Stormwater Ordinance

City of Easley Illicit Discharge and Illegal Connection Ordinance

An illicit discharge is defined as any discharge to a municipal or county separate storm
sewer system (stormwater drainage system) that is not composed entirely of stormwater
runoff, except for discharges allowed under a National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit or non-polluting flows. These non-stormwater discharges occur
due to illegal dumping or illegal connections to the stormwater drainage system. This
ordinance provides communities with the authority to deal with illicit discharges and
establishes enforcement actions for those persons or entities found to be in
noncompliance or that refuse to allow access to their facilities.
