Thurmont is proud to be a participant in the Monocacy & Catoctin Watershed Alliance. Working along with Frederick County and other municipalities we have the following goals for water quality in Thurmont and Frederick County:
Pollution Prevention Public outreach and education Assessment of current watershed conditions Support of efforts for improvement and protection where needed.
This program was founded under a NPDES Permit from the Environmental Protection Agency. NPDES stands for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. The permit deals primarily with non-point source pollution, which is pollution that runs off of parking lots, fields, lawns, roads, and other impervious surfaces when it rains.
