Storm Water Management
In 2003, The City of Clive became a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) under the State of Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit regulations. This state regulation requires the City to establish its own Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Management Program. This permit is issued pursuant to the authority of section 402(b) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. C. 1342(b), Iowa Code section 455B.174 and rule 567—64.13, Iowa Administrative Code. Clive, Urbandale, West Des Moines, Waukee Stormwater management fees were implemented August 1, 2005 and are billed monthly to all Clive customers. The stormwater management fees raise revenues to fund the City of Clive’s stormwater management program and facilities. This program brings the City into compliance with federal regulations and safeguards our community directly through improved inspection and maintenance of critical stormwater infrastructure and indirectly through public education and outreach programs.

IIDNR protocols provide our City with suitable guidelines to design a local program that address the IDNR's six Best Management Practices (or BMPs), which are also known as "control measures". These six BMP's are designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from MS4s, to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act. The six BMP categories are:
- Public Education & Outreach Control Measure.
- Public Participation & Involvement Control Measure.
- Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Control Measure.
- Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Measure.
- Post Construction Stormwater Management in New Development & Redevelopment Control Measure.
- Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations & Maintenance Control Measure.
The federal regulations provide flexibility within these six categories of BMPs.
