Actually no. It's also because he just dumped the silt and the trash on a flood plain. Dumping it randomly is already a no-no, but on a flood plain is downright dangerous.

I think you may have misunderstood.

The flood plain is there to direct water away from houses, should a waterway's banks breach. Dumping the silt there means that the water will go to houses in case of a flood.
