We ask for thorough compliance with the Water Pollution Control Law.
Last update date April 1, 2024
Recently, it has been found that a number of acts that violate the Water Pollution Control Law have been carried out for a long period of time at business sites in Chiba Prefecture. Chiba Prefecture has held six expert meetings for this offending company and has provided strict guidance such as strengthening monitoring and guidance.
Therefore, in order to prevent pollution of the water quality of public water bodies and groundwater, we will continue to thoroughly comply with the Water Pollution Control Law, in particular, thoroughly notify the Water Pollution Control Law, and operate businesses including affiliated companies. Please reconfirm your responsibilities.
