Illicit Discharges are prohibited on Campus
非法排放是任何“流入下水道”的东西(路边入口), drainage ditch, directly discharged to a stream, etc.) that is not entirely composed of stormwater. 当污染源被引入并与雨水混合时, 然后非法排放到雨水下水道系统，直接排放到地表水中. 雨水在进入本港的地表水(例如小溪和溪流)前是未经处理的. 非法排放可能是由于处置不当和潜在污染源的泄漏以及土地扰动造成的污染造成的. 与非法排放有关的常见污染源如下.
| Automotive fluids (oil, fuel, antifreeze) | Paints |
| Animal carcasses (bacteria) | Pet waste (bacteria) |
| Cooking oil and grease | Solvents (i.e. acetone, ethanol) |
| Chemical cleansers (e.g. detergents, soaps) | Salt and other deicing agents |
| Dumpster leachate | Sanitary sewer overflows |
| Misuse of fertilizer | Sediment (i.e. stockpiles, erosion) |
| Misuse of pesticides & herbicides | Trash |
| Landscaping waste (i.e. grass clippings) | Vehicle/equipment washwater |
VHCC policy prohibits non-stormwater (illicit) discharges, including illegal dumping, into the college’s storm sewer system. 消除非法排放的任何来源和执行禁令是利用《tg反波胆足球平台》内的语言实施的 Standards of Conduct for VHCC employees and Student Handbook for VHCC students. Disciplinary action, including restitution, can be taken by the college in cases of negligent, willful or continued cause of illicit discharge.
豁免排放通常不被认为是非法排放的来源.
