Report Illegal Concrete Washout at Construction Sites
Have you seen a cement truck from a construction site rinse off in a non-specified area after unloading its concrete? Concrete trucks are required to use a designated washout area which will be properly signed and protected by an impermeable barrier. Pollution from concrete washouts can contaminate surface and ground water resources. Read
