Public Education for Storm Water Management

Summary

In 2012, the City of St. Clairsville took over the management of its storm water runoff. The Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating what gets put into the streams and riparian corridors of our community. St. Clairsville, being a municipality, must acquire a permit from the EPA each year due to our storm water runoff going directly into surface waters such as creeks and streams. St. Clairsville has adopted a storm water management plan and a water quality ordinance as required by the EPA designed to protect properties and surface waters from damage caused by storm water runoff. These documents are available for review at the Municipal Building. The City of St. Clairsville intends to protect our soil from erosion and our water courses from contaminants.

Important information for residents, businesses and property owners in the City

Absolutely no storm water can be tied into the municipal sanitary sewer or storm drain system.
