The EPA listed Bentonite (fine clay) as being illegally discharged. If it was your pond they dumped in, I'm sure you would feel differently.

Do you know why they wet cut brick and block? To keep silica dust down. Same thing here. Go protest the next Whole Foods or Publix you see being built that isn't wet cutting brick or block.
