Instead, runoff is directed into gutters, ditches, and storm drains, where it eventually enters area waterways. All property owners in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, are resp ..read more

What To Expect During a Stormwater Inspection? Stormwater runoff, or extra water that flows over the ground, occurs when heavy rain collects on impervious surfaces (such as rooftops, driveways, and parking lots) that don’t allow the water to seep into the ground or follow a natural path to larger waterways.
