What is an Illicit Discharge?

Illicit discharges are unauthorized discharges or dumping of liquid or solid waste into the environment. This includes spills or illegal dumping directly into a storm drain, water quality feature, creek, or river. Spills that should be reported include hazardous materials, large volumes of contaminants or contaminants that are life-threatening or harmful to the environment.

Construction

As the campus expands and renovates, construction projects create the potential for illicit discharges. Disturbances that are not contained, tracking dirt into streets and improper concrete and paint washout are all ways that construction activities can potentially contaminate our waterways. If you observe any of these things, please Report an Illicit Discharge.
