Between June 13, 2016 and December 31, 2016, a total of 64 tons of waste from 1,811 residents was collected. 291 E. Hoffmeister Location 4100 Seven Hills Drive Location Page 8 Additional MCM 2 Activities: MSD continued to organize with partner organizations an annual Plan Area stream clean-up event. Each co-permittee will participate with the planned event, or participate in their own clean-up activity in the community. With success and commitment from partners, the event will become an annual event. Responsibility: Co-permittees Status: Appendix G contains a summary of the co-permittees’ response to this goal. Forty-five (45) co-permittees reported participating in a Plan Area clean-up event, providing labor, equipment, disposal tools, and/or marketing activity. MSD, with input from the St. Louis municipality stakeholders, is addressing this goal through the organization of three major annual clean-up areas within the District. MSD partners with an existing, major clean-up effort currently in place in each area and organizes the participation of the co-permittees within the area during the clean-up. Three major clean-ups were chosen as follows: Operation Clean Stream in the Meramec watershed organized by the Open Space Council, River des Peres Watershed Trash Bash organized by the River des Peres Watershed Coalition, and the Confluence Trash Bash in the Missouri and northern Mississippi watersheds organized by various partners. During the reporting period, Operation Clean Stream and the River des Peres Watershed Trash Bash resulted in the collection and proper management of 14 tons of trash, 3.7 tons of recycled metal and plastic bottles, and 275 tires. The Confluence Trash Bash took place on March 19, 2016 and the results not included in this report period. Volunteers at River des Peres Trash Bash Page 9 Additional MCM 2 Activities by Co-permittees: See Appendix F for a listing of all other public participation activities reported by co-permittees. Twenty-four (24) co-permittees sponsored, assisted, or cooperated with community groups on projects. The most popular events are storm drain marking and reforestation. MSD continued financial sponsorship of the St. Louis Audubon Society Bring Conservation Home program. Bring Conservation Home provides on-site assistance to small private landowners for the restoration of native plants and animal habitat on their grounds. Participants are encouraged to implement BMPs for yard waste and install rain gardens to manage stormwater. The Bring Conservation Home website is located at: http://stlouisaudubon.org/BCH/ MCM 3 – Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Annual Plan Goal: Reach at least 20% of MSD’s industrial customers each year with an illicit storm water discharges brochure as measured by number of brochures produced and distributed. Responsibility: MSD Status: MSD’s Division of Environmental Compliance Industrial Pretreatment Program, through their facility inspections, distributed illicit storm water discharges brochures to 404 industrial customers explaining the best management practices for facility maintenance, fleet maintenance, waste management and spill prevention. The distribution of brochures to this target group represented 37% of our total industrial users. Note that the MSD pretreatment program schedules inspections of industrial users on an annual, two-year or four-year schedule depending on the industry’s regulatory classification. Annual Plan Goal: Illicit discharge detection surveys of all area streams will continue with 1,400 miles of open channel inspection reported during the permit term, averaging 280 miles of streams surveyed per year over 5 years. MSD will report stream miles inspected, the findings of the inspection, and the actions taken. Status: During the reporting period, the channel inspection team surveyed 146 miles of stream looking for illicit discharges, waste disposal problems, and infrastructure maintenance needs. Sixteen (16) potentially illicit discharges were recorded in the MSD geographic information system (GIS) database. Nine (9) of those findings were investigated and confirmed to be illicit discharges, including: • One (1) broken water line that was repaired by the City of Kirkwood. • Two (2) discharges related to land disturbance sites that were resolved by the jurisdictional municipality in one case, and the property owner in another. • Two (2) discharges of sediment from non-construction sites that were resolved a property owner and jurisdictional municipality. Page 10 • Three (3) discharges from failing residential sewer systems. All discharges were eliminated by the home owners with cost share assistance provided by the City of Kirkwood’s lateral repair program. • One (1) non-dechlorinated residential pool discharge that was resolved by the owner. Seven (7) of the 16 findings were investigated and ultimately classified as permissible discharges. Fifty-six (56) waste findings resulting from improper disposal of yard waste (55 findings) and trash (1 finding) were identified by the stream survey team. In response to these observations, 61 door hangers were distributed to area residences to educate them on proper waste disposal techniques and the impacts to