A. There are all sorts of laws that ban putting lead into the lakes. If you go fishing, you aren’t allowed to let even one lead fishing-line weight, which is smaller than a bullet, fall into lakes. If you are a hunter, you aren’t allowed to use lead shot on or around the lakes. If you own an industrial plant, you aren’t allowed to discharge or dump lead into the lakes. But the Coast Guard wants to do it anyway.
