“How to report problems in the creek
” Illegal discharges are common in the creek and quite often the DEP is able to track the source and have the problem fixed. But they can’t do it without the help of residents. The key to a successful outcome is prompt reporting with lots of details, pictures and maps. There are two ways to report:
“Call 311 – this non-emergency number will take your report and relay it to the right department. 311 is only available Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Call 911 for emergency service when 311 is closed.
“Email Environmental Compliance Supervisor directly at Steve.Martin@montgomerycountymd.gov Be sure to include photos and a map along with the date of observation. Please copy us at info@LFWA.org if you do email. We will also follow up.
“Examples of problems you might report include paint, construction silt, dead fish, funny smells, weird colored water, lots of foam from soap suds, and of course, plain old dumping,
