Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program

The City of Little Canada has a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit from the MPCA.  The permit involves having a storm water pollution prevention program (SWPPP) that was developed so that public agencies can help reduce pollution in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, etc. The existing permit is expired and all cities have applied for a new permit for the next seven-year cycle. Little Canada's SWPPP is posted on the MPCA Strom Water Website and is open for public comment from 7/27/21 through 8/27/21. Please submit any comments to the MPCA or the City of Little Canada and the City will respond within the 30-day comment period or within seven days of the expiration of the comment period. The SWPPP document can be found here:
