It’s still an illegal discharge. There are multiple things listed that are not good for the local environment. Even phosphorus and ammonia can be damaging by stimulating algae blooms.
It's not though. TCEQ authorized a discharge water permit and has investigated the water discharge. Now, if people are being dishonest, that's another story, that will likley be somthing we find out some years in the future. Your not wrong about algae blooms. Though, the lab didnt sample the water straight from the discharge source but further down the ditch. And thats all farmland around there. Farms use ammonia nitrate, as fertilizer.
Oh wow the state of Texas authorized it? Well in that case I'm sure it's fine! They're renowned for their environmental safety and concern.
Good point.
Vaild point.
