A light-colored chemical spill is visible in the drainage ditch on Military Trail, which the reporter indicates is likely from illegal dumping. The ditch drains directly into a sensitive fish habitat, and a foul chemical odor is present, suggesting petrochemical or hazardous substance contamination.
