There probably are good regulations against dumping snow in harbors and

Albany, N.Y., area, we had a lot of snow. The plow-equipped dump trucks
pushed the snow down the main street in Albany, a street that ended at
the Hudson River. One overzealous driver pushed his mountain of plowed
snow right into the river (actually, a lot of drivers did that), but
apparently forgot where he was on the space-time continuum. Yup. The
snow, the plow, the truck and the driver...right into the Hudson. The
driver was rescued.

All those end up in the river anyway.

Well, I'm not sure that's really how it is out there, but I'm sure
that's the standard inventory on the Chicago river.. But, not
necessarily in that order...

Looks like you want all the street trash, shopping carts, parking spot
lumber, concealed trash cans, sofas out for trash pickup, etc. that's
picked up by snow plows on the streets of northern cities to be dumped
in nearby streams, rivers, and oceans.
Why don't you work out a paid arangement between California and the
northern snowy cities to transfer all that trash-filled snow to your
area, and dump it in the streams and ocean of California?
Might help the California budget.
BTW, it's not the feds prohibiting the dumping.
Usually state or local.
Responding to local fishermen and other water recreation citizens
bitching about shopping cart snagging and motor oil jugs floating all
over the place.
You're a moonbeam kinda guy.
But if you're blaming EPA for everything, moonbeam translates to "common
sense," right?
Riiiiiight.

Was epa in Boston. Look at the ocean after a large rain storm. Lots of
stuff floating out to sea or back on shore. People dump crap in the stream
beds besides how many couches are put out for pickup in a snowstorm? and
most of the snow came from curb to curb. Not many people places couches in
the middle of the street, snowstorm or not. Moonbeam never had a lick of
sense in his first governorship and has not showed a lot in all his jobs
since.
