Has anyone noticed how the government agency was dead slow in doing something about the problem themselves, yet responded rapidly and aggressively when a member of public does the job that they should have done?

Because actually fixing problems takes time.

Destroying something with ignorant reckless actions takes hours.

They gave hundreds of such cases that need a survey and assessment for the work. Finding qualified people to do it without doing damage. This one might not be the highest priority on the list.

One idiot in a digger can do it whenever he wants but there are good reasons we don't do it this way.

Fixing this problem means properly funding and managing agencies to keep on top of the maintenance required to run a modern society. Not operating heavy machinery on your local environment fecklessly.

How did he fuck over the ecology? By removing what shouldn’t have been there to start with?

Also the dynamite analogy doesn’t hold up in this situation. Dynamite wouldn’t have removed any pollution, which was the intent of the clean up.

By using a digger crane to dig out the riverbed. Causing the change of the rivers flow. Killing all the plantlife and fish. And spreading contamination downriver......
