Laurance I am not an expert on these matters but I would suggest that if you believe that pollution has entered the water course as a result of the work you should contact the Environment Agency as a mater of Urgency. There number is 0800 80 70 60. Don't be put off by the long introduction as they try and screen out people trying to report things outside their control. From personal experience once on the case they are very good.
Some time ago a lake on private land near where I live was filled in by a developer. Some of the locals got together and took out a private injunction against the developer and won. The developer had to remove all the fill and return the lake to its original condition. So there is hope.
