AquaDams are designed to meet EPA guidelines under Section 404 (40 CFR 230.1) as well as the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act and Section 404 guidelines prohibit discharges of dredge and fill material when a practicable alternative exists. AquaDams provide a practicable alternative because they do not use any fill material and have no adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystem. The US Food and Drug Administration, after thoroughly testing the plastics that our product consists of, stated that it “is a material suitable to place in contact with food”.
