The exact details of the garbage dump, including the type and amount of waste dumped, have not been disclosed. However, the National Park Service has stressed that illegal dumping in national parks is a serious crime that can carry significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment. The dumped waste can also cause harm to the park’s wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and degrade the natural beauty of the park.

The National Park Service has set up a dedicated webpage for the case, where members of the public can find more information and report any potential leads. The agency is urging anyone with information about the illegal dump to come forward to help protect the park and its wildlife.
