You're not supposed to wash your vehicle in the driveway. 
Rain gutters drain directly into the river systems and don't go thru the sewage treatment plants. Any chemicals, mud/silt, or soap that runs off your vehicle when washing pretty much runs directly into the river.
Don't give your neighbor ammo to be an ***, take it to a car wash.

Your wrong. Water that goes down a manhole goes to the same storm water drains, which lead right to the river. Good on the bylaw guy and your neighbour. If everybody took your attitude towards our river it would be a posioned bown puddle of **** !

Originally I thought that this thread was titled as "A tear in my beer", but that’s been done I guess. On the farm we used old engine oil to kill of weeds around buildings. It was a pretty good weed killer. A pail of diesel was a cure all stuff. We even used diesel to kill off mosquitoes on the ponds.
Funny on how the world changes. The weeds still grow around the buildings at the farm and there are still mosquitoes that will take off your arm.

Same here Mike, over 40 years of dumping all the oil from all the machinery in one spot,, havent dumped there for about 15 years now, and you could never tell it happened... samething where we had our fuel tanks, no way you could tell that they were ever there

Winky, I can't wait to see how the project turns out buddy. I'll drop off the 5 speed bell housing. At least one good thing out this, is that you'll have to get her done ASAP.
I have a neighbor just three houses up that did a 68 cougar, 64 mustang and a 70's pinto. All yucky cars, I'm sure if I dragged home a nice/rare mint original mopar muscle, my neighbors will be on my case for having junk laying around the house
Some days its hard being different. Just to the south there a 69 chevelle rag top, thats gutted, and another first gen camaro. All in pieces, they go and out of their garages, but they pay people to build their rides, so I guess that makes it ok.

Equating weeds growing 15 or 20 years after the fact and contaminated groundwater are hardly the same thing. Thistle and buffalo grass are not indicators of contamination. Grow some tomatoes in there and eat them for 20 years, see how that works for ya.
