Illicit Discharge
Illicit Dicharges are any direct or indirect non-stormwater discharges to the storm drain system. There are many things that do not belong in our storm drains and streams.

***Please note, a few activities are exempt from this definition of illicit discharge and are allowed; these exempt activities include: water line flushing, landscape irrigation/lawn watering, non-commercial vehicle washing, fire fighting activities, and dye testing (dye testing requires written notification to the Township).
