FILE A GTDO REPORT

Trained citizen volunteers are the life blood of the Get The Dirt Out project.  You can help us take action against one of the biggest problems in our watershed, which is polluted runoff from construction sites.

During the Volunteer Training Workshop, you'll learn how to fill out the site monitoring and reporting form (either water resistant copies or paper forms) and how to take digital photos of what you find.

One of the main goals of this project is to document whether or not the construction site that is being monitored is complying with the standards of Best Management Practices or BMPs. With the use of this information, the Assateague COASTKEEPER® will then be able to follow-up with offending construction companies or report violations to the Maryland Department of Environment.

Part of your responsibility as a Volunteer, will be to File A GTDO Report in one of the following ways:

1. File A GTDO Report Online:   The preferred way to file your reports and photos is to use our GTDO Online Reporting System. Through the use of the Internet, and a few clicks of your mouse button, you will be presented with a web-based form that will allow you to "transfer" the information that you collected from your site monitoring form into our database. You can also transfer up to four (4) photos with each form, all from the comfort of your home or office.

   Please see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the details.

2. Fax Your Report to us at 410-629-1059.  If you have photos, you will need to bring your camera or picture disc for us to download, or bring them on a CD/DVD for us.

3. Deliver your reports and photos to the Assateague Coastal Trust / Coastkeeper offices at 9931 Old Ocean City Boulevard in Berlin, MD. (Map)  If you have photos, you will need to bring your camera or picture disc for us to download, or bring them on a CD/DVD for us.
