Cleaning of catch basins and reports on catch basin cleanups and maintenance.

Summary

This bill would require the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) to submit annual reports on the inspection, cleanup, and maintenance of catch basins in each community district. The first such report would be required no later than September 17, 2026. The bill would also require DEP to inspect catch basins in accordance with a multi-tiered inspection schedule and to evaluate such schedule at least once every 3 years. Finally, the bill would require DEP to resolve a catch basin clog within 8 business days of inspection or receipt of a complaint, whichever is earlier.
