§ 42452 Abatement Order Conditions

• •The law can tell someone to stop doing something bad, like a court order.
• •Sometimes, the order can have conditions—like 'stop doing this unless you do that first.'
• •The order can’t let someone break the rules forever—it has to follow all the rules for exceptions, like time limits.

A factory is dumping dirty water into a river, making it unsafe for fish and people.

The law can order the factory to stop dumping dirty water. But maybe the order says, 'You can keep dumping a little bit if you clean it up by next year.' If the factory doesn’t clean it up in time, they have to stop completely.
