Someone dumped 6,000 pounds of equipment and trash associated with an indoor marijuana growing operation on federal land in western Colorado.
The Garfield County Sheriff's Office and Bureau of Land Management officials want to find out who did it.
Equipment, bagged potting soil, fertilizer containers, venting and other associated trash was dumped during the last two months in Estes Gulch. That's about six miles north of Rifle, Colo. just off Colorado Highway 13.
In addition to the substantial cost to taxpayers to clean up such a site, there can be environmental and human health risks associated with these illegal dumps from hazardous pesticides, fertilizers and unknown liquids and powders, says Colorado River Valley Field Manager Steve Bennett.
A BLM ranger found the site last week. Clean up is complete, but the investigation continues.
