REPORTING PROBLEMS

In order to comply with the requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, the Town of Leland must establish regulations that will prohibit illicit discharges into the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and provide sufficient means to monitor and enforce local discharge regulations.

Illicit discharge or illicit stormwater discharge means any discharge into the Town of Leland's MS4 (stormwater system) and/or any other waters of the United States, that is not composed entirely of stormwater, except discharges made in accordance with an independent NPDES permit, as a result of fire fighting activities or otherwise specifically exempted under North Carolina State Law.

Many seemly harmless household activities, such as dumping yard waste or draining swimming pools and household waste water from washing machines, dishwashers or water softening devices into ditches, storm drains and canals are also classified as illicit discharges. Theses activities still can cause severe problems to our waterways. Ditches and storm drains are not connected to the sewer system. They flow directly into streams, rivers, estuaries, bays and eventually the Ocean.

KEEPING OUR WATERWAYS CLEAN IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.  If you see any questionable activities taking place, please report it to the Town of Leland Stormwater Services by contacting:
