Overland Park holds its own NPDES MS4 permit from KDHE and runs two ordinances: 16.210 requires treatment of runoff from new development and redevelopment, and 15.10.400 requires detention where downstream homes or streets flood.
Chapter 16.210 applies to development disturbing an acre or more, exempting single-lot residential projects, agricultural uses, utility construction and impervious increases under 5,000 square feet. Treatment facility design follows the MARC and APWA Manual of Best Management Practices for Stormwater Quality. Detention under 15.10.400 attaches when a project raises peak discharge and downstream homes or habitable buildings flood in the 1 percent storm, with an escrow alternative for downstream improvements. The city's Kansas permit is M-MO28-SU01, NPDES number KSR410026, running January 2024 through December 2026. Indian Creek, Tomahawk Creek, Coffee Creek and Wolf Creek carry TMDL listings.
The city issues stop work orders, refuses inspections and abates at the owner's expense. Unpaid costs are certified to the County Clerk as a special assessment against the parcel.
