Fly-tippers have dumped a massive amount of rubbish in a open space in Oxfordshire.
The "environmental crisis occurring in public view" is approximately 150m (490ft) extending and 6m (20ft) in height.
The massive heap has appeared in a field next to the River Cherwell near Kidlington.
Parliament representative highlighted the problem in parliament, saying it was "risking an environmental emergency".
Protection organization said the illegal rubbish dump was created approximately a month ago by an organised crime group.
"This constitutes an environmental catastrophe taking place in public view.
"Every day that passes raises the risk of toxic run-off reaching the aquatic network, contaminating animals and endangering the condition of the whole watershed.
"Regulatory bodies must act promptly, not in months or years, which is their standard action timeframe."
Legal prohibition had been established by the regulatory body.
It is difficult to distinguish any particular bits of rubbish as it appears to have been broken up with dirt mixed in.
A portion of the garbage from the top of the heap has toppled and is now just five metres from the river.
The River Cherwell is a feeder stream of the River Thames, which means it flows through Oxford before joining the Thames.

The official asked the authorities for assistance to remove the illegal site before it resulted in a blaze or was swept into the river system.
Addressing elected representatives on Thursday, he stated: "Lawbreakers have dumped a huge quantity of unlawful polymer rubbish... weighing many tons, in my constituency on a water-adjacent land alongside the River Cherwell.
"Stream volumes are growing and heatmaps demonstrate that the rubbish is also heating up, elevating the danger of blaze.
"Environmental authorities said it has inadequate funding for regulation, that the estimated price of disposal is higher than the entire annual funding of the local district council."
Government official said the administration had taken over a underperforming recycling sector that had created an "growing issue of illegal fly-tipping".
She told representatives the authority had implemented a prohibition notice to halt more admission to the site.
In a declaration, the agency confirmed it was examining the incident and requested for information.
It said: "We acknowledge the citizens' concern about situations like this, which is why we intervene against those accountable for waste crime."
A recently published report discovered attempts to combat major waste crime have been "severely under-prioritised" even though the issue growing bigger and more complex.
A parliamentary committee suggested an separate "root and branch" examination into how "prevalent" waste crime is dealt with.
