Maryland SB189 mandates municipalities to install approved grating systems on new and existing open drainage inlets to prevent debris from entering.

Maryland SB189 requires municipalities to incorporate approved grating systems into the construction of new open drainage inlets and to install such systems on existing ones. These grating systems, which include standard yard inlets, raised grate yard inlets, and trash rack gratings, are designed to allow stormwater runoff while preventing large debris from entering. The gratings must be securely installed to prevent removal without appropriate tools or flood force. This law aims to improve stormwater management and infrastructure protection within municipalities.
