Where are you allowed to dump sewage, sterilized and ground up, in
inland waters? I am pretty sure that Minnesota is not one of those
places. It certainly wouldn't do the lake or river much good.

Go thou and read the regulations. You may not dump *untreated* sewage
in inland waters, or less than 3 miles offshore. You may not dump even
treated sewage in a "no-discharge" zone, but absent a local
no-discharge law law federal regulations allow you to dump *properly
treated* sewage anywhere.

Read the law he

Nothing prevents Minnesota from declaring any or all of its waters a
no-discharge zone. Unless Minnesota has done so or elects to do so, it
is legal to discharge sewage treated to specific standards of fecal
coliform content, etc, into the waters of that state.

Surprise surprise surprise. That is exactly what Minnesota has done.
How about Washington?


I looked it up, not as backward as you implied. "When in waters where
sewage cannot be dumped overboard (for example, any freshwater body of
water), these MSDs must have the "Y" valve secured so that it cannot be
opened by placing a lock or non-reusable seal on the "Y" valve or by
taking the handle off the "Y" valve."