streams from yard waste and trash. While no animal waste was found in a channel, the potential for animal waste runoff was noted at five sites. Such sites included “hobby” farms and horse stables, and a single backyard chicken coop. One (1) educational door hanger was delivered to the property with the chicken coop as a result of its close proximity to the stream channel. Two (2) blockages were observed and reported to the responsible party for clearing. Blockages were generally observed where open channels enter the upstream end to an enclosed storm sewer. In addition, 103 findings not related to illicit discharges, but to infrastructure maintenance needs were identified. Fifty-eight (58) exposed or potentially damaged structures including, but not limited to, sanitary sewer pipes or manholes were identified and referred to the MSD Engineering Planning Division for asset management purposes. Of these, 29 were also referred to MSD Operations Department for further investigation and/or repair in order to prevent leaks or reduce infiltration to the sanitary system. Additional infrastructure findings were as follows: • Twenty-one (21) active sanitary lines constructed of ductile iron material were recorded for information only purposes. • Two (2) missing manhole covers were called into MSD Customer Service, and MSD Operations Department responded in emergency status to replace them. • Twenty-two (22) infrastructure findings were unrelated to MSD’s sewer network. Fourteen (14) of these findings were private wastewater pipes connected to MSD’s sanitary system. Homeowners with exposed wastewater pipes constructed of material other than ductile iron were notified of the possible risks of pipe failure and requirements for meeting local plumbing code. MSD’s Division of Environmental Compliance also responded to 64 complaints related to illicit stormwater discharges. Nineteen (19) of these complaints were found to be permissible discharges. The remaining 45 complaints were found to be related to illicit activity and were referred to and/or remedied by the responsible party. Page 11 Annual Plan Goal: MSD will inspect outdoor waste handling areas at restaurants as part of the interceptor/grease trap inspections, and report the number of inspections and violations. Responsibility: MSD Status: MSD’s Division of Environmental Compliance, through their restaurant inspections, inspected 1,350 facilities. The Food Service Establishment Inspection form is the checklist for the inspection and includes an item concerning the acceptability of outside trash and grease disposal areas. Trash dumpsters are inspected to ensure trash is properly stored and not leaving the property. Facility contacts are notified of the requirements and the results of their inspection. Failure to maintain these areas properly can result in a Notice of Illegal Discharge to a stormwater system as a violation of MSD ordinance 12559. During the reporting period, two facilities were issued written notice of violations based on failing the stormwater section of the MSD Food Service Establishment Inspection. MSD also distributed 1,075 grease interceptor brochures to food establishments. MSD maintains a database of 4,429 active facilities to track periodic inspections. MCM 4 – Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Annual Plan Goal: Municipalities and St. Louis County will report permits issued by name and area disturbed. This information was requested by MDNR for coordination to ensure land disturbance program compliance. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: The listing of permits issued are found on the table titled Land Disturbance Program Regulating Private Development – Permits Issued in each of the co-permittees attached Reports. A total of 125 permits were issued during the reporting period. Eighteen (18) municipalities contract with St. Louis County for permitting and code enforcement. A summary of the reported numbers of co-permittee issued permits is shown in Appendix H. Annual Plan Goal: Annually report the number of formal, written notices of violation and further enforcement actions taken, and the companies they were taken against. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: The listing of NOVs issued is found on the table titled Land Disturbance Program Regulating Private Development – NOVs and Enforcement Action in each of the co- permittees attached Reports. A total reported 22 were issued. A summary of the reported numbers of co-permittee issued NOVs is shown in Appendix H. Page 12 MCM 5 – Post-Construction Stormwater Management Annual Plan Goal: MSD will report the number of BMPs approved/installed, and the number of BMPs inspected to ensure proper operation and maintenance. Responsibility: MSD Status: Under MSD’s Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Drainage Facilities, new development and redevelopment projects are required to submit for approval, a Stormwater Management Facilities (BMP) Operation and Maintenance Design Report and Plan, including continuing resources, procedures and schedules to be used. Since implementation of the water quality BMP requirements in October 2006, 1,387 projects representing 4,818 BMPs have been constructed, permitted