279. Whenever the State Board of Health shall find that any of
the waters of the State are polluted by wastes from any manufactur-
ing or industrial establishment, in such a way as to be or to be liable
to become a menace to the public health or comfort, or whenever the
existing method of waste disposal in a manufacturing or industrial
establishment is found to be or be liable to become in any way a menace
to health or comfort, the State Board of Health shall issue an order
requiring the owner of such establisment to cease pollution of the body
of water into which the waste is discharged, or to make such altera-
tions in the method of disposing of said waste, as the Board may deem
necessary to protect the public health and comfort; and said order shall
be complied with within such time as the State Board of Health shall
determine. Plans for all such changes in the method of disposing of
trades wastes shall be submitted to the State Board of Health for
approval, and all construction shall be carried out in conformity there-
with. If the State Board of Health shall approve the plans submitted,
it shall issue a permit for the use of the method proposed for taking
care of the waste, and no revised method for taking care of said waste
shall be put into effect without such permit. The owner of any manu-
facturing or industrial establishment shall submit to the State Board
of Health, on demand, all plans, information and records regarding
the existing methods used for the disposal of wastes at that establish-
ment.

plant, public or private, is, or is likely to become, prejudicial to health
or comfort, it shall order that said source of water or ice supply shall
be closed, or said point of sewage discharge, or method of disposal of
sewage or refuse, abandoned; or the Board may order that such works
or devices shall be installed, or such measures instituted, as shall be
sufficient to remedy existing conditions, if in its Judgment such con-
ditions can be remedied in a practical manner by said works, devices or
measures. In case a public or private system of water supply, sewer-
age or refuse disposal is condemned by the State Board of Health, the
Board may order such arrangements made by the owner of said system
or plant as will effectually prevent its operation. The State Board of
Health shall specify such date for compliance with any order provided
for in this Section as it may deem reasonable and proper.
