Which watershed-protection rule violation would actually result in a criminal penalty if witnessed by proper authorities?

Would it be picking up litter from the street and tossing it into a storm drain (second photo) that leads to Tanglewood Branch (photos 1, 3 and 4) and eventually into the area's major water supply, Beaver Lake, or tracking mud from a construction site onto a city street (lower photo) to be washed by coming rain into Spout Spring Branch and eventually into Beaver Lake?

Small lot's water-absorbing soil being dug out and hauled away and red dirt being spread for construction in Spout Spring Branch watershed above and below



Second truck backs onto lot to dump large chunks of limestone to protect street from muddy silt a few weeks too late.

After dumping load, previous construction truck pulls onto South Street headed west
