Stormwater Management Plan Development
On December 14, 2016, the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer, St. Louis County, and 59
St. Louis County Municipalities were issued a General State Operating Permit MO-
R040005 for the MSD Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. This permit is
required by the Federal Clean Water Pollution Control Act and was issued by the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). The permit’s facility name is
“MSD Small MS4 Co-Permit.”
This permit requires municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) to implement
best management practices (BMPs) via an iterative process to reduce the discharge
of pollutants into MS4 to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) for the goal of
attainment with Missouri’s Water Quality Standards. To meet this requirement,
MS4s must develop a stormwater management plan (SWMP) that implements the
permit’s requirements for the following six minimum control measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Participation and Involvement
3. Illicit Discharge and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Control
5. Post-Construction Runoff Control
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
The 2016 Permit allows permittees one year of the effective date to revise their
SWMP. To comply with the revised permit conditions, MSD and its co-permittees
are submitting this SWMP to the MDNR. The 2012 St. Louis County SWMP that
MSD submitted with its permit application is superseded by this document.
All BMPs shall be reviewed and evaluated for effectiveness at the end of year five to
determine if they should be replaced or modified in the next permit cycle and
Stormwater Management Plan.

Stormwater Management Plan Coordination
Applicability A.
The 1999 Phase II Stormwater Regulations were promulgated to provide
appropriate stormwater management for political subdivisions in urbanized areas
which were exempted under the 1990 (Phase I) regulations. Appendix 6,
Governmental Entities Located Fully or Partially Within an Urbanized Area, of the
preamble to the USEPA’s December 8, 1999 rule listed most of the political
subdivisions in St. Louis County as entities requiring a Phase II NPDES Permit.
University City was added additionally as a co-permittee, based on the population
served by separate storm sewers and other relevant factors.
Permitting Strategy B.
Missouri’s Phase II Stormwater Regulations for small MS4s are contained in 10
CSR 20-6.200. The statute allows regulated Small MS4s to seek coverage under a
general permit or under a site-specific permit. MSD and the other regulated political
subdivisions in St. Louis County have received the general permit. While MSD and
each political subdivision that is regulated by the Phase II regulations and located
within MSD’s boundaries has received its own operating permit, all have agreed to
coordinate permit compliance activities as co-permittees. The co-permittee strategy
encourages cooperation among municipal governments, a watershed approach to
reducing pollution, and the sharing of legal, financial, and administrative
responsibilities.
Figure 2 on page 3 shows the St. Louis County municipalities and MSD’s
boundaries. MSD’s boundaries cover approximately 525 square miles, and will
henceforth be referred to as the “Plan Area.” Although there are ninety
municipalities located within MSD’s county service area, only fifty-nine and the St.
Louis County received the MS4 permit. Two municipalities in St. Louis County,
Pacific and Eureka, are located outside of MSD’s service area and are not part of
the co-permittee group. Appendix A lists the 61 permitted entities in the group.

Plan Area Watersheds C.
St. Louis County stormwater drains into three major watersheds: the Mississippi
River, the Meramec River, and the Missouri River. All stormwater runoff from the
County ultimately enters the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River forms the
eastern boundary of the southernmost and northernmost portions of the Plan Area
with the remainder entering the western boundary of the City of St. Louis and its
combined sewer system. The Meramec River generally forms the southern
boundary of the Plan Area except for a portion in the west of the County where the
border includes land south of the Meramec River that is drained by its tributaries.
The Missouri River forms the northern boundary of the Plan Area. Many small
tributaries feed into each of these three major rivers. Figure 3 shows the location of
stream tributaries within the major watersheds of the Plan Area.
Figure 3, St. Louis County Watersheds

Responsibility D.
MSD is recognized as the coordinating authority of the SWMP under the St. Louis
Metropolitan Small MS4 Stormwater Permit, MO-R040005. Each co-permittee has
been assigned responsibility for specific BMPs to comply with the six MCMs related
to their governmental purpose. For example,
Public Education and Outreach (MCM 1) on stormwater impacts and Public
Involvement and Participation (MCM 2) can best be coordinated by the MSD,
with specific tasks performed with municipal support.
