".. to discharge dredged or fill material into seasonal wetlands considered waters of the United States.”

Yeah, but you are not allow to plow your own field in public. Do that at home.

Title is misleading. From the article,

The wheat Duarte planted was never harvested, “because in February 2013 the Army Corps of Engineers and the California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board issued orders to stop work at the site because Duarte had violated the Clean Water Act by not obtaining a permit to discharge dredged or fill material into seasonal wetlands considered waters of the United States.”

So he was actually stopped from dumping his shit onto public land without a permit. If you dump a used coffee cup on a highway, you can be fined $300 dollars. Imagine dumping hundreds of tons of shit on a highway. I think the fine and the order are appropriate. This is littering on a massive scale.
