Fly-tippers have dumped a mountain of waste in a field in Oxfordshire.
The "environmental catastrophe developing in plain sight" is up to 150m (490ft) extending and 6m (20ft) tall.
The enormous mound has materialized in a open area adjacent to the River Cherwell near Kidlington.
Elected official brought up the situation in parliament, stating it was "threatening an environmental emergency".
Conservation group said the unlawful garbage pile was formed about a few weeks back by an illegal operation.
"This constitutes an ecological disaster taking place in public view.
"Daily that passes elevates the danger of toxic run-off entering the waterways, poisoning wildlife and putting at risk the wellbeing of the entire watershed.
"Regulatory bodies must act immediately, not in extended periods, which is their standard response period."
Legal prohibition had been established by the regulatory body.
It is hard to recognize any individual pieces of waste as it appears to have been shredded with earth combined.
A portion of the rubbish from the top of the mound has collapsed and is now just five feet from the river.
The River Cherwell is a tributary of the River Thames, which means it runs through Oxford before meeting the Thames.

The representative asked the government for help to clear the illegal tip before it caused a blaze or was swept into the river system.
Speaking to parliament members on Thursday, he said: "Lawbreakers have discarded a huge quantity of unlawful synthetic materials... totaling hundreds of tonnes, in my electoral area on a floodplain adjacent to the River Cherwell.
"Water heights are growing and thermal imaging demonstrate that the garbage is also increasing in temperature, elevating the threat of combustion.
"Environmental authorities said it has limited resources for compliance, that the anticipated cost of disposal is greater than the whole annual funding of the local district council."
Government official stated the authorities had taken over a struggling recycling sector that had created an "widespread problem of unlawful waste disposal".
She advised parliament members the organization had issued a restriction order to prevent more admission to the area.
In a announcement, the organization said it was examining the matter and appealed for details.
It stated: "We acknowledge the citizens' frustration about occurrences like this, which is why we take action against those responsible for environmental offenses."
A newly released investigation found efforts to tackle significant illegal dumping have been "extremely under-prioritised" notwithstanding the problem growing more extensive and more advanced.
A parliamentary committee recommended an independent "comprehensive" examination into how "widespread" environmental offenses is tackled.
