Note From The Authors
This document is a Operation and Maintenance Program developed to meet the
requirements in the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Storm Water Permit, Section 4.2.6. All
co-permittees are required to implement an Operation and Maintenance Program to comply
with their permit. The St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan calls for co-
permittees to adopt the program by the end of permit year three, March 9, 2006, and fully
implement it by the end of permit year four, March 9, 2007. Under the permit, MSD, as
coordinating authority, must annually report the status of each co-permittees' compliance with
the milestones in the Plan.
This program was developed to assist co-permittees in complying with the permit Section
4.2.6, and to help foster uniform approaches to implementing the Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) Program. Each co-permittee must include in their program the applicable elements
from the model program, based on the extent of their infrastructure, municipal facilities and
services. In drafting the program, the authors made an effort to be as comprehensive as
possible in addressing municipal operations by including generic example text for a variety of
municipal operations. However, a co-permittee may add measures as it deems appropriate
to meet its specific needs. Co-permittees are expected to edit the text in this model program
to specifically apply it to their organization by including details, commitments, and policies
specific to their organization. To assist in this editing process, this document contains
instructions to the co-permittee editors in A SMALL CAPITAL, ITALICIZED FONT LIKE THIS. THESE
INSTRUCTIONS must be addressed in the document and removed from the text before finalizing
your city's plan. For additional information on the Best Management Practices (BMPs),
please contact members of the Work Group, in Appendix 1-A3, or refer to EPA Fact Sheets
on the web at: http://cfpub.epa.qov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/poll.cfm.

Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Storm Water Permit
MO-R040005 to the City of Ballwin and 60 other co-permittees in St. Louis County, effective
March 10, 2003. The area served by the 61 co-permittees is collectively known as the St.
Louis Metropolitan Small MS4. One of the minimum control measures in the permit that must
be addressed by the co-permittees includes pollution prevention and good housekeeping for
municipal operations. Specifically, section 4.2.6.1.1 of the permit (Appendix 1-A2) requires
each co-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."
A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 was
developed by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee in the
Fall of 2002 and submitted to MDNR as part of the application for the Phase II permit. As a
co-permittee under the state permit the City of Ballwin is bound by the commitments contained
in the Plan. Chapter 14 of that Plan provided for organization of a municipal work group to
develop a model operation and maintenance program to be adopted by each of the 61 co-
permittees.
This document represents the City of Ballwin adoption of the work group's model program as
applicable and tailored to specifically meet City of Ballwin needs and goals. This program
impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Ballwin intent to adhere to the
policies and procedures stated herein in order to prevent pollution, to safeguard the
environment for the health and benefit of all (city) employees, residents and visitors and to
serve as a model for the entire regulated area. Where the municipal operations described in
this manual are contracted, rather than performed by municipal employees, the best
management practices (BMPs) will be imposed to the maximum extent practicable on the
contractor through purchasing or contract mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of
work or job/service specifications. Contractors will be required to obtain all applicable
local/state/federal environmental permits. This program has been adopted by Ordinance #06-
18 on March 13, 2006, (See appendix 1-A4).
B. Policies:
The City of Ballwin has adopted several policies regarding the utilization of integrated pest
management practices; and other pollution prevention policies. Copies of policies are
contained in Appendix 1-B1 .

C. Organization of Manual:
The SWMP prepared for St. Louis County by the Planning Committee contains a detailed
listing of BMP elements that were to be considered when developing a model operation and
maintenance program for the 61 co-permittees. The Planning Committee placed these
elements into nine major categories of municipal operations/activities. Based on its size and
the nature of its municipal services each co-permittee may have activities in only some or in
all nine categories. For consistency within the Plan area, each of the nine categories is
addressed in the following Chapters 2 through 9. A statement of non-applicability is contained
in those chapters where the City of Ballwin is not engaged in the subject activity.
D. Administration:
The responsible party for administration of the operation and maintenance (O&M) program is
the Director of Public Works. This person is responsible for ensuring the program is kept up
to date, and that employees are trained on the procedures implementing the program.
The City of Ballwin will encourage draining all staff associated with activities that can impact
pollution in storm water runoff. Each chapter will identify employees who should be subject to
training on that particular chapter. Employees will receive general storm water pollution
prevention training provided by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Environmental
Assistance Office or others. Upon implementation of specific procedures, management will
review the new procedures that incorporate storm water BMPs, proper waste management
and
applicable NPDES permit requirements with all employees affected. New employees will be
trained on applicable procedures. Contractors working for the municipality and implementing
BMPs for municipal work, as described in Section A., must train their employees on applicable
BMPs before work begins.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITIES
• Pool drainage and filter backwash water from chlorinated swimming pools, fountains
and lined ponds must be discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Other chlorinated
water from water line or tank disinfection must also be directed to the sanitary sewer.
• Any discharge to surface water of pool or backwash water from pools and ponds must
be dechlorinated prior to discharging into storm sewer system under the conditions of
an NPDES permit obtained by the facility. The NPDES permit requires ceasing
chlorination 7 days prior to discharge or using chemical dechlorination. These
discharges to surface water must be approved under local building code, and not
create a nuisance to adjoining property.
• Avoid using copper or silver-containing algaecides in pools, fountains and ponds.
• Ensure grease traps and oil/water separators in kitchens and food service areas are
maintained. Avoid sanitary sewer grease-blockage by regularly pumping out traps and
separators.
• Maintain site plumbing plans showing sanitary and storm sewer connections. Ensure
wastewater is discharged only to the sanitary sewer, and storm water to the storm
sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for storm water drainage.
• Minimize the use of pesticides through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program.
An IPM Program uses monitoring of pest populations compared to an action threshold,
and then choosing the proper tactics, using nonchemical pest control practices, such as
16
mechanical and biological controls, when possible, or less toxic products when needed.
IPM does not rely on routine applications of pesticide based on a calendar date.
Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding
grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping
storm water drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
http://ipm.missouri.edu/ipmresources.htm (See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
• Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated Pest Management Program for
weed control. With turf grass, prevention of weed infestation begins with practices to
promote healthy grass through proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing,
aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU Extension Publication IPM1009:
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/pests/ipm1009.htm (See Chapter 7 for
additional BMPs.)
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent reasonable, wastes generated by municipal
operations.
• Provide for the proper disposal of all wastes generated or collected in the course of
municipal operations, in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws.
• Inspect facilities for litter on a regular basis, and clean up as needed.
• Keep trash container lids closed to keep rain out. Do not dispose of liquid waste in the
trash container.
• Ensure that the collection frequency of trash containers is appropriate to avoid
overflows.
• Outdoor material stockpiles at both permanent locations and at job sites should be
covered to protect from rainfall and prevent contamination of storm water runoff.
• Material stockpiles which can not feasibly be covered should be surrounded by a berm
or otherwise contained so that storm water runoff can be captured.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be properly labeled to ensure appropriate handling and disposal.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of
storm water from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover
storage containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain plugs
to contain spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if outdoors,
containers should be kept clean and sealed water-tight.
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and select areas that are away from storm drain inlets
and streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept clean and
organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure employees are familiar with spill
response procedures and the location of spill kits to enable them to stop the spills at
the source and contain the spilled material. With training on hazards from a material
safety data sheet, minor spills can be addressed by employees, however, significant
spills will require evacuation and contacting emergency responders.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities. proper handling. and health and safety issues.
17
• Maintain and post a list of emergency contact numbers for spill reporting and spill
clean-up contractor response, including: Missouri Department of Natural Resources
(MDNR) — 573-634-2436, National Response Center — 800-424-8802, and for releases
to the sewer, MSD — 314-768-6260. Reportable quantities (RQ) for chemicals are
listed on the MSDS, and petroleum RQs include: any amount released to a storm
sewer or waterway causing a sheen, 25 gallons from an underground tank, and 50
gallons from all other sources.
• Prepare for appropriately handling the clean up of the spilled material and disposal of
waste. Do not hose down spills to the storm sewer system. Clean up spills with
dry methods, using absorbent to pickup fluids.
• Spill response plans are recommended for all areas of municipal operations subject to
spill occurrence. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans are
required to meet regulatory criteria in 40 CFR 112 for sites with a storage capacity over
660 gallons oil in one container or 1,320 gallons on site.
• Establish at all municipal facilities materials management and inventory controls to
include the proper identification of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, and
proper labeling of all containers.
• Regular inspections and inventory of material storage and use areas should be
performed to ensure BMPs are being used.
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard waste
disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties.
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and equestrian and
animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and other animals.
• Provide signage in parks and other public areas frequented by pet walkers to promote
the proper disposal of pet waste and notify the public of ordinance requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately-sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and disposal.
• Educate citizens on trash and pet waste issues to promote compliance with ordinances
using available methods such as resident newsletters, brochures, internet sites, storm
drain marking projects, etc.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances against illegal discharges to storm water from
sources such as failing septic tanks, septic tanks discharging to storm water, etc.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances requiring the proper maintenance of septic tanks
and other small onsite sewage disposal systems.
O&M PROGRAM
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules
and long term inspection procedures in accordance with this program manual.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed.
• Develop record keeping procedures that effectively track implementation of program
elements and that provide the information necessary to meet the reporting
requirements of the MS4 permit.

Chapter 3 - Vehicle/Equipment Repair and Maintenance Operations
A. Description of Activities:
Fleet maintenance facilities are responsible for the maintenance and repair of equipment and
vehicles ranging from chain saws and light vehicles to loaders and dump trucks. Preventative
19
maintenance or PM's include oil and filter changes, tune ups and tire rotations. Repairs
include engine and transmission replacement; brake, suspension or axle repair; and welding
work. There is one fueling site located at the Public Works Center. Outside contractors
perform services such as glass repair or replacement and all bodywork.
B. Locations:
The main garage located at 200 Park Drive serves the City's fleet. It is responsible for
approximately 171 pieces of equipment. This location has one welding area and five
work bays. One of the work bays has an above ground lift. The materials/ supplies
used at this facility are all stored inside.
The bulk oils and fluids that are used are stored inside in 55-gallon drums in a designated
area. All bottled oils and spray chemicals are stored inside in the parts room.
The majority of repair and maintenance work is done inside however, due to the difficulty in
moving certain pieces of equipment, some work is done at the job site. The above locations
perform vehicle and equipment maintenance for all Ballwin departments.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Public Works oversees all aspects of fleet administration and operations. The
main garage has four full time employees (3 mechanics and 1 fabricator).
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
• Institute a preventive maintenance program to minimize fluid leaks and equipment
failures. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for leaks, collecting leaks with pans
or absorbent, and repairing leaks.
• All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at Ballwin facilities are performed indoors.
On occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance work will be performed in a
paved area with provisions made to contain and clean up all drips and spills.
• Use non-hazardous, environmentally safe products when possible. Avoid use of
chlorinated organic solvents.
• Environmentally safe detergents are used instead of caustic cleaning solutions.
• Flammable liquids are kept in a vented fire-rated cabinet.
• All supply material and waste containers are marked clearly and properly to identify the
contents.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling and health and safety.
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent contact with
rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and are free of standing liquid, and stored
containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other liquid wastes are collected in designated,
labeled containers and recycled to the maximum extent practicable.
• Wheel weights are kept in a container marked "scrap lead".
• Records of waste pick-ups are logged and maintained in file.
• Drain pans are labeled for specific types of fluid. Use pans under vehicles and
equipment with fluid leaks. Always use drip pans when making and breaking
connections.
• Used oil filters should be gravity drained for 24 hrs with the anti-drain back valve or
filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process.
