Storm Drain Marking
The Coalition works with schools/youth clubs and associations to mark storm drains in the municipalities throughout the watershed.
Contact Ann-Marie Mitroff, Coalition Coordinator at annmarie@groundworkhv.org or (914) 375-2151 to set up a project in your community. This can involve a classroom presentation as well.
Storm drains – or at least what collects in them and is carried by the street to them—are a major source of pollution, not just to the Saw Mill River, but to rivers, streams and coastal waters nationally. This project marks drains and brings information to residents about what they can do to help stop storm water pollution.
Past projects have involved Pleasantville Middle School, Hastings High School’s Environmental Club, Dobbs Ferry St. Christopher’s Clark Academy students, Ardsley Brownies and Cub Scouts, the Hamilton High School Rotary Interact Club in Elmsford, and Beczak and the Emerson Middle School Environmental Club students in Yonkers.
