Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination

The goal of this program is to prevent the discharge of contaminated stormwater runoff from University properties into the storm sewer system and local lakes and streams. The University’s program includes a minimum of semi-annual screening of all campus storm water outfalls. Additionally, University Facilities employees respond to reports of illicit discharges/spills on campus; they take all necessary actions to clean up the discharge/spill and complete source investigations and make any necessary repairs to prevent future illicit discharges. Call 919-515-3000 to report a discharge/spill to ground or surface waters on campus.