• Batteries, waste oil, etc. having spill/leak potential are stored indoors and are in
secondary containment, when possible.
• Neutralizer and absorbent are kept by both new and used batteries.
• All floors are clean of oil and grease.
• Immediately clean up all spills of chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods
(absorbents), minimizing the use of water whenever possible.
• Vehicle operators should be instructed to remain with the vehicle during fueling, and
not to top-off the fuel tank to avoid overflows and spills.
• For painting or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp enclosure to contain and capture
material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sand blast waste in the trash for non-
lead based paint, or evaluate lead based paint for hazardous waste disposal.
• Keep the facility and surrounding area clear of litter.
SPILL PREVENTION
• Spill control plans should be in place with procedures for proper spill response to
minimize environmental impacts. SPCC plans must meet regulatory criteria in 40 CFR
112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one container or 1 ,320
gallons on site.
• Procedures for loading, unloading and transfer operations should be developed to
prevent overfilling and spills.
• In areas where spills could occur, such as fueling and loading areas, keep spill kits with
absorbent materials nearby and display signage indicating the location of those spill
kits. Storm drain plugs or covers are recommended to prevent the flow of spilled
material from entering the storm drain.
• For fueling areas, post signs that state "no topping off".
• Regularly inspect all tanks and containers to ensure physical integrity.
• Maintain equipment to ensure the proper operation of automatic shutoff devices on
pumps and, overfill protection and spill buckets on tanks.
• Emergency phone numbers are clearly posted in the shop and near material storage
areas.
FACILITY
• All floors in work areas are sloped to floor drains that are connected to an MSD-
approved sediment /oil trap prior to discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Trap is
pumped out quarterly, or as needed.
• A site-plumbing schematic showing all drains, traps, and shut offs for utilities should be
posted in shop. Employees should be made aware of sanitary and storm sewers to
ensure all wastewater is discharged to the sanitary sewer.
• Storm drains/inlets can be labeled to help protect from improper usage.
• All above ground storage tanks have secondary containment in accordance with SPCC
requirements and are covered with a roof. If containment is not roofed, inspect
accumulated rain water for contamination prior to discharge.
• Fueling areas are recommended to be designed with a roof to prevent contact with
storm water. The area should be graded and sloped to direct storm water runoff away
from the site and to prevent runoff from flowing over the fueling area.
• Storm water treatment devices can be used to treat runoff from fueling areas.
• "No smoking" signs are posted in the shop, and near hazardous waste and flammable
material storage areas. Verify that fire extinguishers are charged and inspected yearly.
G. NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit status:
As stated above, all of Ballwin vehicle repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors or are
otherwise done without exposure to storm water. Therefore, a NPDES Storm Water permit is
not required and a no-exposure certification has been filed with the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources.
H. Training:
Training on storm water BMPs will be provided to mechanics, material handlers, laborers,
equipment operators, janitors, and management staff working at facilities identified in Section
B. All employees will be provided safety training and training on written procedures pertaining
to general housekeeping.
Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
Ballwin will wash vehicles and equipment at wash bay facility designed according to this
chapter. At Ballwin facilities where no wash bay exists, all vehicles and equipment will be
taken to commercial facilities when washing is required.
B. Locations:
The Ballwin wash bay facilities are located at the Public Works Center 200 Park Drive.
24
C. Responsible Parties:
Each Department is responsible for ensuring that vehicles are taken off-site to approved
commercial facilities for washing, or that washing on Ballwin property is done in the locations
specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is (PRODUCT NAME OR SPECIFICATION- NON-PHOSPHATE,
BIODEGRADEABLE DETERGENT).
E. Wash bay design and waste disposal:
Wash water from vehicle and equipment washing must be disposed in the MSD sanitary
sewer, with pretreatment using a sediment/oil trap. The accumulated solids in the
sediment/oil trap must be pumped out and properly disposed of, such as at a wastewater
treatment plant by an MSD approved waste hauler. If floating oils and grease accumulate in
the sediment/oil trap, the contents must be disposed by a permitted waste hauler at a
commercial facility able to handle oily waste.
F. Best Management Practices (BMPs):
(FOR OFF-SITE WASHING)
• Select vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when washing is needed.
(FOR MUNICIPAL WASHING)
• Wash bay facilities are designed to collect wash water, pretreat with a sediment/oil trap
(interceptor), and discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The trap must be pumped
quarterly, or as needed.
• Wash bays are covered and wash area curbed or otherwise drained to prevent storm
water runoff from discharging to the sanitary system. Uncovered wash bays have an inlet
valve to the sanitary sewer. The wash bay is cleaned and the valve is maintained closed
when washing is not occurring, to keep uncontaminated storm water out of the sanitary
sewer. Post instructions regarding the use of the valve.
• Job-site mud removal is performed without detergent in a contained, permeable (gravel)
area with wash water infiltrating into soil or gravel.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable.
H. Training:
Employees responsible for operating fleet vehicles and equipment will be made aware of
BMPs regarding washing, and the proper, designated locations for washing.
Chapter 5 - Facility Repair, Remodeling and Construction
A. Description of Activities:
On an as-needed basis, city personnel perform minor renovations/repairs and small capital
improvements on city facilities, such as erecting or removing partitions, replacing a door or
window, painting, etc. Major projects are typically contracted out to commercial firms
specializing in the type of work required.
B. Locations:
Building Systems Maintenance Division located within the Public Works Center contain a shop
and material storage areas for facility repair, remodeling and construction; and city employees
are involved in these activities. Repair, remodeling, construction and capital improvements
are periodically performed on all types of municipal facilities.
