Let me know where you're staying and I'd be happy to help you find a reasonable campground without reservations and/or a dump station so you don't have to continue this practice.

it seems you simply read what you want to maintain your high horse while lacking basic knowledge of grade School science, and skipped over the parts about breaking down once, and the dump station having busted plumbing preventing us from using it in almost 1.5 years of weekly Dumping only 3x have we ever had to drain some out of the grey tank living full time id say thats pretty good you want to know the exact percentage of our waste water that did not end up in Dump sites? 0.5% we produced about 4000 gallons of grey water in this time (this Includes Flushing and Sanitizing our System) and disposed of Four 5-gallon buckets that were only 2/3 to 3/4 full in that entire time not in a Dump station due to un-forseen events
Its not a Practice or Regular thing its a last Resort
Now for a little Grade School Science pay attention this is basic Grade School Science Class and apparently some people definitely need to retake it!
the Following 10 things are ways that waterways and groundwater are ACTUALLY contaminated that most people do not even give a second thought to doing and that i am 100% sure most of you are guilty of at least 8 of!
1. Driven a Vehicle, Yes Grease, Chemicals from manufacturing and petroleum products salt from winter driving Regularly Drip onto roads, even if you dont have a leak many things like axles Bearings shocks etc Ooze Grease out slowly. when it rains and you drive this is washed off the undercarriage onto the roads and then washed into storm drains this includes tires which contain many Oils and Chemicals used in the manufacturing process (my last Set of Tires for my every day vehicle Was from a company that uses only organic Compounds in manufacturing can you say the same?)
2. Used an Asphalt Road or driveway Instead of a Concrete one or even more preferably a gravel or dirt one. There is quite a Decent amount of Oil and chemicals that Seeps out of Asphalt for many many years after it is laid and Washes into the drains. Asphalt is actually a Waste Product of Petroleum Refining and sat in limbo until the government was convinced by oil companies it was a great road building material superior to cement or concrete which in some ways is true its faster and cheaper to build an asphalt road but its durability is non existent
3. Have Ever used any lawn care or garden product such as Scotts Weed and Feed or any fertilizer or weed killer such as Roundup, spectracide, miracle grow, Plant food spikes etc. Nitrates and other Chemicals from Fertilizer Run off every time it rains, Pesticides such as permethrin, Bifenthrin Among many others run off of both structures and vegetation some of which can cause damage to amphibians and other marine life extremely small quantities Low PPM or Even PPBillion in some cases.
4. Applied armorall or Tireshine or any cleaning product or protectant to Vehicle tires, This also runs off in the rain and Rubs off onto the roads ending in harmful chemicals being washed into storm drains.
5. Watered a lawn or garden or washed anything outside with a non drinking water safe garden Hose. the reason they are not drinking water Safe is the chemicals they contain which end up in the ground and washed into the street when you use these hoses, if its not safe for large animals like humans how safe is it for small ones? Fish and Invertebrates are Massively More sensitive to chemicals than most mamnals
6. Used Exterior screws or bolts to construct or repair something outside.
Galvanized items contain lead which ends up in waterways and the ground as it is worn off by rain wind etc, Non Galvanized items will often be coated in chemicals from the manufacturing process and oils which will wash off and leech into the ground and storm drains
7. Use any Electricity Not Produced by solar panels or Wind turbines, Fossil fuel and Nuclear plants still often use Water for cooling which can significantly raise the temperature of surrounding waters which is often damaging to native organisms either directly or indirectly
they also often leak some chemical or another that eventually ends up in the waterways
8. Washed the Roof of your RV the Sides of Your RV, a Car, side of a house, Deck, exterior windows or any Furniture Garbage cans etc Outside.
your using soap or another cleaner for this and ones that are often much harsher than those that we use on our own bodies, additionally any Chemicals/Animal Droppings on these surfaces are now Leeching into both the ground and Storm drain systems depending on where you do it
9. Purchased and Placed Anything new outside and allowed it to be rained on. Plastics contain numerous chemicals and are Coated in numerous others in manufacturing Things like BBQ grills Are Coated in chemicals at the factory, That plastic table or Chair Yea its leeching chemicals for a while after you buy it that new item smell? Thats chemicals while in quantities non toxic to us we are several hundred pounds for a 1 lb or smaller creature how much does it take?
10. primitive camped anywhere? Where do you use the bathroom in the woods? On the Ground, against a tree, Maybe in a latrine you dig what do you think happens when it rains? That runs off into any nearby waterways or seeps down eventually into the ground water
the same with pet Waste just because you pick it up doesnt mean some isnt left and if its raining its already leeched waste into the runoff
Small Amounts Of Diluted organic waste are Harmless. Have you ever Swallowed water from a stream or a lake or beach while swimming? Your swallowing bird amphibian and fish waste With it as well as large animals waste
The fact that organic matter concerns you over the chemical compounds is a troubling sign of what people who "THINK" they know things consider harmful and what they consider no problem at all as the organic matter is more or less 100% harmless environmentally unless released in extreme quantities and in many cases is actually Beneficial to the food chain it enters. Most illnesses CANNOT be Transmitted cross Species and the waste actually acts as nutrient sources for bottom of the food chain creatures.
its the Chemical waste that is harmful, you can take a Piss or dump in a lake every day for your entire life its not gonna hurt it at all, it wont hurt the fish amphibians or any other animal that depends on that lake Every Creature other than Humans use the bathroom in nature and it gets processed by other creatures broken down and recycled THIS IS BASIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL SCIENCE.
But if you dump small amounts of non organic chemical compounds in it daily and you will eventually Destroy it wiping out all life in and around it
So again its the SOAPS and CLEANING COMPOUNDS from grey that are an issue and Nothing else as the SOAP AND CHEMICALS are the only things not found on Every Square Inch of Earth and in every drop of water Since Millions upon millions of years Before we humans existed
