an opaque milky white substance contaminating the flowing stream. It also seemed to be the source of the smell. I followed the contamination upstream and traced it to a white PVC pipe that appears to originate from the Bryan Park pool facility. There was also particulate settling in the water where the pipe drains into the stream.
Immediately after that I walked to the pool facility and confirmed with two city workers that the pool does indeed drain directly into the park's stream. They also told me that they were directed to power-wash the pool area and the resulting material was discharging directly into the stream via the PVC drainage pipe. Further, other city workers have confirmed with me that the pool water itself gets drained into the stream annually. I am not sure if this is legal - and if it is legal, it is certainly not environmentally sound. The material that is draining into the stream is very likely environmentally harmful.

Walking by 419 Highland Street I have noticed water being discharged from a pipe leading from the house to the street. It appears to be intermittent so I suspect it is from the washing machine. Based on the staining and algae in the street I suspect that it has been going on for some time.

Mid and dirt all over Pete Ellis Dr from new construction at Pete Ellis and Longview

Last night there was mud and new stones, as well as pretty deep ponding, on W. 17th St. in front of Tri-North Middle School (facing north). Perhaps it’s the first big rain since that project finished? The water, mud, and stones were just pouring down the driveway onto Tri-North.
The construction head of the Tri-North project wasn’t very proactive about erosion control from the beginning of the project last year. And the designers must not have been careful enough when planning for rain.

I believe this is a septic field leak onto the sidewalk. Intersection of Gramercy Park Dr. and North Claybrooke Ct.

I am one of the Utility Dept. volunteers checking and clearing storm drains in Sycamore Knolls. I and my fellow volunteers having been clearing storm drains at the intersection of Queensway and Montclair, Queensway from High to Montclair, and Sussex Dr from Queensway to Montclair. We have been making piles of plant and street debris near some of the drains. They are now getting large and because of their mix of plant and asphalt debris cannot put them in the weekly waste pickups. Would it be possible for a city street crew to remove these piles near the following locations? North sides of the Montclair and Queensway, Southside of the Chelsey and Queensway, and Sussex Dr. near 1912-1919 and 2216 -2219
Thank you