C. Responsible Parties:
Facilities Manager — The Facilities Manager or Facilities Supervisor is the responsible party
that will ensure all repairs, remodeling and construction will be preformed without subjecting
the storm water system to any new contaminant streams. They are responsible for the
construction practices of the contractors that work for them on municipal facilities.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Varies with nature of job. Materials are purchased on an as-needed basis and in quantities
expected to be completely consumed in the process of completing the project. Materials
used for every project will vary. The majority of materials are purchased on a project basis
and are consumed during that project whenever possible. Materials should be stored indoors
or under cover so they are protected from rainfall and runoff. All unused portions of materials
should be properly secured to prevent loss. such as bagged cement. When necessary tarps
should be used on the ground to collect fallen debris and other spilled material. Waste should
be cleaned up on a daily basis and properly disposed of as noted below in section "E".
Routinely stocked materials are identified in the following table.
Material Maximum Quantity Kept Onsite Storage Location
Lumber 50 Linear Feet Yard
Dirt 15 Tons Yard
•
Rock 65 Tons Yard
Oil-Based Paint 2 Gallons Flammable Cabinet
Latex Paint 20 Gallons Warehouse
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically. wastes consist of small amounts
of lumber cut-offs. wallboard scraps, empty paint cans. etc. Order and mix only the amount of
26
materials necessary for the work to be completed. Dispose of all waste properly, recycle
whenever possible. Never bury waste material or leave material in the street, gutter, or near
a creek or streambed that would allow the material to enter the storm water system. Such
materials are disposed in the Public Work's dumpster for pick-up by the city contracted waste
hauler. Listed below are the disposal methods for various types of materials that are
generated from facility repairs and remodeling:

Leaks, drips, or spills should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up using "dry" methods,
absorbent materials or rags, or remove the contaminated soil or material.
Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. Never clean up concrete
equipment or paint brushes and allow the washout into the street, storm drains, drainage
ditches, or streams.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITY DESIGN
• Consider designing facilities for "Low Impact Development" to reduce the volume and rate
of storm water runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer to information
on Low Impact Development from EPA's web site at:
27
http://www.epa.gov/owowwtrl/NPS/lid/lidlit.html for more information about Low Impact
Development methods.
• In designing storm water drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, in accordance with
MSD's storm water drainage facility design regulations, to improve the water quality of site
drainage: wet detention ponds, wetlands, structural filter systems, grass swales, vegetative
filter strips, and riparian buffers along streams. MSD's design regulations are contained in
the "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage
and Stormwater Drainage Facilities". Fact sheets on storm water management practices
are available from the Storm Water Manager's Resource Center at the following web site:
http://www.stormwatercenter.net
• Carefully design and install plumbing and storm water systems to code, eliminating cross-
connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and storm water runoff contacting
stored material.
• Design landscaping that minimizes the need for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with the City's land disturbance ordinances and programs. For projects less than
the land disturbance program thresholds, prevent erosion of soil from bare ground at the
site by employing erosion and sediment control BMPs, such as: soil stabilization with
mulch or seeding, settling basins, sediment traps, vegetated buffer strips, and silt fencing
for perimeter controls. For details concerning these BMPs, see the SWPPP link on the
following web page: www.stlouisco.com/plan/land disturbance.html
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. Waters of the United States include ditches, creeks,
rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit
requirements.
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and cover
stored materials to avoid storm water impacts.
• Recycle or properly dispose of wastes, as indicated in Section E above.
• Never clean out or wash out paint or concrete mixers in the street or near a gutter, storm
drain or stream.
• Small quantities of inert demolition wastes and construction scraps are disposed in the
Public Work's dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a
city-contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pickup trash that can be wind blown daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fire-proof barriers and
doors, roofing material and insulating materials for asbestos content prior to demolition.
Manage material using certified asbestos personnel.
• Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.
• When scraping or washing to remove non-lead based paint. collect paint chips in a tarp for
proper disposal. Use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint whenever possible.
• Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the sanitary
sewer, and that storm water is sent to the storm sewer system.
28
G. NPDES Permit status:
Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a Land Disturbance Permit MO-R100A (if
regulated under a Phase II compliant land disturbance program) or Permit MO-R101 from the
MDNR. Land disturbance projects over 10,000 square feet requires a City Grading Permit.
Storm water operating permits will not apply unless process water will be discharged to storm
water and not to the sanitary sewers.
H. Training:
All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities should
be trained on the BMPs presented in this chapter. Personnel should be trained in the items
noted below:
General housekeeping
Material storage, cleanup, and disposal
Material reuse and recycling
Equipment cleanup
Land disturbance erosion control
Reduction of material for disposal through storage, reuse, or recycling can greatly reduce
material and disposal costs, long term liability, preserve environmental quality, improve
workplace safety and provide a positive public image.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, Highways, Bridges
and Parking Facilities
A. Description of Activities:
The City is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of roadways, highways, and parking
facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities include, but may not be limited to, street
sweeping, flushing, applying surface seals, patching, snow removal, and emergency response
to spills and accidents.
Street sweeping operations normally involve self-contained and powered collection devices,
utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work may be performed on a scheduled
basis, or when requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs where debris can
accumulate in the gutter line.
Flushing operations are performed on sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates
after flooding, creating hazardous conditions.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or cold
patching material.
The City plows and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction during winter snow
events. Typically, 200 to 400 pounds of salt per lane mile is used to de-ice the pavement.
Other chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when prevailing temperatures fall below
20° Fahrenheit.
Hydrodynamic separator unit to be maintained by the owner of 14807 Manchester Road in
accordance with a permanent easement signed on May 2, 2012. Maintenance shall conform
to the requirements of Appendix 6-Al .
The City may be requested to respond to emergency situations involving spills and debris
from vehicles. This work is performed if it is determined that the material which will be
removed from the public road right-of-way is of a non-hazardous nature. Hazardous material
is handled through hazardous material removal procedures not specified in this chapter.
B. Locations:
All road networks or public parking facilities located within the boundaries of the City of
Ballwin.
