Called police they came out did nothing, As they were dropping railroad ties in the water I ask them what about the boats they say they don't care I said I would report them to the game warden and police they Said go ahead They will do nothing And The [censored] were right they did nothing I cannot believe it

RR commission is only authority over them I think

Man what a travesty , you talk about running your electronics but fiberglass repairs are super expensive. Liberal bunch of knot heads !!

Not good. Dangerous for anyone cruising down the lake.

thats messed up

Idiot sub-contractors.

I'm sure TPWD would be interested in looking into it.

That's just plain ridiculous! There is great evidence right here, I could understand some debri but that's a whole tie.

I ask them what do you think is gonna happen when the boat comes by doing 60 and hits one of these railroad ties his answer I don't care Needless to say our conversation did not go well

seems like pollution also, would they just throw these on the side of the road somewhere and leave them?

That is F$@#!@&k up. Hope they end up losing job & do some time!!! I dont even like it when i see dang plastic bottles in a lake! Hope you can give a update.

What did you want them to do? Which department did you call?

Dallas owns lake but other cities own land around it. Rockwall, Rowlett, or Garland won't respond and doubt Dallas will. Hopefully with all the rain they will quickly end up in the river below dam.

That and your local State Representative.

Nothing like that should be dumped into a lake for multiple reasons including safety and pollution. And if they're doing it at Hubbard it's probably happening at other lake RR crossings also.

First, identify the railroad company that OWNS the tracks. Ask them to address the situation or you will report their actions (and any contractor they hired) to the Texas agency supposed to monitor/enforce environmental quality (think it's TEQC or something like that). Think most old crossties were creosote treated, not sure about the new ones today they are replacing the discarded ones with. If you old ones are now defined as a contamination risk to water quality the EPA might be an option. Again, not just for this instance but for the cumulative impacts of the railroad track owner's environmental actions across a wide region.

rr ties are toxic hard to get rid of, full of oil tar etc.

That should fall under pollution of water
