I don't have a "lawn" area in my backyard where my dog can do his business. However, he has made one area (of my concreted backyard) his bathroom. I clean it on a daily basis. First, scooping up the poop with a pooper scooper and then pouring some bleach on the affected areas then hosing it down with water. I use bleach so it can kill the germs, especially to kill off the smell.
I am sure it is affecting whatevers "downstream". Do you have any suggestions to avoid contaminating the freshwater runoff? I've used simple green before, and I know that is non-toxic... but the "wet dog/poop" smell still remained. Bleach does the job for me.

Bleach evaporates - but there are non toxic bleaches on the market - I won't use anything else.
Also check with your local pet store - you'd be amazed at the stuff they have for every occasion.

Dog waste in normal amounts is not toxic,in fact it is good fertilizer.
To clean the concrete back to its original color try a power washer.

Warm water and an enzyme based laundry detergent.

cant you take him for a walk and pop it in the bin, or boiling water and bleach if you cant.
