§ 80215 Water Pollution Cleanup Orders

• •This law is about cleaning up dirty or polluted water.
• •A special group (called a 'regional board') can tell people or companies to clean up messes in the water.
• •If someone makes the water dirty, this board can order them to fix it.
• •This rule started in 2023 but didn’t really kick in until 2024.

A factory dumps dirty chemicals into a river, making the water unsafe for fish and people.

The regional board can tell the factory to stop dumping and clean up the river. If the factory doesn’t listen, they could get in big trouble.
