Communities with more than 10,000 people that operate a storm sewer system are required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to have a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit.
The permit includes minimal control measures to prevent pollutants from entering the storm sewer and downstream surface waters like lakes, streams, and wetlands.
This collection of best management practices, procedures, ordinances, and maps is known as the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). Staff must review the program annually and give residents the opportunity to provide feedback.
The SWPPP is available to review on the City website at www.goldenvalleymn.gov/474 and comments are open until Oct 31, 2025.
Forward comments to Engineering Department at EngineeringDept@goldenvalleymn.gov or City of Golden Valley, 7800 Golden Valley Rd, Golden Valley, MN 55427.
