Storm Drain Stenciling
is a service learning activity for your school, community association, 4-H,
Scout, or other youth group. |
Storm drains were designed to be the fastest and most efficient way of getting
rainwater off streets and parking lots. Unfortunately, the water that flows into
your storm drain carries trash and sediment from the street, nutrients in the
form of fertilizers, and toxics in the form of pesticides, household cleaners,
gasoline and motor oil. All of the water in the storm drains ends up in your
local stream or river
Stenciling storm drains in your community may discourage people from putting
harmful items and trash in the drains!
Raise awareness about storm drains that empty into the Chesapeake Bay or your
local river or stream. A refundable $25 deposit is required. Stencils and
directions are included. You must contact your local Department of Public
Works before you begin stenciling.
Please fill out the registration form
and read the directions.
Use these Project WET activities
as a pre-activity or follow-up to your storm drain stenciling action project.
