9. True:
Discharging chemicals and garbage into storm sewers is illegal and is in violation of the WSU and Pullman Municipal Stormwater Discharge Permits that were issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology in 2007. These permits have a section on Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) and require WSU and Pullman to develop programs that prohibit these types of discharges to stormwater and require stormwater system inspections, spill clean-up, etc.
