Can I pour chemicals down the drain with lots of extra water?
NO!!! It is not permissible by federal regulations to take waste that is the end product of a process and treat it to render it “non-hazardous”. Also, federal regulations state the mixing of a hazardous waste with a non-hazardous waste creates waste which is still considered hazardous. So you cannot dilute a waste with water to make it non-hazardous. “Dilution is NOT the solution to pollution.
