House painting in Stoneham, MA, from Nobility Hill Victorians to post-1960 homes, with paint wash water kept out of the town's storm drains.
Stoneham's stormwater bylaw says nobody may dump or discharge a pollutant into the town storm drain system. On exterior jobs we catch paint chips on drop cloths and wash brushes where nothing runs to the street.
The Nobility Hill district has Second Empire and Queen Anne houses with layered trim, while much of the rest of town was built after 1960. Old trim gets careful scraping and priming. Newer siding mostly needs a good wash and two coats.

Footprint changes need stormwater retention
Stoneham's stormwater bylaw (Chapter 11A) says that on lots under one acre, growing a permanent structure's footprint by more than 150 square feet, or impervious area by 10%, needs at least one inch of retention per square foot of new impervious area. The same bylaw bans dumping any pollutant into storm drains. [1]
