Project Overview

Cass County, Missouri continues to experience residential and business development throughout the County. The resulting urbanization will result in an increase of services provided by the County, and a greater demand on the existing stormwater drainage system. 

To better plan for this expected growth, a comprehensive stormwater master plan will be developed for the unincorporated portions of Cass County. The Stormwater Master Plan will be divided into phases and may take several years to complete. Phase 1 will deal primarily with stormwater policies, public involvement, and defining a scope of work for subsequent phases of the Master Plan.

Project Goals and Objectives

Collect Existing Information

The first goal is to assemble existing information relating to stormwater management within Cass County

Public Participation Program

The purpose of the public participation program will be to educate the public on stormwater issues, solicit feedback from local residents, and to help fulfill the County's NPDES Phase 2 requirements for public outreach.

Develop Stormwater Planning Principals

Define the basic policy options that are integral to stormwater management philosophies.

Review Current Stormwater Criterias

A review of stormwater system performance criteria will be conducted. Recommendations for revisions to current criteria will be made as necessary.

Develop Project Scope for Subsequent Study Phases

Based upon the amount of information collected in Phase 1, Burns & McDonnell will identify additional mapping needs, select areas where detailed study is needed, and to identify revenue sources to fund subsequent phases.
