Creek Stabilization/Storm Sewer

   In accordance with the Clean Water Act, the City of St. Charles has developed a stormwater management plan , (SWMP).  The purpose of the plan is to outline a program which will improve stormwater quality in the City. The plan includes the following items:
  • Public Education and Involvement
  • Detection and Elimination of Illicit Discharge
  • Construction & Development Site Runoff Control
  • Pollution Prevention for the City’s Operations
  • Creekbank Stabilization to prevent erosion
  • Storm Sewer construction Local Flooding Problems

This plan is the result of a 1997 Stormwater Investigation and Modeling Report, a  June 2001 Stormwater Needs Assessment and the permit application required to discharge under the Missouri State Operating Permit.

Storm Sewers
  
Most of the major problems identified in the 1997 Investigation have been completed and provided relief to areas formerly prone to flooding during heavy rains. The Needs Assessment performed in June 2001 has been incorporated into the SWMP and continues to be implemented. Part of the SWMP is to continue identifying and correcting flooding problems related to storm sewers. We are currently reviewing a rating system which will be used to prioritize problem locations.