Since MSD already has responsibility to operate and maintain the separate
storm sewer systems in the county, it carries the bulk of the responsibility to
comply with the requirements of MCM 3, Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination.
St. Louis County and municipalities, who operate land disturbance programs,
are largely responsible for implementing BMPs to control pollution from land
disturbance activities and compliance with MCM 4 requirements.
For MCM 5, because MSD is the recognized continuing authority for public
sewer extensions within its jurisdictional boundaries and has overall plan
review responsibilities for stormwater management, it is responsible for post-
construction structural BMPs. St. Louis County and municipalities, who
maintain land use and zoning authority, are responsible for implementing
post-construction nonstructural BMPs that need to be implemented in
conjunction with MSD’s efforts.
All co-permittees are responsible for ensuring their own municipal operations
comply with requirements under MCM 6, Pollution Prevention/Good
Housekeeping for Municipal Operations.
SWMP Responsibility E.
The person primarily responsible for the SWMP is the MSD Program Manager for
Environmental Compliance Programs. Contact information is as follows.

Each municipality and St. Louis County also has a person primarily responsible for
the SWMP. That contact information is provided in Appendix B.
Watershed Water Quality
Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act requires states to identify water
bodies that do not meet water quality standards (impaired waters) after applying the
existing regulations. Table 1 shows Plan Area water bodies with segments on the
2016 303(d) listing.

Minimum Control Measure Number 1, Public Education
and Outreach of Stormwater Impacts (MCM1)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.1.1 of the 2016 Permit requires the permittee to implement a public
education program to distribute educational material to the community or conduct
equivalent outreach activities about the impact of stormwater discharges on
waterbodies and steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff.
As part of the SWMP, the Public Education and Outreach Program shall include the
following information at a minimum:
4.2.1.1.1 A plan on how target audiences are identified for the public
education program who are likely to have significant stormwater
impacts (including commercial and industrial entities):
4.2.1.1.2 A plan to inform individuals and households about steps they
can take to reduce stormwater pollution;
4.2.1.1.3 A plan to inform individuals and groups on how to become
involved in the SWMP (with activities such as local stream and
lake restoration activities);
4.2.1.1.4 The outreach strategy, including the mechanisms (e.g., printed
brochures, newspapers, media, workshops, etc...) to reach
target audiences; and
4.2.1.1.5 The pollutant(s) sources that the permittee’s education program
is designed to address.
Table 3 provides the specific BMPs that will be used to comply with 4.2.1.1.1-
4.2.1.1.4. Pollutant sources (4.2.1.1.5) are addressed below.
Pollutant Sources B.
1. Pet Waste
Pet waste left on the ground pollutes stormwater when it rains or snows. Pollutants
associated with pet waste include bacteria, ammonia, oxygen demand, and
nutrients (nitrogen).
2. Yard Management
Yard waste such as leaves, grass clippings, weeds, brush, and small twigs that are
disposed of along a creek or in a storm drain can impact water quality. Yard waste
9
decaying in creeks decomposes and creates low dissolved oxygen, releases
nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), and elevates suspended solids.
Stormwater containing fertilizers and pesticides from incorrect application and/or
improper storage can also cause environmental problems (e.g., toxicity to aquatic
life). Good management of fertilizers application is consistent with the goals of
Missouri’s Nutrient Reduction Strategy.
3. Individual Sewage Disposal Systems
Commonly known as septic systems, these systems are designed to hold, treat, and
dispose of household wastewater. Systems that are not properly installed and
regularly serviced allow bacteria, viruses, nutrients, and ammonia to enter
groundwater and streams.
4. Winter Deicing and Storage Activities
Significant levels of salt (e.g., sodium chloride and calcium chloride) in waters can
occur when salt is applied on roads, parking lots and driveways during deicing
activities. Chloride is highly soluble and very mobile in water. High levels of chloride
are toxic to aquatic life.
5. Household Hazardous Waste
Many products around the home are hazardous because they contain chemicals
that are toxic, corrosive, flammable, or reactive. Though usually safe if used
according to the directions, when these products are no longer usable or wanted,
they become household hazardous waste. If dumped onto the ground or poured
into the storm sewer, household hazardous waste can contaminate groundwater
and streams.
6. Land Disturbance
Land disturbance is dredging, clearing, grading, excavating, transporting or filling
from construction activities including but not limited to subdivisions, shopping
centers, and road projects. Sediment is the primary pollutant from land disturbance
activities.
7. Fats, Oils, and Grease
Fats, oil, and grease (FOG) are found in common foods and food ingredients such
as meat, fish, butter, cooking oil, gravy, sauces, mayonnaise, and food scraps.
There are also “hidden oils,” such as salad dressing, syrup, batter and cheese.
When FOG is poured down the drain, it can form blockages that restrict wastewater
10
flow, eventually causing a blockage. Blockages can cause sewer overflows that
pollute streams.
8. Swimming Pools
Discharges (drains, overflows, and filter backwash water) of chlorinated pool water
and saltwater to a storm sewer or stream contain pollutants such as elevated
suspended solids, chlorides, and abnormal pH. These pollutants impact many
species of aquatic life.
9. Industrial Activities
Stormwater runoff from industrial facilities can easily become polluted by metals,
chemicals, sediment, fertilizers, and trash. When exposed to the atmosphere, many
industrial activities contribute to stormwater pollution (such as metal grinding and
polishing, vehicle/equipment maintenance, improper disposal of hazardous waste,
and more). Wastes, residues, and byproducts from these activities can enter storm
drains and streams harming aquatic life and impacting water quality.

Minimum Control Measure Number 2, Public Involvement
and Participation (MCM2)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.2.1 of the 2016 Permit requires the permittee to implement a public
involvement/participation program that provides opportunities for public involvement
in the development and oversight of the permittee’s SWMP, and provides
opportunities for public involvement of the permittee’s renewal application. The

Minimum Control Measure Number 3, Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination (MCM3)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.3.1 of the 2016 Permit requires the permittee to develop, implement,
and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges, as defined in 10
CSR 20-6.200 and 40 CFR 122.34(b)(3), into the permittee’s regulated Small MS4.
As part of the SWMP document, the permittee’s illicit discharge detection and
elimination program shall include the development and implementation of, at a
minimum:
4.2.3.1.1 A storm sewer map showing the location of all constructed
outfalls and the names and locations of all receiving waters of
the state that receive discharges from those outfalls. The
permittee shall describe the sources of information used for the
map(s), and how the permittee plans to verify the outfall
locations with field surveys. If already completed, the permittee
shall describe how the map was developed and how the map
will be regularly updated. The permittee shall make the map
information available to the Department upon request;
4.2.3.1.2 To the extent allowable under state or local law an effective
prohibition, through ordinance or other regulatory mechanism,
of non-stormwater discharges into the permittee’s storm sewer
system and implementation of appropriate enforcement
procedures and actions. The permittee shall identify the
mechanism (ordinance or other regulatory mechanism) the
permittee will use to effectively prohibit illicit discharges into the
Small MS4. If the permittee needs to develop this mechanism,
describe the permittee’s plan and implementation schedule. If
the permittee’s ordinance or regulatory mechanism is already
developed, include a copy of the relevant sections with the
permittee’s SWMP;
4.2.3.1.3 A plan and implementation schedule to detect and address
non-stormwater discharges, including discharges from illegal
dumping and spills, to the permittee’s system;
4.2.3.1.4 A dry weather field screening plan for non-stormwater flows
and field tests of selected chemical parameters as indicators of
discharge sources. The plan shall also address on-site sewage
19
disposal systems that flow into the permittee’s storm drainage
system;
4.2.3.1.5 Procedures for locating priority areas which include areas with
higher likelihood of illicit connections (e.g., areas with older
sanitary sewer lines) or ambient sampling to locate impacted
reaches;
4.2.3.1.6 Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge,
including the specific techniques the permittee will use to detect
the location of the source;
4.2.3.1.7 Procedure for eliminating the illicit discharge;
4.2.3.1.8 A plan to ensure through appropriate enforcement procedures,
including fines, and actions that the permittee’s illicit discharge
ordinance (or other regulatory mechanism) is implemented;
4.2.3.1.9 A plan to inform public employees, businesses and the general
public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and
improper disposal of waste. The permittee shall describe how
this plan will coordinate with all other minimum control
measures, monitoring, and TMDL implementation (if
applicable);
4.2.3.1.10 A plan to address non-stormwater discharges or flows (i.e.,
illicit discharges) the permittee identifies as significant
contributors of pollutants to the regulated Small MS4 including
authorized non-stormwater discharges contained in Section
1.2.2.2 of the permit.1
Applicability B.
An illicit discharge is any discharge to the stormwater system that is not composed
entirely of stormwater, except for discharges pursuant to a state operating permit,
1 The permittee is authorized to discharge the non-stormwater sources provided the permitting
authority has not determined these sources to be substantial contributors of pollutants to the
permittee’s MS4 that required a separate permit. These include landscape irrigation and lawn
watering; rising groundwater; uncontaminated groundwater infiltration (infiltration is defined as water
other than wastewater that enters a sewer system, including sewer service connections and
foundation drains, from the ground through such means as defective pipes, pipe joints, connections,
or manholes. Infiltration does not include, and is distinguished from, inflow); uncontaminated
pumped groundwater; discharges from potable water sources; foundation or footing drains; air
conditioning condensate; springs; uncontaminated water from crawl space pumps; flows from
riparian habitat and wetlands; street wash water; discharges or flows from emergency fire-fighting
activities; individual residential car washing; and dechlorinated residential swimming pool discharges.
20
other than stormwater discharge permits and discharges from firefighting activities.2
An illicit discharge or connection may result from:
Illegal dumping practice (i.e., improper disposal of waste).
A direct connection from the sanitary sewer to the storm sewer.
Indirect connection from improper surface discharges to the storm sewer
(i.e., hosing down outdoor areas on a parking lot or other impervious
surface.
Stormwater System C.
The stormwater system within the MSD service area consists of man-made
facilities, structures, and natural watercourses used for collecting and conducting
stormwater to, through and from drainage areas to the points of final outlet
including, but not limited to, any and all of the following: sewers, pipes, inlets,
conduits and appurtenant features, canals, creeks, channels, catch basins, ditches,
streams, rivers, gulches, gullies, flumes, culverts, siphons, retention or detention
basins, dams, floodwalls, levees, and pumping stations.3 MSD maps the entire
stormwater system using a geographic information system (GIS).
Enforcement D.
MSD utilizes provisions in its sewer use ordinances to prohibit illicit discharges into
the stormwater system. MSD Ordinance No. 15048 adopted November 8, 2018, is
used as the legal enforcement tool to control such discharges.
BMP Development E.
Specific illicit discharge detection and elimination best management practices are

Minimum Control Measure Number 4, Construction Site
Stormwater Runoff Control (MCM4)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.4.1 of the 2016 Permit requires the permittee to develop, implement and
enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to their regulated
Small MS4 from construction activities that result in land disturbance of greater than
or equal to one acre. Reduction of stormwater discharges from construction activity
disturbing less than one acre shall be included in the program if that construction
activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would disturb
one acre or more. As part of the SWMP, the permittee’s construction site
stormwater runoff control program shall include the development and
implementation of, at a minimum:
4.2.4.1.1 An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require
operators to implement erosion and sediment control BMPs at
construction sites; to include sanctions designed to ensure
compliance, to the extent allowable under state or local law;
and
4.2.4.1.1.1 If the permittee needs to develop this mechanism, the
permittee shall describe the plan and scheduled
implementation. If the permittee’s ordinance or regulatory
mechanism is already developed, the permittee shall include a
copy of the relevant sections with the permittee’s SWMP.
4.2.4.1.2 Requirements for construction site operators to control
construction-site waste that may cause adverse impacts to
water quality, such as discarded building materials, concrete
truck washout, chemicals, litter and sanitary waste;
4.2.4.1.3 Procedures for the permittee to consider and review all pre-
construction site plans for potential water quality impacts;
4.2.4.1.4 Procedures for the permittee receive and consider information
submitted by the public, including coordination with the
permittee’s public education and involvement programs;
4.2.4.1.5 Procedures for the permittee to inspect sites and enforce
control measures, including prioritization of site inspection; and
4.2.4.1.5.1 The permittee shall inspect (or require inspection of) any
structure that functions to prevent pollution of stormwater or to
remove pollutants from stormwater and ensure that all BMPs
24
are implemented and effective; and a monitoring plan with
implementation schedules shall be referenced in the SWMP
document.
4.2.4.1.6 A plan designed to ensure compliance with the permittee’s
erosion and sediment control regulatory mechanism, including
the sanctions and enforcement mechanisms the permittee will
use to ensure compliance and procedures for when certain
sanctions will be used. Possible sanctions include non-
monetary penalties (such as stop work orders), fines, bonding
requirements, and/or permit denials for non-compliance.
Applicability B.
Within the Plan Area, construction and land disturbance activities are performed by
private entities, as well as by MSD, St. Louis County, and many of the municipal co-
permittees. Land disturbance activities conducted by the co-permittees are handled
in-house or with the use of a contractor.
As a result of the first Phase II permit, each Plan Area co-permittee has amended
its existing construction and land disturbance program or developed a new program
(Appendix C), which includes adoption of appropriate Phase II compliant policies,
procedures, and ordinances to reduce pollutants from construction activities that
result in a land disturbance of equal to or greater than 1 acre in size. Activities
conducted by private entities are subject to the land disturbance permitting
requirements of the co-permittee, depending upon the governmental jurisdiction
within which the site is located. In addition to any local approvals, every
construction site operator must also obtain a separate MDNR permit for any land
disturbance activities affecting an area of one acre or more. Regardless of the
status of local approvals, land disturbance activities on such sites may not
commence prior to the issuance of a state land disturbance permit.
Municipality Implementation Options C.
Each incorporated municipality has the authority and responsibility to perform
construction permitting and inspection services as a basic element of the police
powers afforded municipal governments in Missouri. Each has implemented a
Phase II compliance land disturbance program to regulate construction within their
jurisdiction.
Some municipalities provide full permitting and inspection services with their own
resources. These municipalities have implemented the project reviews, permitting,
25
inspection, complaint response, and other activities needed to implement the
permit’s land disturbance program.
A second option many municipalities have taken is to adopt St. Louis County’s
ordinance and contract with St. Louis County for Code Enforcement. The County
contracts for permitting (including plan review and construction authorization
documents) and code enforcement, including periodic and critical event inspections.
The County contract requires the construction site operator to gain zoning approval
from the municipality for a project before a county permit is issued. In addition, the
municipality issues its final occupancy permits only after the Department of Public
Works has completed all construction inspections. In all cases the ordinance
authority and any penalties for non-compliance are the responsibility and authority
of the individual municipal governments.

Minimum Control Measure Number 5, Post-Construction
Stormwater Management in New Development and
Redevelopment (MCM5)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.5.1 of the 2016 Permit requires the permittee to develop, implement and
enforce a program to address the quality of long-term stormwater runoff from new
development and redevelopment projects that disturb equal to and greater than one
acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of
development or sale, that discharge into the permittee’s regulated Small MS4. The
permittee’s program shall ensure that controls are in place that have been designed
and implemented to prevent or minimize water quality impacts. As part of the
SWMP document, the post-construction runoff control program shall include the
following information, at a minimum:
4.2.5.1.1 An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post-
construction runoff from new development and redevelopment
projects to the extent allowable under state or local law. If the
permittee needs to develop a mechanism, the permittee shall
describe the plan and a schedule for implementation. If the
permittee’s ordinance or regulatory mechanism is already
developed, the permittee shall include a copy of the relevant
sections with the SWMP document;
4.2.5.1.2 A plan to ensure adequate long-term operation and
maintenance of selected BMPs, including, as appropriate, types
of agreements between the permittee and other parties such as
post-development landowners or regional authorities;
4.2.5.1.3 Strategies to minimize water quality impacts, which include a
combination of structural and/or non-structural BMPs
appropriate for the permittee’s community, including but not
limited to the assessment of site characteristics at the
beginning of the construction site design phase to ensure
adequate planning for stormwater program compliance. The
goal of this approach is to arrive at designs that protect
sensitive areas, minimize the creation of stormwater pollution,
and utilize BMPs that effectively remove stormwater pollution.
This can be achieved by reasonably mimicking pre-
construction runoff conditions on all affected new development
29
projects, or the permittee may achieve this goal through a
method more appropriate for its community;
4.2.5.1.4 An inspection plan with implementation schedules for post-
construction BMPs;
4.2.5.1.5 The permittee shall inspect or require the inspection of post-
construction stormwater BMPs to ensure that all BMPs are
implemented and effective.
BMP Development B.
Both structural and non-structural BMPs have a role in effectively addressing
stream impairment and water quality. A milestone activity of the SWMP will be to
continue implementing Plan Area wide requirements for stormwater facilities on
development projects over 1 acre. MSD requires all stormwater facilities to be
provided and designed in accordance with provisions contained in the “Rules and
Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewer and
Stormwater Drainage Facilities,” as amended. These Rules and Regulations
include requirements for BMPs for stormwater control and watershed protection to
be incorporated into the project design. These rules and regulations are
implemented under the authority of MSD Ordinance 9030, and the Rules and
Regulations implementing the Phase II BMPs were adopted by the MSD Board of
Trustees in Resolution 2630. The Rules and Regulations include stormwater design
criteria for:
Water quality treatment of the project disturbed area, or equivalent, using the
90th percentile daily rainfall depth or continuous simulation modeling
indicating 90% of all annual rainfall is treated by the BMP.
Reducing runoff volume to pre-construction levels on new development sites.
New development sites include those with less than 20% impervious area
and/or where prior land use activities have not impaired the site and
utilization of natural processes like infiltration are still possible. A BMP’s
ability to adequately reduce runoff is assessed based on average annual
rainfall or continuous simulation modeling over a typical year. Runoff is
defined as water discharged to the MS4 by overflow (bypass) and/or by
underdrain piping (e.g., treated water that does not infiltrate).
Extended detention storage and release of the 1-year 24-hour storm to
reduce channel erosion, as appropriate for the site.
30
MSD applies these water quality design criteria on projects within the Plan Area that
discharge to waters of the state or drainage areas tributary to a stormwater outlet.
MSD applies the water quality design criteria on projects within the flood control
levee MSDs. Projects located within flood control levee MSDs may utilize regional
water quality plans approved by MSD. These regional plans may adopt a modified
3-pronged approach: at the source, in master channels, and in flood storage basin
structures, as reviewed and responded to by MDNR in a letter dated May 10, 2011.
To be considered an effective BMP for stand-alone treatment of the water quality
volume, the BMP shall demonstrate a minimum removal efficiency of 80% total
suspend solids and have an acceptable longevity rate in the field (i.e., be
maintainable). MSD maintains an online BMP Toolbox on its website for developers
and engineers who submit post-construction BMP plans to MSD and co-permittees.
The Toolbox helps navigate a user through the technical and procedural paths to
post-construction stormwater BMPs design, installation and maintenance.
MSD, St. Louis County, and the Plan Area municipalities will continue to approve
development plans only after ensuring the development meets all applicable
requirements. St. Louis County and municipalities enforce ordinances related to
land use BMPs in their planning and zoning function. St. Louis County and each
municipality has implemented procedures to ensure that all applicable private and
public development projects involving stormwater management are reviewed and
approved by MSD. MSD enforces sewer and drainage design requirements
mandating structural and non-structural post-construction BMPs. MSD will continue
to issue permits for and inspect the construction of all structural BMPs.
An executed maintenance agreement is required with all projects where BMPs are
required to comply with the permit, and where MSD is not performing BMP
maintenance. All structural BMPs located on private property (i.e., all parcels that
are assigned a locator identification number by the St. Louis County assessor’s
office) will be maintained by the property owner(s), and MSD will enforce the
maintenance through a Maintenance Agreement that is recorded with the property
deed. MSD will also require a maintenance agreement be executed for BMPs
located within right-of-way and for which MSD is not performing routine
maintenance, although these agreements cannot be recorded with the right-of-way
property.
