The City of Valley Center fulfilled all filing requirements for a Kansas Water Pollution Control General MS4 Permit and Authorization to Discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in September 2004. During the first year, our Storm Water Management Plan was submitted.

NPDES General Overview
Water pollution degrades surface waters, making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the NPDES Permit Program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Since it's introduction in 1972, the NPDES Permit Program is responsible for significant improvements to our nation's water quality.
