This project will provide funds to meet the State of Maryland requirements that all industrial sites be surveyed and a plan developed to mitigate stormwater runoff. Work under this project includes concrete curbing to channel rainwater, oil/grit separators to filter stormwater for quality control, modifications to retention systems, the installation of a surface pond for stormwater management quality control at the Randolph Bus and Maintenance Depot, and other items to improve stormwater management systems at other depot sites. This project is reviewed by the interagency committee for capital programs that affect other county agencies to develop the most cost effective method to comply with state regulation. This project also will address pollution prevention measures that were formally addressed in the County Water Quality PDF. Federal and State laws require MCPS to upgrade and maintain stormwater pollution prevention measures at schools and support facilities. The State of Maryland, Department of the Environment, through the renewal of Montgomery County's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, has included MCPS as a co-permitee under its revised current Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System MS4 permit, subject to certain pollution prevention regulations and reporting requirements not required in the past. As a co-permittee, MCPS will be required to develop a system-wide plan for complying with MS4 permit requirements. The plan could include infrastructure improvements that reduce the potential for pollution to enter into the stormwater system and area streams. A portion of the plan also will include surveying and documenting, in a GIS mapping system, the stormwater systems at various facilities. An FY 2022 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to address stormwater runoff at various MCPS facilities throughout the school system. An FY2024 appropriation and amendment to the FY 2023-2028 CIP was approved to continue this level of effort project and to provide funding to upgrade/replace water fixtures throughout the school system to comply with the Safe School Drinking Water Act legislation. An FY 2025 appropriation is requested to continue this level of effort project.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
