The City of Lee’s Summit Seeks Feedback on Stormwater Management Plan

The City of Lee’s Summit will host a public meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13, to solicit community feedback on the City’s updated Stormwater Management Plan. The meeting will be held in the Development Conference Room at City Hall, 220 SE Green St. Community members may attend in person to learn more about the plan and provide input.

The Stormwater Management Plan is a required component of the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The City’s current MS4 permit is effective through Sept. 30, 2026, and the Stormwater Management Plan is updated annually to remain in compliance with permit requirements.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has issued a draft MS4 permit to replace the current permit upon its expiration. In response, the City has revised its Stormwater Management Plan to align with proposed changes in the draft permit. The updated plan will take effect following a public review and comment period and approval by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The draft Stormwater Management Plan, draft MS4 permit and draft permit renewal application are available for public review at cityofls.net. In addition to the March 13 public meeting, the City will accept public comments on the draft Stormwater Management Plan and permit renewal application through March 16. A public comment form is available at cityofls.net/public-works/stormwater-education.
