Drain Stenciling Program

Get Involved!

A storm drain stenciling project 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." 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. You supply the volunteers and the county will provide the supplies which may include DoE participation. To begin planning your project, call the Department of the Environment at 301-883-5829.
