I don't see anything about heavy equipment. According to the article, it's a creek rather than a full river, but it does claim that the scale of the cleanup could cause a flood risk.

Either way, the real crime is that the authorities never cleaned it up. Authorities failing to do their job will eventually invite people to take matters into their own hand.
