What are the cities, town and Napa County doing about illegal dumping and illicit discharges into storm drains?

Each entity has passed ordinances that make 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. Illegal dumping and illicit discharges may be reported to the local Stormwater Hotline for investigation and enforcement.
