Callaway County Stormwater Management Plan for the Unincorporated Urbanized Area
Because the areas in and around Jefferson City/Holts Summit have a population density of 1,000 people per square mile, this portion of unincorporated Callaway County is considered an “urbanized area”, as defined by the United States Census Bureau. As such, this portion of the County is a regulated Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and must obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge permit. The County’s MS4 permit was renewed in October 2021 and the County has recently developed an updated Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the applicable areas. This plan addresses all six minimum control measures:
- Public Outreach and Education
- Public Involvement
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Construction Site Runoff Control
- Post-Construction Runoff Control
- Good Housekeeping in Municipal (County) Operations

Property Owner Tips for Improving Water Quality
When rain (or snow) falls and runs off from an area, it is collected by catch basins (stormwater inlets), pipes, and ditches where it is then conveyed to our local streams, ponds, lakes and rivers without being treated. Property owners can play a key role in protecting our waterways from stormwater pollution. The majority of pollution in urban waterways can be linked to our everyday activities. Things you can do to keep our waterways clean:
- Properly dispose of paint, used oil, household chemicals and yard waste
- Carefully apply fertilizers and pesticides (minimize use)
- Wash vehicles at commercial car washes or on pervious surfaces
- Properly maintain vehicles – minimize drips!
- Pick up pet waste
- Maintain septic tanks and other on-site wastewater treatment
- Repair/prevent erosion
- Sweep up excess salt from driveways/sidewalks after snow event
- Properly dispose of trash/litter
Report if you see any dumping into storm drains or ditches:
