Maryland HB34 requires municipalities to install approved grating systems on new and existing open drainage inlets to prevent debris from entering.

Maryland HB34 mandates that municipalities incorporate approved grating systems into the construction of any new open drainage inlets and install such systems on existing ones. These grating systems must be secured to prevent removal without appropriate tools or by floodwater force. The approved grating systems include standard yard inlets, raised grate yard inlets, and trash rack gratings with at least four sides. The law aims to prevent large debris from entering the drainage inlets, ensuring efficient stormwater runoff management.
