§ 500.550. Legislative Background.

Latest version.

The Congress of the United States has amended the Clean Water Act of 1972 to reduce pollutants discharged into the waters of the United States by extending National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements regulating stormwater runoff discharge from construction and development activities to the City. The City is subject to the NPDES requirements as an operator of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and the City is therefore obligated by Federal law to develop, implement and enforce minimum "post-construction" stormwater quality treatment standards in compliance with the City's Kansas Water Pollution Control General MS4 Permit.
