Most of NYC's sewers are combined sewers, meaning they collect both sewage from buildings and stormwater runoff from the streets in a single pipe and carry it all to a wastewater treatment plant. During times of significant rainfall or snowmelt, however, the increased volume of runoff entering the sewer can exceed the capacity of the system. In order to prevent a backup, the excess (including untreated sewage) is dumped directly into area waterways.
Some areas of the city, however, like almost all of southeastern Queens, have two separate sewer systems: one that carries sewage from buildings to a treatment plant and one that channels stormwater runoff directly to a local waterway. This prevents heavy volumes of runoff from overloading the treatment system and causing sewage overflows, but it also means that any pollutants in the runoff will be discharged into the city's waterways without treatment. Hence the warning on the storm drain above, which I assume was painted pink to call further attention to its message. (Other nearby storm drains were painted bright colors as well. Also, if you're wondering what the green and white dots are, here's your answer.)
I think word is getting around, when the cowboy is working the dump, all dogs get a treat! This is one of dozens to come thru today.
We took a drive to the dump today to get rid of the some of the
building materials we thought we were going to use. Another truck
pulled up behind us and was dumping all sorts of nice stuff. Wendy
jumped in and grabbed two of chairs and a pot. She is sitting in one
of the chairs here.

This, apparently is how the whole dump-n-burn thing was discovered - during an aborted landing, the aircrew decided to dump fuel while running on reheat for additional thrust - and the dumped fuel ignited. A lucky accident, but sooooo spectacular.
My first 3-D cake. I made this for my cousin's son's second birthday. He's really into trucks, and this Wilton's version was perfect.
In 2004 in the Soc Son district of Vietnam, construction began of the Nam Son Waste dump. The Urban Environmental Company was assigned to manage the dumping ground. However, the company failed to comply with conditions and obligations of the manager for solid waste containment and treatment in accordance with the regulations on industrial waste management causing deep discontent among the local people and their appeal against the company.
TAI partners undertook a case study to evaluate how effective the government was providing public access to justice. The findings showed that there have been legal regulations established to support public access to justice but they are not detailed and are incomplete. The capacity of State agencies and juries remained weak, resulting in the people's prolonged suit.
Angelo Carusone speaks to protesters at the "Dump Trump" protest he organized at Macy's Herald Square store in New York Tuesday Nov. 20, 2012. The event was organized by Carusone to protest Macy's selling of the Donald Trump clothing line as some feel Tump's comments on President Obama and his reelection to be abrasive and believe Trump is beneffiting from his rhetoric.
