Fines

Significant monetary fines exist for those who do not comply with stormwater rules. Anyone contributing to environmental pollution may end up sharing a part of the fine. Regulators prefer to be "compliance assistors," but when they respond to a citizen's complaint of an illegal discharge, their mindset may be instead that "the learning curve is over."
