Waste criminals have deposited a massive amount of waste in a field in Oxfordshire.
The "environmental crisis unfolding in plain sight" is approximately 150m (490ft) extending and 6m (20ft) high.
The enormous mound has appeared in a open area alongside the River Cherwell near Kidlington.
Parliament representative highlighted the issue in parliament, saying it was "posing risk of an environmental emergency".
Conservation group stated the illegal waste site was formed approximately a few weeks back by an criminal network.
"This is an environmental crisis taking place in plain sight.
"Every day that passes increases the threat of toxic seepage getting into the aquatic network, poisoning fauna and putting at risk the health of the entire river basin.
"Environmental authorities must respond immediately, not in extended periods, which is their typical response period."
Legal prohibition had been established by the Environment Agency.
It is challenging to identify any individual items of garbage as it looks to have been broken up with dirt combined.
Part of the waste from the peak of the pile has toppled and is now just five meters from the stream.
The River Cherwell is a tributary of the River Thames, which indicates it flows through Oxford before connecting with the Thames.

The MP petitioned the government for help to clear the illegal site before it triggered a inferno or was carried into the water network.
Speaking to MPs on this week, he said: "Lawbreakers have deposited a massive amount of illegal plastic waste... amounting to substantial weight, in my district on a water-adjacent land alongside the River Cherwell.
"Stream volumes are rising and temperature readings indicate that the rubbish is also warming, elevating the danger of fire.
"The Environment Agency stated it has limited funding for enforcement, that the estimated price of disposal is higher than the entire annual allocation of the regional government."
Environment minister said the government had inherited a failing waste industry that had resulted in an "widespread problem of illegal dumping".
She advised MPs the organization had served a prohibition notice to stop more entry to the area.
In a statement, the agency stated it was examining the situation and asked for evidence.
It commented: "We understand the public's anger about situations like this, which is why we intervene against those accountable for illegal dumping."
A newly released study determined efforts to tackle significant waste crime have been "extremely overlooked" despite the problem growing more extensive and more sophisticated.
Government advisors suggested an independent "root and branch" investigation into how "prevalent" illegal dumping is tackled.