Ballwin Public Works repairs and sweeps city maintained streets and applies de-icing roadway
salt and calcium chloride to the pavement surface for vehicular safety. Traffic control devices
such as striping, signage, and signal maintenance are also the responsibility of the Public
Works Department.
Hydrodynamic separator unit is located at the northeast corner of the Ballwin Government
Center, 14811 Manchester Road.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
MAINTENANCE
• If certain road maintenance activities are prone to produce pollutants that can be
carried off with storm water runoff, schedule these maintenance activities during times
of dry weather if possible.
• Capture scrapings/rust/dirt/sandblasting grit/over spray/drips, etc., from preparation and
painting of bridges/structures/traffic control devices.
• Used asphalt is recycled when it is cost-beneficial.
• On asphalt overlays, ensure storm water drainage capacity of curbs and inlets is
maintained by milling down into the street at the curb, or using open graded thin
bonded overlay.
• Comply with City of Ballwin land disturbance ordinances and programs. For projects
less than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion and
sediment control.
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or
fill material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches, creeks, rivers,
lakes, ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR 401
water quality certification. Examples of construction or repair activities requiring a
permit include: bridge work, culverts under road crossings, dredging or placing rip rap
in creeks. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
DE-ICING
• Use calibrated chemical applicators for salt and brine applications.
• Minimize the use of salt without compromising public safety.
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs, where equipped.
• Salt is stored on an impervious surface and is covered.
32
• As available, use road weather information such as weather forecasts, meteorological
data, and pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of resources.
CLEANING
• Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming, etc.)
prior to roadway flushing on bridges.
• Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking lots
and roadways within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible, focusing
on heavy traffic patterns, seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem areas. Record
the volume of trash/debris removed to identify the priority of areas being cleaned and
the effectiveness of resources used. Investigate to determine sources of litter in areas
of excessive accumulation.
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device
and fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E
above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm
drain untreated.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not Applicable
H. Training:
Employees involved in Street and Highway maintenance and repair will be trained on the
BMPs in this chapter.
Chapter 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
Ballwin has 5 parks totaling nearly 150 acres of land, and over 30 miles of biking, hiking and
jogging trails.
Ballwin has responsibility for the development and maintenance of public recreational areas
and green space within the city, including neighborhood and regional parks, community
gardens, bike and walking paths, trees, public facility landscaping and public street right-of-
way landscaping. The city promotes the concept of an interconnected system of open space
and trails that facilitates active and passive recreational opportunities for the community.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of storm water
by providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release in to
streams, storing, filtering and slowing storm water runoff down and thus preventing or
reducing flash flooding downstream. Local governments have an opportunity to use their park
lands to benefit the environment and to demonstrate best practices for storm water
management.
Maintenance activities include mowing of grassy areas, pruning trees, removing fallen limbs,
mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance (repairing asphalt bike path and
walking trails), routine cleaning of park restrooms, and parking lot maintenance.
B. Locations:
Vlasis Park located at 14811 Manchester Road
New Ballwin Park is located at 315 New Ballwin Road
Ferris Park is located at 500 Rock Road
The Pointe is located at #1 Ballwin Commons Circle
Holloway Park is located at 335 Holloway Road
Green spaces are interlaced throughout the community and are maintained by the Parks
Department.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Parks and Recreation has authority over all parks. Parks are actively
managed by the Superintendent of Parks.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The following materials and quantities are typically kept on hand for landscaping and park
maintenance operations.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
PARK DESIGN AND SITING
• Creating undeveloped, natural open space and preserving established trees and other
natural vegetation, particularly around natural drainage areas, such as creeks, is
recommended. Tree buffers and tall grass filters around streams improve water quality,
slow runoff and prevent erosion. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet is recommended.
• Avoid site development and placing facilities in the flood plain.
• Design park sites, as much as possible given the demand for park utilization, to preserve
natural resources such as wetlands and existing natural draining areas, minimizing their
loss and maintaining existing trees and a riparian corridor next to creeks to the degree
possible. Minimize creek crossings, and place them only after consideration of the stream
features to enable natural flow.
• Design landscaping that minimizes the need for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide. Select
plants appropriate for site conditions for sun, moisture, and soil type.
• Utilize low impact development as much as possible to minimize imperious surfaces, See
Chapter 5.
• In designing storm water drainage facilities, use the following BMPs to improve the water
quality of site drainage and slow the release of water to streams: wet detention ponds,
micro detention basins, wetlands, rain gardens, vegetative filter strips and riparian buffers
along streams, structural filter systems, pervious pavement and green (vegetated) roofs.
Fact Sheets on storm water management practices are available from the Stormwater
Manager's Resource Center at the following web site: http://www.stormwatercenter.net
35
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
• Require pet owners to pickup and properly dispose of pet waste in parks. Provide pet
waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks to notify visitors of the requirement.
• Control wild geese populations near lakes with "no feeding the geese" signs and
ordinances. Other techniques to control populations include habitat modification by
increasing shoreline vegetation height, scare tactics, relocation or euthanasia if other
methods fail.
PARK/LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
• Remove litter and debris regularly.
• Properly dispose of yard waste, for example, by composting. Do not dump yard waste into
creeks.
• Minimize mowing of open space sites, depending on site objectives.
• Mow grass higher and leave grass clippings on the lawn to retain moisture and provide
nutrients.
• Discourage exotic invasive vegetation and encourage its replacement with native plantings
as resources are available.
• Perform soil tests to determine the optimum fertilizer application rate.
• Apply fertilizer in accordance with manufacture's recommendations. Apply slow release
fertilizers whenever possible and appropriate.
• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and destroying the root zone, employ
BMPs for erosion and sediment control. For details concerning these BMPs, see the
SWPPP link on the following web page: www.stlouisco.com/plan/land disturbance.html
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches, creeks, rivers, lakes,
ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR 401 water
quality certification. Examples of activities that require a permit include: placing culverts in
creeks, constructing outfalls, and stream restoration activities. See Appendix 5-F1 for a
summary of permit requirements.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize the use of pesticides.
Pesticide application should be timed carefully and combined with other pest management
practices. Pests and their development stage should be identified accurately and pesticide
applications made only when necessary, using the least amount needed and the least
toxic product for adequate pest control.
• Whenever feasible: 1 . Use mechanical controls to keep pests in check, such as species
specific, pheromone based traps. 2. Remove pests by hand. 3. Eliminate conditions
favorable to pests and place barriers to control pests and weeds.
• Use natural, biological controls, when feasible, including natural enemies of pests, such
as: predators, parasites, pathogens, pheromones, and juvenile hormones.
• Reduce the risk of mosquito borne diseases by reducing stagnant water (mosquito
breeding grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles.
Keeping storm water drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable
for mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
http://ipm.missouri.edu/ipmresources.htm
36
• Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated Pest Management techniques for
weed control. This includes practices that keep plants healthy, such as selecting disease
and pest resistant varieties and maintaining good growing conditions. For turf grass,
prevention of weed infestation begins with practices to promote healthy grass through
proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing, aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU
Extension Publication IPM1009:
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agquides/pests/ipm1009.htm
PESTICIDE/HERBICIDE USE
• When pesticide or herbicide use is required, select pesticides carefully, avoiding highly
water soluble and very environmentally stable products to minimize potential for leaching
from soils into waterways. Environmentally friendly products readily degrade in the
environment and/or bind to soil particles.
• Consider the vulnerability of the area in which pesticides are applied, avoiding areas with
streams, ponds, sinkholes or wells. Sinkholes are an environmentally sensitive area
because they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little natural soil
filtering.
• When possible apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage,
and use site specific rather than wholesale application.
• Read pesticide labels carefully for information and restrictions about the rate, timing, and
placement of the pesticide in that container. Calibrate equipment to apply at the proper
rate. Apply when the threat of rain is low to avoid wasting material and washing pesticide
into the waterways. Carefully calculate how much pesticide concentrate is needed to treat
the specific site with the equipment being used, to eliminate disposal of excess spray mix.
• Store pesticides in their original containers in a cool, well-ventilated building with a
concrete floor. Handle pesticides carefully to avoid spills.
• Dispose of pesticide waste properly, following label instructions.
G. NPDES Permit status:

Chapter 8 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm
Sewers and Inlet Structures
A. Description of Activities:
The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey surface runoff to receiving waters
during storms in order to prevent flooding. The system consists of improved and unimproved
drainage channels, culverts. bridges, trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers
and storm inlet structures. Maintenance of the system is necessary to ensure it functions
hydraulically as intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance
of improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance responsibilities are
defined in MSD's "Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems and
Facilities". Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining the storm sewer
systems on their property. In addition, municipalities are responsible for maintaining bridges,
storm culverts, ditches and gutters along the streets in their city. MSD does maintain road
inlets and culverts on systems dedicated to MSD. Ballwin and MSD do not maintain detention
and retention basins or yard swales. Maintenance of basins and yard swales is the
responsibility of property owners, as addressed in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
B. Locations:
The City of Ballwin does not maintain catch basins, creeks, or ditches on private property.
Therefore, the miles of storm sewers, open natural drainage ditches and channels, and catch
basins is unknown.
C. Responsible Parties:
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Ballwin Public Works Department has no responsibility for cleaning inlets or storms sewers.
They will clear brush blockages in creeks in lieu of MSD when a storm is immediately pending
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
MSD has the responsibility for maintenance of the storm drainage system. Therefore,
information as to the types of waste and method of disposal is unknown to Ballwin.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
38
GENERAL
• If storm inlets/catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non-
storm water discharges or illegal dumping of waste, contact MSD, Division of
Environmental Compliance at 314-436-8710 for investigation and enforcement.
• Implement Phase II public education efforts; public participation efforts to mark inlets
with "No Dumping, Drains to Stream"; or organize public stream clean-up events.
• Identify failing detention or retention basins and report them to MSD Customer Service
at 314-768-6260.
• Comply with Ballwin's land disturbance ordinances.
DRAINAGE CHANNELS
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or
fill material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches, creeks, rivers,
lakes, ponds, and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR
401 water quality certification. Examples of construction or repair activities requiring a
permit include: sewer creek crossings, outfall structures, stream bank stabilization, and
all channel modifications. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
• Consider downstream conditions prior to spot channel stabilization efforts to avoid
simply moving problems downstream. Revegetate stabilized areas with appropriate
plants whenever possible, and as soon as possible.
• MSD's Division of Environmental Compliance will inspect all open drainage channels
under its Illicit Discharge Detection Program, and will notify MSD's Operations
Department, St. Louis County, the municipality or MoDOT, as applicable, regarding
maintenance needs concerning damaged structures or blockages requiring removal.
MUNICIPAL DETENTION BASINS
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum extent
practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities".
• Inspect facilities to insure proper operation and maintain as needed, including: trash
and debris removal, vegetation control, vector control, structural and erosion repair,
and sediment removal to restore capacity.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable
H. Training:
MSD collection system operators, contractors and municipal employees involved in
maintenance of drainage systems will be trained on the BMPs in this chapter.
39
Chapter 9 - Water Quality Impact Assessment of Flood Management
Projects
A. Description of Activities:
New flood management projects located within the co-permittees jurisdiction must be
assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing projects must be assessed for incorporation
of additional water quality protection devices or practices, where feasible. Flood management
projects in the Plan Area can include: regional storm water control (retention basins, detention
basins); storm water drainage conveyance capacity improvements; and designated uses of
flood plain land.
Storm water management projects in both development and re-development will be assessed
by MSD or the developer for water quality impact, according to MSD's "Rules and Regulations
and Engineering Design Requirements for Stormwater Drainage Facilities", which address the
Storm Water Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM 5. All flood
management projects involving channel modification will also be assessed for aquatic and
water quality impacts through the Corps of Engineers 404 permit and MDNR 401 water quality
certification process.
