Stormwater Management in Boonsboro

Illicit Discharges

The Town of Boonsboro is required by Federal law to establish an illicit discharge program. Illicit Discharges often include wastes and wastewater from non-stormwater sources. Illicit Discharges enter the stormwater conveyance system through either direct connections (e.g. wastewater piping either mistakenly or deliberately connected to the storm drains) or indirect connections (e.g. infiltration from cracked sanitary sewer systems, spills collected by drain outlets, or used oil dumped directly into a drain.) The Department of Planning & Zoning is responsible for establishing the program. While the wastewater that leaves your home is piped to the Boonsboro Wastewater Treatment Plant, where it is cleaned before it is released into waterways, waste that goes into storm drains is untreated and goes into local streams that flow into Antietam Creek, the Potomac River, and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. Pollutant levels from these Illicit Discharges have been shown in EPA studies to be high enough to significantly degrade water quality and threaten both aquatic wildlife and human health. If you see anything other than stormwater flowing onto Town road surfaces or into the Town’s storm drains, please report it immediately by calling the Town of Boonsboro’s Planning & Zoning Department at 301-432-5690, or by using the linked form.
