Stormwater
Stormwater pollution
is reported to be the largest source of
water quality degradation in the country. This
has resulted in a growing awareness that
stormwater quality should
be protected so that the beauty and recreational appeal of local
water-bodies
can be maintained or even enhanced.
The Town Engineer is
involved with stormwater issues in a
variety of ways:
- The Town has strong development
regulations that require site plan review projects to include
stormwater protection devices as part of the design.
The Town Engineer is available to meet with
applicants to discuss stormwater requirements as they relate to their
project.
- The Town of Freeport
is one of 28 municipalities in Maine that is regulated under the
Clean Water Act Phase II Stormwater Regulatory Program for the
discharge of stormwater. The Town has a five year Stormwater Management
Plan with six control measures: Public Education, Public Participation,
Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination, Construction Runoff
Control, Post Construction Runoff Control, and Pollution
Prevention/Good Housekeeping.
- The Town of Freeport enacted an ordinance in 2004
that prohibits the discharge of non-stormwater items into the storm
drain system. The ordinance says if it’s
not stormwater; don’t dump it down the drain! To
view the ordinance, click here.

about stormwater quality issues, look
at the Town’s Stormwater
web page, with links to other sites.
