Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
In 1987, amendments to the Clean Water Act were put into effect with a comprehensive national program to address pollutants in stormwater runoff. The program covers construction sites, industrial activities and municipal storm sewer systems.
This program resulted in stormwater regulations for the City of St. Louis Park as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delegated permitting authority for Minnesota's NPDES program to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), which developed a general permit that authorizes the city to discharge stormwater.
MPCA issued coverage under MS4 General Permit to the City of St. Louis Park, effective Nov. 18, 2021.
The documents listed below were created to meet the requirements of the MPCA’s permit:
- 2024 SWPPP initiatives
- 2023 SWPPP Minimum Control Measure activities info graph
- 2023 SWPPP highlights
- Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems General Permit
- SWPPP application for reauthorization and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan document
- St. Louis Park storm sewer and receiving waters map
- St. Louis Park pond inventory report
City of St. Louis Park, as a MS4 permittee covered by the 2020 MS4 General Permit, is not required to submit an annual report for calendar year 2022, by June 30, 2023. When MPCA releases its e-service submittal program, the city will be required to report MS4 activities for the previous years. For more information, visit the MPCA website.
