SUBJECT: 2025 MS4 Stormwater Annual Report
DATE: March 23, 2026 City Council Meeting
Enclosed is a copy of the 2025 City of Menomonie MS4 Annual Report. This report details 2025
efforts in our stormwater program to comply with our Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) permit. This report is submitted annually to the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources by March 31.
The City’s MS4 permit requires action in six minimum control measures:
• Education & Outreach
• Public Involvement & Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
• Construction Site Pollutant Control
• Post-Construction Storm Water Management
• Pollution Prevention
In addition to the minimum control measures, the City is also regulated under the Tainter Lake
and Lake Menomin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
Maintaining compliance with our MS4 permit and TMDL requirements is a collaborative effort
between the Director of Public Works, Environmental Program Coordinator, Building Inspection
Department, Community Services Department and Cedar Corporation.
Highlights of 2025 activities in the City to meet our MS4 permit requirements include:
• Held 16 educational events and presentations led by City staff
• Conducted 3 erosion control inspections on construction sites with more than 1 acre of
land disturbing activity
• Investigated one illicit discharge complaint
• Inspected 114 stormwater outfalls in the City
• Inspected 36 publicly owned stormwater ponds
Page 2 of 2
• Inspected 31 privately owned stormwater ponds
• Approved the construction of 6 new stormwater ponds
• Cleaned 45 catch basins
• Continued to work with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to work
towards concurrence of our completed phosphorus and total suspended solids modeling
in the City’s TMDL area. The City has modeled a 50.5% reduction in total suspended
solids and 45.5% reduction in total phosphorus of the average annual mass discharging
from the entire MS4 to surface waters of the state compared to implementing no
stormwater controls. This analysis does not include the improved water quality impacts
from our street sweeping practices, curbside leaf pickup or private stormwater practices.
Staff are currently working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to
receive concurrence on the submitted modeling results. If the submitted numbers stand,
we would be meeting our current TMDL goals for total suspended solids and total
phosphorus.
If the City Council approves of the 2025 City of Menomonie MS4 report, the appropriate motion
would be, Approve the 2025 City of Menomonie MS4 Stormwater annual report as presented.

MEMORANDUM
David Schofield, Director of Public Works
dschofield@menomonie-wi.gov
715-232-2221 Ext.1020
1
TO: Mayor Knaack & City Council
FROM: David Schofield, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Murals in Menomonie Special Event Permit
DATE: March 23, 2026 City Council Meeting
Murals In Menomonie has proposed a public art event to be held on June 24-28, 2026 in the
following public locations:
• Wilson Park
• 7th Street East (from Wilson Avenue East to 9th Avenue East)
• Lot 7 (5 parking stalls in the northwest corner of the parking lot).
• Broadway Street South (2 parking stalls on the west side of the roadway between 6th
Avenue West and Main Street West).
• 3rd Street East (1 parking stall on the east side of the roadway between Main Street East
and Crescent Street).
• 4th Street East (4 parking stalls on the east side of the roadway between Main Street East
and Wilson Avenue East).
The remainder of sites, and access thereto, are located entirely on private property.
The proposed event will require the temporary closure of a total of twelve parking stalls. The
Parking Utility approved these closures on February 17, 2026.
Three of the murals are located within the Historic District. The Historic Preservation
Commission approved Certificates of Appropriateness for all three on March 9, 2026.
If the City Council concurs with this Special Event Request, the appropriate motion would be
Approve the Special Event Request for the Murals In Menomonie event to be held Wednesday
June 24 through Sunday June 28, 2026 in Wilson Park and Lot 7, and on 7th Street East,
Broadway Street South, 3rd Street East, and 4th Street East, contingent upon proof of
insurance (simple majority).
5 Days. 15 Murals. 200 Artists.
Murals in Menomonie, featuring. the. Walldogs, is a community-driven public art initiative
planned for June 2026 that will bring nationally and internationally recognized artists to
Menomonie to create a series of large-scale murals throughout the city. Over several days,
residents and visitors will be able to watch artists at work as walls are transformed into
vibrant works of art that celebrate Menomonie’s history, culture, and sense of place.
This event is designed to create a lasting impact. The completed murals will remain as
permanent public art installations, enhancing the visual landscape of our downtown and
surrounding areas while contributing to a stronger sense of identity and pride within the
community. Cities across the country have seen mural programs become powerful
placemaking tools, drawing visitors who travel specifically to explore public art.
Murals in Menomonie is also expected to generate significant economic activity. By
attracting visitors, artists, volunteers, and media attention, the event will increase foot
traffic to local businesses, encourage overnight stays, and introduce new audiences to
everything Menomonie has to offer. Throughout the event, visitors will be encouraged to
explore downtown, dine locally, and discover our parks, trails, and cultural attractions.
Equally important is the opportunity for community engagement. Residents will have the
chance to interact with artists, participate in related activities, and witness the creative
process in real time. These shared experiences help strengthen community connections
while making art accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
We respectfully submit this special event permit request and appreciate the City Council’s
consideration and continued support for initiatives that celebrate creativity, strengthen
community pride, and position Menomonie as a welcoming destination for visitors.
