Illegal Dumping in Storm Drains

 

The drains found on public streets (rectangular opening cut in curb) lead directly to local streams. Don't dump wastes or sweep leaves and grass into the storm drain. Please help prevent debris, litter and potentially hazardous waste from washing down the storm drain. This can hurt our waters. 

 

 

Builders and developers are required to take steps to reduce the amount of soil and debris that is blown or washed off their work sites. These steps include regular clean up and installation of fencing to capture this waste. They are also required to set up a system to prevent soil and debris from washing into storm drains. They must also remove soil tracked or washed onto the roads.
