You have definitive grounds to sue your abutting neighbors for reckless use - i.e.: video them using it. Done.
I think your nigh have put your tinfoil hat on a little too tightly this morning.

From Wikipedia [Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Round Up]. "Glyphosate can have carcinogenic effects in non-human mammals. These include the induction of positive trends in the incidence of renal tubule carcinoma and haemangiosarcoma in male mice, and increased pancreatic islet-cell adenoma in male rats.[11] A 2015 review found that glyphosate may be toxic below the lowest-observed-adverse-effect level that has been assigned to it by regulators, and that its effects may include "teratogenic, tumorigenic and hepatorenal effects."[71]"
eating a lot of cow manure is also harmful.
I think you need to calm down with your over the top craziness. A bottle or two of round up a year on your property is harmless.

Even if you were right, how much salt run off does it take to kill all the living creatures in a fresh water stream? And what happens when a freshwater stream dies of salination? Here is a start for your research: http://www.pnas.org/content/102/38/13517.long All life on the planet depends on fresh water. Do you know how little fresh water the planet holds for all of life to share? We really can't afford to pollute our fresh water.
Except the PP is not right. It is worse than salt.
PP you can always prove us wrong--eat the same amount of salt and drink the same amount of roundup.
No problem, right? It's the same as salt.

Pull up weeds by the roots. If there is a large weed like a porcelain berry bush, you cut it to the ground, and put a "DROP" of round up on.
Spraying Round Up, kills everything it touches; weeds or not.
We will also be entering colder weather soon. Pull up the weeds by hand. More than likely, you won't need anything else.
