Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination for Field Personnel (ET)

Permittees “must effectively prohibit non-storm water discharges into municipal separate storm sewers” Clean Water Act 402(p)(3)

The Clean Water Act requires municipalities to effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges into municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).  We all know the phrase "only rain in the drain" but how do we enforce that?  What exactly is an illicit discharge or a non-stormwater discharge?  Is an illicit discharge illegal?  

This class is designed specifically for those personnel whose duties take them into communities where they have the best opportunity to recognize and potentially eliminate illicit discharges, either by stopping it at the source through outreach and education, or by reporting it and otherwise supporting the regulatory authority.

Using GoToWebinar, we create a virtual classroom with instructor-led courses including input, questions, and feedback from each attendee.
