Stormwater BINGO - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  17. The Federal Legislation program that provided the legal basis for the national pollution discharge elimination system passed in 1972.
    Clean Water Act
  18. The point in which runoff water exits a drainage system and discharges into a receiving waterbody.
    Outfall
  19. A shallow landscape depression with plants and soil designed to slow, capture, and treat stormwater runoff.
