PreMark® Storm Drain Markings
Your message to the public remains visible and doesn’t get washed down the drain.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Fact Sheet 1.0 Storm Water Phase II Overview, the Phase II Final Rule is the next step in the EPA’s effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation’s water resources from polluted storm water runoff. Through the use of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, municipalities and companies are required to implement programs and practices to control polluted storm water runoff. Public education and outreach are Minimum Control Measures and critical elements to any storm water management program.
PreMark® Storm Drain Markings are designed to educate the public and increase awareness about the dangers of pollutants flowing into our water system. These markings include messages such as “No Dumping! Drains to Ocean” and “No Dumping! It Kills”.
Unlike paint that can wash down the drain in a short time, PreMark® preformed thermoplastic markings stay in place so your messages remain easy to read and understand. PreMark® Storm Drain Markings are made of durable preformed thermoplastic and ViziGrip® which provides enhanced visibility and skid resistance for pedestrian safety. There are many designs available with the most typical being two layers of PreMark® consisting of a blue non-beaded base layer with a white beaded stencil top layer.
