Lane County Stormdrain Cleaning Assistance Program now accepting fall business signups

Lane County's Stormdrain Cleaning Assistance Program (SCAP) is back this fall-and businesses have until October 31 to sign up.

This voluntary program, offered in partnership with Stormwater Protection Systems (SPS), helps businesses keep their stormdrains clean and working for a flat fee of just $70 per drain. Since launching in 2023, more than 580 stormdrains representing 182 businesses have already been cleaned.

Why It Matters

Stormwater often flows directly into rivers and streams, carrying pollutants from parking lots and roads-like heavy metals, oil, pesticides, and fertilizers. Regular stormdrain maintenance keeps waterways clean, reduces flooding, and helps protect the local environment.

Program Details

• $70 per drain covers debris removal, power washing, and disposal of contaminated sediment.
• Businesses are responsible for their privately owned stormdrains.
• The program does not cover repairs, jetting, or oversized drains.

Lane County does not reimburse for this service; it is the responsibility of the business to pay for the service after the cleaning.

Act Now-Deadline October 31!

Lane County businesses must register this fall to lock in service before heavy rains arrive.
