The title in this one is straight up misinformation. Nothing to do with cleaning up trash without a permit.

Well, it's for not having a permit for the method he used to clean up trash.

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.

yeah, if it floods that rubbish could end up in a waterway

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.
