What is the City of Los Angeles doing about illegal dumping into storm drains?

0

An ordinance passed in 1999 (LAMC Sec 64.70) makes it illegal to dump or discharge trash, debris, chemicals, contaminated water, or any other liquid or solid material into the storm drain system. Violators are now subject to stiff fines and criminal prosecution. The Stormwater Program’s Enforcement Section receives many calls to its (800) 974-9794 hotline number from the public reporting illegal dumping violations and these calls are investigated. In addition, the Stormwater Program has trained all 41,000 City employees on how to spot illegal discharge violations and encourages them to report these to the Stormwater Hotline.
