Storm drain marking is an educational program designed to inform citizens about the hazards of dumping pollutants into storm drains. The placards remind people that storm drains flow untreated, directly into local streams and creeks. Ashland’s storm drains are NOT connected to the sewage treatment plant. By placing storm drain markers, you can take an active roll in preventing pollution in your neighborhood. Volunteers may also distribute door hangers, informing citizens about the proper disposal of chemicals that could harm wildlife and pollute waterways. Storm drain marking helps build community and mobilize grass roots environmental protection. Marking also helps educate your neighbors about the importance of watershed protection. If you are interested, you can become a neighborhood leader for your own Storm Drain Stomp event.

  • Allen County Storm Drain Marking Guide022510
    The Allen County Surveyor’s Office has established a storm drain marking program to involve and educate the community of the harms of dumping pollutants down the storm drains. The following guidelines are provided to assist individuals, groups or organizations in planning, implementing, and preparing a successful storm drain marking event and to provide information on what citizens can do to prevent or reduce pollution that enters our waterways through storm drains. What is a Storm Drain? A storm drain is a network of underground pipes designed to control flooding by transporting stormwater from urban areas to a waterbody. The storm drain marking program involves marking storm drain inlets. The following are typical examples of storm inlets. What is Storm Drain Marking? Storm drain marking is labeling a storm drain inlet with a pre-printed marker, tile, sticker, or stencil that reads “ Dump No Waste - Drains to River ”, "Drains to Stream ”, or a similar written message that specifies the waterbody to which the storm drain inlet drains. Allen County has chosen a vinyl marker that comes in circular or rectangular form that is applied to the inlet with an adhesive or tie straps depending on the type of inlet being marked. Why Should We Mark Storm Drains? • Storm drain marking informs others about the street-to-river connection. Allen County 1 Storm Drain Marking Guide Surveyor’s Office • Many people may not realize that water flowing into storm drains or any material that is dumped or washes into the storm drains is not treated before it empties into a river, stream, or pond.

No new driveway connection shall be constructed which does not conform to this chapter and minimum sight distance criteria established in 2.12 and 2.13. A. Dimensions, slope, and detail shall be as indicated in Figures 3-003, through 3-009, as further specified in the following subsections. See Section 2.13 for entering sight distance and 2.12 for stopping sight distance requirements. B. New Driveways Requirements: 1.

Maintenance of driveway approaches shall be the responsibility of the owner whose property they serve. 3. Driveways shall be paved with asphalt, or approved surface, between the edge of the paved surface and the right-of-way line, except when on curb and gutter section roadways. See Figure 3-003. 4. For driveways crossing an open ditch section, culverts shall be adequately sized to carry anticipated storm water flows and in no case be less than 12 inches in diameter, and at a minimum the culvert shall be equal to or larger than existing pipes within 500 feet upstream. Pipe should be long enough to allow for the minimum 3:1 beveled ends, figure 7-001. The property owner making the installation shall be responsible for determining proper pipe size.

  • How Do Storm Drains Work?
    How do Storm Drains Work? The storm drainage system helps prevent floods by diverting rainwater into nearby waterways. During rainstorms, water runs off of buildings, roads, and other hard surfaces, picking up trash and pollutants along the way. The water and pollutants flow into storm drains and through underground pipes directly into the nearest stream, pond or water reservoir. What About the Drains in My House? The drains in your house are part of a different system, the wastewater system. Dirty water from inside your home flows into underground pipes that are connected to a wastewater treatment plant. The water from your home is cleaned before it is released back into creeks and streams. Stormwater is Not Treated? That’s right! The storm drainage system carries rainwater directly to creeks, streams, ponds and reservoirs. That is why it’s important to keep trash, motor oil, pesticides, and other chemicals from entering the storm drain – everything that goes in comes out in our waterways. Polluted water is harmful to fish, wildlife, and humans. Stormwater Provides Drinking Water to Us and Others Downstream Never pour or dump anything down a storm drain Keep streets clean Dispose of trash properly Rake leaves and debris away from storm drains Apply lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to directions Call Wilmington’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (below) to report pollution problems All Water is Recycled The same water that existed on earth in the beginning is still here. It continually moves around, through and above our planet as water vapor, liquid, and ice. The water that comes from our faucets may have been drinking water for the first man and woman.