for construction, or under review by MSD’s Planning Division. The most frequent of the BMP categories used was bioretention representing 49% of the BMPs, followed by permeable pavement representing 17% of the BMPs. All stormwater drainage facilities are inspected by MSD to ensure proper installation prior to granting construction approval. Privately owned BMPs are maintained by property owners. MSD follows its BMP O&M enforcement plan to ensure the owners install, operate and maintain the BMPs according to the approved plans. The Rules and Regulations require property owners to submit an annual report of maintenance to ensure compliance with the BMP Maintenance Plan. In a letter dated December 16, 2016, MSD reminded 714 BMP site owners to submit their maintenance reports. The initial MSD BMP inspection frequency contained in the MSD Stormwater Management Facilities (BMP) Operation and Maintenance Enforcement Response Plan is three years. MSD initiated 20 enforcement actions resulting from 440 BMP inspections performed on private BMPs within the MSD service area. Post-Construction BMPs Built, Permitted for Construction, or Under Review as of 12/31/16 Bioretention 49% Infiltration BMPs 1% Engineered Swales 4% Permeable Pavement 17% Cisterns 1% Ponds 1% Storm Credits 4% Surface Sand Filters 4% Underground Sand Filters 1% Underground Manufactured Filters 1% HDS Units 6% Other 11% Page 13 Annual Plan Goal: MSD will report the number of developments utilizing the conceptual review service. Responsibility: MSD Status: MSD offers the development and engineering community a conceptual review service that will evaluate a project’s sanitary and stormwater requirements early in the design phase of the project, prior to extensive engineering by the customer, to ensure acceptability of the conceptual design under MSD’s Rules and Regulations. MSD offers a quick “Basic” review, and a more “Detailed” review for an additional cost for more complex projects. Seventeen (17) conceptual reviews were performed. 2007-2008 Plan Goal: Co-permittees will implement procedures to ensure all applicable private and public projects involving stormwater management are reviewed and approved by MSD. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: During the 2007-2008 Plan Year, co-permittees were instructed that procedures must be in place and implemented to ensure that all private and public projects involving stormwater management are reviewed and approved by MSD. This includes any project involving stormwater management, any altering of any storm drainage channel, altering of site drainage or flood plain, any project that connects to the storm sewer system or open channel, and all land disturbance projects over one acre. Fifty-six (56) co-permittees have reported completed this goal. The co-permittees’ individual status under this goal is summarized in Appendix J. 2008-2009 Plan Goal: MSD and partners will begin distributing educational materials to municipalities, developers and design engineers on MSD’s urban BMPs, and to promote the use of non-structural credits and the benefits of stormwater management planning prior to land disturbance. Responsibility: MSD Status: Under a 2008-2009 goal, MSD and partners developed an educational tool titled Site Design Guidance-Tools for Incorporating Post-Construction Stormwater Quality Protection into Concept Plans and Land Disturbance Permitting. Co-permittees were instructed in a letter dated April 27, 2009 to implement the Site Design Guidance document or an equivalent procedure to ensure they are in compliance with second term permit language in section 4.2.5.1 to assess site characteristics at the beginning of the construction design phase to ensure adequate planning for stormwater compliance to mimic pre-construction runoff conditions on all new development and utilize water quality strategies on all redevelopment projects to the maximum extent practicable. Fifty-four (54) co-permittees reported that they have implemented the “Site Design Guidance” or an equivalent procedure. See Appendix K for a summary of co-permittee responses. However, Black Jack is known to contract with St. Louis County for land disturbance plan review and code enforcement, and St. Louis County Highway Department has implemented the Guidance under their SWPPP review, which is conducted for this contract city. Therefore, the actual total is 55 co-permittees implementing a procedure. Page 14 2008-2009 Plan Goal: Municipalities and St. Louis County will adopt and implement at least one additional directed growth planning and zoning strategy to protect water quality, such as green space and buffer criteria in overlay zoning and PUDs, or stream buffers from the P&Z booklet or equivalent conservation method. Cities that have previously implemented ordinances or procedures that require better site design, such as stream buffers or minimum open space requirements or maximum impervious surface requirements utilizing at least two strategies throughout their community will have satisfied this goal. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: See Appendix I for co-permittees listed post-construction ordinances/strategies. Forty-nine (49) co-permittees reported at least two planning and zoning strategies to require better site designs to protect water quality. MCM 6 – Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Annual Plan Goal: Training in BMPs will continue as refresher seminars and workshops, and as BMP introduction for new employees as co-permittees implement their ongoing employee training programs. MSD will provide BMP refresher workshops for the co- permittees. Co-permittees will report on the number of employees trained. Responsibility: Co-permittees Status: Forty-nine (49) co-permittees provided refresher training to their employees on stormwater BMPs. A summary of the number of co-permittees’ employees trained is included in Appendix L. MSD hosted four Phase II Stormwater Refresher workshops for municipal employees on good housekeeping and pollution prevention in municipal operations at the City of Maryland Heights Government Center; Two (2) on November 16, 2016 and two on December 6, 2016. The workshops were an hour and thirty minutes, and provided training on stormwater good housekeeping BMPs for municipal operations. One-hundred-seventy-four (174) employees representing 27 co-permittees were in attendance. December 6, 2016 MSD Training Workshop As reported in the 2012-2013 annual report, MSD ceased the pre- and post-tests for the municipal stormwater pollution prevention training. The tests were given to measure effectiveness of the training. The eleven-question test measured understanding of pollution sources and BMPs in municipal operations. In the 2012-2013 Annual Report, an average increase of 1% in test scores was noted on the post-test score from attendees of the MSD refresher workshops, based on 192 tests. The average post-test score was 90%. These test results were evidence that stormwater BMP training has been effective and that knowledge is being retained by co-permittee employees attending the training. Page 15 MSD encouraged co-permittees to borrow a DVD package for their use when training their employees. The stormwater pollution prevention training DVD was made available by MSD on loan to co-permittees to review with their employees. Three (3) municipal co- permittees provided in-house training to their employees using the DVD, reaching 70 employees. In a letter dated December 12, 2016, MSD mailed out the MSD workshop handout material and the DVD package availability offer to co-permittees not attending the November and December BMP workshops. As part of MSD’s efforts to maintain employee awareness and training, under MSD’s Operation and Maintenance Program for Stormwater Pollution Prevention, MSD provided 277 employees classroom training on July 13, September 20, 21, 28, 29, and October 19, 20, 2016. In addition, a total of 26 MSD staff attended webinars on stormwater management and green infrastructure. Annual Plan Goal: All co-permittees will inspect their facilities to ensure implementation of best management practices and report the number of inspections annually. Inspection findings will be incorporated into the co-permittee’s program review and employee training program. Responsibility: Co-permittees Status: Thirty-three (33) co-permittees reported performing inspections. Appendix M contains a summary of the co-permittees’ response to this goal. The MSD Division of Environmental Compliance performed inspections of the three MSD maintenance yards. Mintert Maintenance Yard was inspected on July 11, 2016, Sulphur Maintenance Yard was inspected on July 14, 2016, and Grand Glaize Maintenance Yard was inspected on July 18, 2016. MSD has a total of seven site specific wastewater operating permits. These facilities have Phase I permit conditions related to stormwater, and the inspections are not conducted or reported under the MS4 permit. MSD also maintains a land disturbance stormwater permit, MO-R100, for its sewer and treatment plant construction work. Page 16 Annual Plan Goal: St. Louis County and municipalities will report salt usage per lane mile (as actual or estimated), the application equipment and method used, and application rate(s) selected and the selection methodology used in snow and ice removal from roadways. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: Appendix N contains a summary of the co-permittees’ response to this goal. Fifty-five (55) co-permittees provided data. In total, the co-permittees in St. Louis County spread 9,113 tons of road salt over 30,822 lane miles of roadway from June 13, 2016 through December 31, 2016, resulting in an application rate of 591 lb/lane-mile. Co-permittee winter deicing brine system 2008-2009 Plan Goal: All municipalities with parks will post pet waste signs in the parks. Responsibility: Municipalities and St. Louis County Status: Appendix O contains a summary of the co-permittees’ response to this goal. Fifty-six (56) co-permittees reported that they have pet waste signs in each of their parks or green space. A total of 308 parks are represented in the report. Page 17 C2) Overall Compliance with Permit Conditions and SWMP Assessment of the appropriateness of the identified BMPs: Status: On June 10, 2015, SWMP steering committee members met to review and discuss implementation of the 2007 second term SWMP ongoing goals.
