Did you know that storm drains in the City of Dayton drain directly to our rivers without any treatment?

When it rains, stormwater runoff flows across streets, roofs, yards, and parking lots and can pick up potential pollutants including:
• Litter/Trash (on the ground)
• Sediment (from construction sites/disturbed land)
• Nutrients (from lawn fertilizers)
• Bacteria (from animal and human waste)
• Pesticides (from lawn and garden chemicals)
• Metals (from rooftops and roadways)
• Petroleum by-products (from leaking vehicles)

Polluted stormwater runoff can be harmful to plants, animals, and people.

By adopting a storm drain, you can be the first line of defense in preventing pollutants from entering our rivers and streams.

In agreeing to Adopt a Storm Drain, I am committing to the following practices:

I will do a visual check of my storm drain at least once a week. *

I will clean-up around the storm drain. This may include leaves, debris and litter. *

Yes

Please select the actions you will take to reduce stormwater pollution. *

Use lawn chemicals sparingly or not at all.

I will pick up after my pet.

I will tell my family, friends, and neighbors about the importance of preventing storm drain pollution in order to protect our rivers and streams.

I will sweep my driveway instead of using a hose.

I will keep leaves out of the storm drain.

I will fix vehicle leaks promptly or capture the leak.

I will wash my car on the grass or go to a car wash (where it discharges to the sanitary system).

I will pick up litter in my neighborhood.

Required

If my storm drain does not have a "No Dumping Drains to River" medallion, I will request one from the City of Dayton (theresa.mcgeady@daytonohio.gov) and place it on my storm drain. *

Yes
