Here are my changes J Thank you
The City of Molalla is completing a project marking each of its storm drains around town with drain markers, as depicted in the photo, to alert the public that their intended use is for rain water only. Per Molalla Municipal Code "any matter other than unpolluted runoff or storm drainage" is considered prohibited discharge. (MMC 13.08.840 Discharges into storm drains, Ord. 2007-07 §1; Ord. 1987-6 §l)
The majority of Molalla's storm drains flow directly into natural drainage ways, creeks or wetlands without settlement in detention ponds or other filtering systems. Any pollutants such as paint, motor oil, antifreeze, non-biodegradable carwash soaps and pesticides that make their way into these drains are discharged into the ecosystem, threatening fish, wildlife, and drinking water supply downstream.
We ask each of our citizens to manage spills and discharges in accordance with the city's rules. Please do your part to keep our waterways safe and clean.
For more information about this project please contact Public Works: 503-829-6855 or dpw@cityofmolalla.com

Hi Dan,
As part of the SEP project proposal, 4. final close-out report, the City has agreed to notify the public in regards to the recent project of placing storm drain markers around town. Additionally, we proposed to include a reference to the MMC on what is prohibited for disposal in the storm inlets and waterways, see attached .pdf.
Will you please type up a public notification for storm drains in accordance with the MMC, including the attached photos, and send it to me for review. I’m planning to submit the report by the end of April.
Thanks,
