Doesn't the article state that "The permit, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System authorization known as TPDES, allowed up to 231,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day to be discharged into an unnamed ditch..."?
They don’t own the drainage ditch. They can still dump the water into the local watershed/river whatever body of water per the permit you stated.
