Oak Grove public-works reports corrective action plan after MS4 stormwater audit

City public-works staff told the Board of Aldermen on Aug. 18 that the city underwent an MS4 stormwater permit audit in June and will submit required corrective actions and documentation by Dec. 31, 2025.

Chris reported the audit examined six program areas including public education and outreach, illicit-discharge detection, construction-site runoff control and municipal operations. Staff said the audit identified documentation gaps and that the city is preparing a corrective action plan, improving inspection and erosion-control documentation and updating social-media outreach records. Chris said no board action was required at the meeting; staff will provide ongoing progress reports.

Board members asked about how staff will reduce audit findings in the future; staff said they have begun implementing improved documentation and processes and will follow up with the board as corrective actions are completed.
