Sustainable Maryland, an initiative of the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland, is pleased to invite residents of Montgomery County homeowners associations, civic associations, neighborhood groups, congregations, businesses and engaged residents to attend the second 

Montgomery County
STORMWATER SUMMIT FOR HOMEOWNERS 

Stop by OMG table!  Love to see you!

OVERVIEW: 
Learn more about how Montgomery County residents can play a vital role in improving water quality in local streams and rivers, and also help beautify their properties while saving money! Attendees will hear about the County’s RainScapes stormwater management incentive program, where homeowners can receive rebates for rain barrels, pervious pavement, rain gardens, and other conservation landscaping measures. Also, learn more about how to receive credits of up to 80% off your Water Quality Protection Charge (WQPC) by employing specific stormwater management techniques. 

Homeowners associations can also receive assistance with pet waste management and litter reduction, as well as financial incentives for stormwater management measures on community properties. And all community organizations can learn how they can benefit from creating a Stormwater Action Plan to address a variety of issues in their neighborhoods.
 
Light refreshments will be served.
