Illicit discharges and gross stormwater solids (i.e., trash and large organic debris) play a major role in contributing to water quality impairments. These sources have not been sufficiently recognized as a substantial contributor of bacteria, nutrients and other pollutants, and recent research has hshow that the problems emanating from these sources may belarger than we have imagined. However, controlling these substances through programs such as illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) may be one of the eaiser, less expensive options for emeting contaminant load reductions. This webcast will look at the best practices to cotnrol illicit discharge and gross stormwater solids, the programmatic and policy implications, and provide some case studies to illustrate the quantifiable pollutant load reduction benefits for water quality of these cost-effective stormwater BMPs.
