STORM WATER MANAGEMENT


The Public Works Department ensures compliance with State and Federal storm water quality requirements for the City of Prattville. These requirements include development and implementation of a comprehensive municipal storm water management program plan, as well as requirements for monitoring storm water quality. The plan defines the city’s management program and establishes goals for implementation of the five minimum control measures. 

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) presently has jurisdiction over permitting and enforcement of the MS4 Program within the State of Alabama. On July 1, 2016, ADEM issued NPDES permit number ALS000010 to the City of Prattville. The permit requires the city develop and implement a storm water management program comprised of five elements that, when implemented in concert, are expected to significantly reduce of the level of non-point source pollutants discharged to nearby streams and rivers. 


The five elements, or minimum control measures, are:

  1. Public education/public involvement
  2. Illicit discharge detection and elimination
  3. Construction site storm water runoff control
  4. Post-construction storm water management 
  5. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations.