31
MSD maintains responsibility under the Plan to ensure BMPs are maintained and
MSD will continue to inspect BMPs to ensure adequate operation. MSD has
enforcement authority to ensure owners maintain their post construction BMPs in
MSD Ordinance 15048, Article IV, Part C. MSD BMP inspections will be conducted
at a minimum of once every three years for each BMP, or an alternate frequency
deemed appropriate for the BMP type, and MSD will continue enforcement
compliance using MSD Ordinance 15048.
Specific best management practices for post-construction stormwater management
in new development and redevelopment are presented Table 7.

Minimum Control Measure Number 6, Pollution Prevention
Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations (MCM6)
Permit Requirements A.
Section 4.2.6.1 of the small MS4 general permit requires the permittee to develop
and implement an operation and maintenance program that includes a training
component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from
municipal operations. As part of the SWMP, the pollution prevention/good
housekeeping program shall include the following information, at a minimum:
4.2.6.1.1 A government employee training program to prevent and
reduce stormwater pollution from activities such as park and
open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new
construction and land disturbances, and stormwater system
maintenance. The permittee shall describe any existing,
available material the permittee plans to use such as those
available from EPA, the state, or other organizations. The
permittee shall describe how this plan will coordinate with all
other minimum control measures, monitoring and TMDL
implementations where applicable;
4.2.6.1.2 A list of all municipal operations that are impacted by this
operation and maintenance program. The permittee shall also
include a list of industrial facilities that the permittee owns or
operates that are subject to NDPES permits for discharges of
stormwater associated with industrial activity that ultimately
discharge to the permittee’s MS4. The permittee shall include
the permit number or a copy of the No Exposure Exemption
Certification (if applicable) for each facility. NPDES permitted
facilities not owned or operated by the permittee are not
required to be part of the list;
4.2.6.1.3 Maintenance BMPs, maintenance schedules, and long-term
inspection procedures for controls to reduce floatable and other
pollutants to the permittee’s regulated Small MS4;
4.2.6.1.4 Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants
from street, roads, highways, municipal parking lots,
maintenance and storage yards, waste transfer station, fleet or
maintenance shops with outdoor storage areas, and salt/sand
35
storage locations and snow disposal areas the permittee
operates;
4.2.6.1.5 Procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from the
permittee’s Small MS4 and areas of jurisdiction, including
dredged material, accumulated sediments, floatables and other
debris;
4.2.6.1.6 Procedures to assess impacts of water quality for new flood
management projects, if applicable. Flood management
projects are those projects developed or designed to reduce
flooding.
4.2.6.2 All paints, solvents, petroleum products and petroleum waste
products (except fuels) under the control of the permittee shall
be stored so that these materials are not exposed to
stormwater. Sufficient practices of spill prevention, control,
and/or management shall be provided to prevent any spill of
these pollutants from entering waters of the state. Any
containment system used to implement this requirement shall
be constructed of materials compatible with the substances
contained and shall also prevent the contamination of
groundwater.
BMP Development B.
The scope of municipal operations varies widely among the 61 entities involved in
this SWMP. Municipal operations range from very small municipalities, having no
municipal facilities other than a few blocks of local streets, to the county
government, having responsibility for regional highways, parks, high rise municipal
buildings, major construction activities, fleet maintenance operations, airport and all
the other various operations of a major county government. Because of this broad
variation in activities, selection of appropriate BMPs to satisfy the permit
requirements will vary considerably among the co-permittees. Training programs
will be similarly varied. Each co-permittee identified and listed their operations that
are impacted by the MS4 permit requirements referenced in Section A above and
have supplied the required information as part of their MS4 permit application.
Implementation of an Operation and Maintenance Program using a program model
is required by each co-permittee.
36
The program model is based on the following common municipal operations:
General Housekeeping and Operation and Maintenance
Vehicle/Equipment Repair and Maintenance Operations
Vehicle/Equipment Washing
Facility Repair, Remodeling and Construction
Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, Highways, Bridges, and Parking
Facilities
Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails, and Landscaping
Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm Sewers, and Inlet
Structures.
Operation and Maintenance of Recycling Facilities
Water Quality Impact Assessment of Flood Management Projects
Specific BMPs for pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations
best management practices are presented in Table 8.
