Storm Drain Stenciling Program

Storm drain stenciling is a great way to spread the word throughout your community to take action to prevent water pollution and maintain a clean environment. You, your neighbors, and your entire community can help prevent water pollution by stenciling/inlet marking the storm drains in your neighborhood with the "Don't Dump - Chesapeake Bay Drainage" Department of the Environment (DoE) program. Stenciling serves as a visual reminder to your neighbors that anything dumped in the storm drain contaminates the Chesapeake Bay. The county will help you design a storm drain stenciling/inlet marking project that can be accomplished with any size team or age group.

To begin planning your project, call DoE at 301-883-5829.
