Proper leaf management is important in reducing stormwater pollution and preventing flooding. Excess leaves in the street can clog storm drains and cause localized flooding. When it rains, leaves that are left in the street release nutrients that end up in local waterways and harm aquatic ecosystems. Proper leaf management helps to maintain clean waterways and reduces the risk of flooding. For more information, visit Leaf Management — Respect Our Waters for more information.

Illicit discharge is any substance other than stormwater that enters a storm drain, storm sewer, local waterway, or other regulated system. Examples include sanitary wastewater, effluent from septic tanks, spills from roadway accidents, and improper disposal of auto and household hazardous wastes. These substances can lead to nutrient, bacteria, and chemical pollution to our freshwater systems.  Illicit discharges are easiest to spot when there hasn’t been rainfall or snowmelt for at least 72 hours (3 days). If you spot a storm drain or a pipe leading to a waterway that has an unusual odor, suds, an oil sheen, or flowing water during dry weather, you may have found an illicit discharge. If you think that there is an illicit discharge in your community, please contact an official in your local municipality.