B. Locations:
No existing projects are located within the Plan Area.
C. Responsible Parties:
All co-permittees that plan, design or install flood management projects are subject to this
chapter. MSD has general responsibility for storm water drainage facilities in the Plan Area.
St. Louis County, municipalities, and property owners have responsibility for the drainage
facilities not dedicated to, and maintained by MSD. St. Louis County and municipalities
maintain control over planning and zoning, land use regulations, and flood plain management
through ordinances.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Not applicable. For construction phase of work, land disturbance requirements will apply.
See Chapter 2 and 8 for construction and maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapter 2 and 8 for maintenance.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• Implement and enforce ordinances and/or procedures requiring that water quality
factors be incorporated into the design and operation of storm water/flood control
structures.
40
• Inspect existing flood management facilities to determine water quality impacts and
exploit opportunities for improvement.
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation should be modified to the maximum
extent practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and Regulations
and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities".
• Design new flood management projects to prevent or minimize adverse water quality
impacts, exploring alternative programs utilizing non-structural flood damage reduction
and stream bank stabilization measures to the maximum extent practicable, such as
flood proofing houses, and buy outs.
• Use models based on fully developed conditions, and adopt a free board above base
flood elevation for development.
• Identify existing wetlands or other natural open space areas, particularly around
streams, and preserve them from development so they can provide natural attenuation,
retention or detention of runoff.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential water
quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Work closely with local governments, environmental organizations and others to
develop multi-use open space corridors along streams which will allow for overbank
floodplain storage.
• Floodplains are preserved to the maximum extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent practicable,
utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open storm water conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent practicable to
preserve natural conditions and habitat.
• Channel improvement projects are to use natural approaches rather than concrete,
riprap or other "hard" techniques to the maximum extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to
minimize scour and erosion.
• Trash racks are recommended at outlet structures of detention ponds and other flood
control structures to capture trash and floatables.
• Employ natural solutions and use controls that preserve the hydrology of a site as a
first line of flood control to the maximum extent practicable.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable
H. Training:
Employees and contractors responsible for the planning and design of the flood management
projects identified in Section A should be trained on the BMPs in this chapter. In addition,
employees performing this work should be familiar with MSD's rules and regulations and
engineering design requirements for storm water drainage facilities.

Phase II Permit MO-R040005
Pertinent to Minimum Control Measure #6
(Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping from Municipal Operations)
Permit Section 4.2 lists the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) to be addressed by each
co-permittee. Section 4.2.6 specifically addresses the requirements for MCM #6. In addition,
portions of Section 4.1. 1 as well as other permit provisions are applicable in addressing the
requirements of MCM #6.
4.2.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
4.2.6.1 Permit requirement. The permittee shall:
4.2.6.1 .1 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; and
4.2.6.1.2 Using training materials that are available from EPA, State, or other
organizations, the permittee shall develop training to prevent and reduce storm
water pollution from activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet
and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbance, and storm
water system maintenance.
4.2.6.2 Decision process. The permittee shall document the permittee's decision
process for the development of a pollution prevention/good housekeeping
program for municipal operations. The permittee's rational statement shall
address both the permittee's overall pollution prevention/good housekeeping
program and the individual BMPs, measurable goals, and responsible persons
for the program. The rationale statement shall include the following information,
at a minimum:
4.2.6.2.1 The permittee's operation and maintenance program to prevent or reduce
pollutant runoff from their municipal operations. The permittee shall specifically
list the municipal operations that are impacted by this operation and
maintenance program. The permittee shall also include a list of industrial
facilities the permittee owns or operates that are subject to EPA's Multi-Sector
General permit (MSGP) or individual NPDES permits for discharges of storm
water associated with industrial activity that ultimately discharge to the
permittee's MS4. The permittee shall include the permit number or a copy of the
industrial application form for each facility.
4.2.6.2.2 Any government employee training program the permittee uses to prevent and
reduce storm water pollution from activities such as park and open space
maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land
disturbances. and storm water system maintenance. The permittee shall
describe how this training program will be coordinated with the outreach
programs developed for the public information minimum measure and the illicit
discharge minimum measure.
43
4.2.6.2.3 The permittee's program description shall specifically address the following
areas:
4.2.6.2.3.1 Maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long term inspection
procedures for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants to the
permittee's regulated small MS4.
4.2.6.2.3.2 Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from streets,
roads, highways, municipal parking lots, maintenance and storage yards, waste
transfer stations, fleet or maintenance shops with outdoor storage areas, and
salt/sand storage locations and snow disposal areas the permittee operates.
4.2.6.2.3.3 Procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from the permittee's MS4
and area of jurisdiction, including dredged material, accumulated sediments,
floatables, and other debris.
4.2.6.2.3.4 Procedures to ensure that new flood management projects are assessed for
impacts on water quality and existing projects are assessed for incorporation of
additional water quality protection devices or practices.
4.2.6.2.4 Identification of the person(s) responsible for overall management and
implementation of their pollution prevention/good housekeeping program and if
different, the person responsible for each of the BMPs identified for this
program.
4.2.6.2.5 How the permittee will evaluate the success of this minimum measure, including
how the permittee selected the measurable goals for each of the BMPs.
Other Permit Sections Pertinent to MCM #6
The following four sections contain pollution control requirements specifically for municipally
owned facilities and were, therefore considered when drafting the O&M Program under MCM
#6.
4.1 .1.2 For facilities under the control of the permittee good housekeeping practices
shall be maintained to keep solid waste from entry into waters of the state to the
maximum extent practicable.
4.1 .1.3 All fueling facilities under the control of the permittee shall adhere to applicable
federal and state regulations concerning underground storage, above ground
storage, and dispensers, including spill prevention, control and counter
measures.
