In 2003, the City of Sedalia was issued a General State Operating Permit for the Stormwater Phase II MS4. Sedalia is working towards the goal of reducing stormwater pollution pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and in compliance with the Missouri Clean Water Law. 

The City has developed a Stormwater Management Plan to address the six minimum control measures required by the state. These are:

Coon Creek

1) Public Education and Outreach 

2) Public Involvement/Participation

3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

4) Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control

5) Post-Construction Stormwater Management

6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

These minimal control measures, when combined, will help maintain cleaner water in the City of Sedalia and surrounding areas.
