Welcome To The Papillion Creek Watershed Partnership Website
    The Papillion Creek Watershed Partnership formed to address our watershed’s critical water quality and flood prevention needs. Our watershed connects and joins our communities, encompassing 402 square miles and more than one-third of Nebraska’s population.
     The Partnership is comprised of 11 local governments that are wholly or partially in the Papillion Creek Watershed. Bellevue, Boys Town, Gretna, La Vista, Omaha, Papillion, Ralston, Douglas County, Sarpy County and the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District have an inter-local cooperative agreement to work together as the Partnership. The northern part of the watershed is in Washington County, a jurisdiction not participating in the Partnership.
     The guiding principles of the Partnership are cooperation, community participation and comprehensive watershed planning. The Partnership works through an open process of looking at our communities’ needs and building consensus for solutions. Open meetings have and will continue to be held to gather public input. The 11 government bodies each decide independently to adopt common policies.
     The City of Omaha has posted a draft guidance document titled Post Construction Stormwater Planning.  This document is meant to help development and redevelopment meet the requirements of their recently amended Stormwater Ordinance Chapter 32 of the Omaha Municipal Code.
     **Documents and presentations from the September 25, 2008 Post Construction Stormwater Management Workshop "Designing for the Future" will be posted on the Publications Page of this website.**
