§ 13243 Waste Discharge Restrictions

• •Some places have rules about where you can dump waste.
• •These rules can say certain types of waste are not allowed in specific areas.
• •The rules are made by a group that looks after water quality.

A factory wants to dump its dirty water into a nearby river.

The group that takes care of water rules might say no, because that river is a special area where dumping dirty water is not allowed.
