Well folks, I see this all the time, and speaking for myself and some of my fellow DLNR Officers, we have cited a number of folks and seen these cases go to court and some offenders fined. Unfortunately, when we come across dump sites on state DLNR land there is not always evidence that will lead to a culprit.
That said, if you find trash with identification on state land or in a state park, or identify someone dumping (license plates and description of occupants is usually enough), if you call 974-6208, be assured that we WILL investigate, and take appropriate action when possible.
Also be aware that to the extent possible, information will be kept confidential, but at times, for a prosecution to be successful, a witness may be required to testify.
