Missouri Continuing Planning Process

The Continuing Planning Process (CPP) is an informational document for public and environmental interests, state and local government and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The document provides discussions of planning activities and processes and access to additional sources of information and references, including technical guidance documents, memorandums of agreement or legislative updates for those interested in water quality management in the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The ultimate goal of the CPP is to document a comprehensive and efficient water quality management system. The department's recent combining of the Water Pollution Control Program, the Soil and Water Conservation Program and the Public Drinking Water Program into the new Water Protection and Soil Conservation Division, September 1, 2001 will help to achieve this goal. Future revisions to the document and the public participation process will be public noticed and submitted for approval to the Clean Water Commission each year.
