The federal government Monday ordered 13 Chino-area dairies to correct violations of the Clean Water Act that allowed manure runoff and other pollutants to run into local waterways.

The dairies underwent inspections by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, which found violations that included failure to prevent manure and other contaminants from discharging into the water supply.

The dairies also failed to minimize discharges of contaminants, failed to develop waste management plans and failed to properly inspect the facilities, the quality control board found.
