There is a sewer storm drain in front of my house. Would this be a good place to dispose of slurry, or would it piss off my home town? Would it bother the raccoon that lives there?

Most storm drains lead to a river of sorts so be careful of whats in the slurry. Also do it a night because if your neighbors see you and think it is some type of chemical they are going to call the E.P.A on you and that might cause you a lot of greef. But as long it is water and rock slurry it shouldnt hurt the drain.(people put nastier crap than that in them)

I redistribute is around my yard. it is basicly heavy mineral water, so it won't hurt the envionment, its just a very heavy rock sludge that will collect up in low spots of waterways and harden into a cement like mixure. putting it into a storm drain likely is not the best spot for it.

Well if it has any type of current and plenty of water it should desolve and spread it out. Years ago I was working for this construction company and we had to build a storm inlet between a 60" storm drain. We built the forms to hold the concrete with 3/4" plywood,2x4's and alot of 4x4's. Well that night it rained and the water pressure was so great that it sucked all of our forms into the pipe and down to the river where there is a lid that weighs about a ton and blew it wide open.

And please forgive me for using "dumb" as a synonym for "stupid". We have a deaf and dumb resident where I work...she was kept in mental institutions for many years as insane or retarded. She has since learned to read and write, which is not easy if you cannot hear, so she is neither. I know better, I guess I just slipped.

for me the best place to dump old slurry is on a gravel road or alley it won't hurt anything there
