Since 2013, property owners in Baltimore have paid a stormwater fee to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay, based on the amount of impervious surface on their land.

The Department of Public Works recently updated these regulations to make them friendlier, for example reducing the number of volunteer hours required for a fee credit.