4.1 .1.4 Substances regulated by federal law under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) or the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) that are transported, stored, or used
for maintenance. cleaning or repair by the permittee shall be managed according
to the provisions of RCRA and CERCLA.
44
4.1.1.5 All paint, 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 storm water. Sufficient practices of spill prevention, control,
and/or management shall be provided to prevent any spills of these pollutants
from entering a water 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.
Other provisions of the permit also were considered in developing the municipal O&M
program. MCMs #3 (Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination), #4 (Construction Site Storm
Water Runoff Control) and#5 (Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New
Development and Redevelopment) all can apply to activities conducted by the municipal co-
permittee at municipally owned projects. While the permit requirements for these MCMs are
primarily geared toward the municipal co-permittee exerting control over these activities by the
people living and working within the municipality, logically similar controls must be applied to
municipal activities of the same nature. The municipal co-permittees must ensure that there
are no illicit discharges from municipal facilities, that there are runoff controls in place for
municipal land disturbance projects and that storm water management provisions have been
considered for new or redeveloped municipal properties.

Appendix 1- B1 : Policies
CITY OF BALLWIN DRAINAGE & CREEK CLEANING
OFFICIAL POLICY Originally Approved by Voice Vote: May, 1993
Regarding trees threatening to fall into or across the creek, and/or tall weeds, standing water, or
other debris in the creek, the following policy shall be in effect:
1. Only trees or other obstructions within the creek channel which are impeding the flow or blocking a
culvert, pipe or bridge will be removed by the City.
2. Trees which may someday fall into the creek are not removed by the City.
3. Standing water is an ongoing problem, but a natural feature of a creek. The City limits its
responsibility in this area to only placing larvicide pellets into these pools for mosquito control
during the mosquito season.
4. Weeds and other vegetation will not be removed unless it is severely impeding the flow. This
vegetation is good for controlling erosion.
5. Gravel deposits within the creek are naturally occurring and will only be removed if they seriously
impede the flow or block the entrance or outfall of a culvert,pipe, or bridge.
6. The removal of grass clipping, brush, or other debris dumped into the creek will be the
responsibility of the property owner.
Any other situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and if needed, a final
determination made by the City Administrator.
48
STORM DRAINAGE &
CITY OF BALLWIN STORM SEWER MAINTENANCE
OFFICIAL POLICY Originally Approved by Resolution dated Sept. 14, 1992
The following policy sets forth guidelines for City involvement on drainage work on private
property, within the public right-of-way, and in easements dedicated to the City for maintenance
purposes:
1. If a storm sewer pipe is leaking, evident by the development of sinkhole or similar feature,the City
will make the necessary repairs. These repairs will be made only if the sewer is within an easement
granting access to the City of Ballwin and adequate access is available.
2. Drainage problems resulting from surface drainage from surrounding private property is the
property owner's responsibility unless caused by a City project.
3. Ground sinking around a storm sewer basin is indicative of a leaking structure. Ballwin will make
necessary repairs following the same guidelines as for a leaking pipe.
4. Trees in the creek or fallen across a creek and creating a blockage in the flow of the creek will be
removed and disposed of by the City if access is available.
5. Roadside ditches are the property owner's responsibility for maintenance.
6. Pipes under driveways and driveway aprons are considered to be private property and,the
maintenance responsibility of the property owner.
7. Creek cleaning will be limited to removing debris which impedes the flow or blocks a bridge or
culvert. Ballwin will not attempt to eliminate pools of water in the creek. If a pool is caused by
scour at the end of a pipe discharge into the creek, Ballwin may add large rock, broken concrete or
other material as is judged appropriate if the problem is accessible from a public roadway. (See
Creek Cleaning Policy)
If creek erosion endangers a home or habitable structure (excludes fences and sheds),the City may fund
necessary repairs. Even if this criteria is met, repairs are subject to availability of funds and budget
approval. Prior to any creek work, access must be insured by easement or right-of-way. Loss of
ground or fences is not justification for creek stabilization.
CITY OF BALLWIN STORM WATER - PRIVATE PROPERTY
49
OFFICIAL POLICY Originally Approved by Mayor's Memo - August 21, 1995
No storm water work will be undertaken on private property unless:
1. There is a dedicated, recorded easement within the subdivision. The City accepts full responsibility
for maintenance of existing storm sewers;
2. There is a dedicated, recorded easement outside a subdivision such as a creek waterway. The City
has a right, but not a duty, for maintenance in such cases;
3. If the City has caused the condition,the City will do maintenance and/or repair;
4. If the City has permission(preferably written) from property owners and the work will, in the City's
opinion, benefit the entire watershed;
5. There is eminent danger of loss of structure (structure defined as inhabited house and/or garage).

Appendix 3- F1 : Corps of Engineers 404 Permit & MDNR 401 Certification
All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. The permitting and certification process is shared
between the Corps and the MDNR.
If you are considering a project that may involve placing materials in a lake, river, stream,
ditch or wetland (including dry streams, ditches or wetlands) contact the Corps to find out if
the project you are planning is in jurisdictional waters and is a regulated activity. The Corps
has the sole authority to determine whether the activity is regulated; whether a site specific,
individual 404 permit is required, or whether a Nationwide Permit (NWP) applies for projects
with minor impacts. If a NWP does apply, contacting the Corps of Engineers is recommended
to determine thresholds for notification under the NWP, and to obtain additional regional
requirements imposed by the Corps' St. Louis Office.
The MDNR requires any project that needs a 404 Permit from the Corps (individual or NWP)
to also obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification (401 Certification) from MDNR. The 401
Certification is verification by the state that the project will not violate water quality standards.
The department may require actions on projects to protect water quality in the form of
certification conditions. For some of the NWPs, the MDNR has published their conditions that
must be met in addition to the NWP conditions.
After you contact the Corps about your project and, if applicable, submit an application, they
will send you a letter authorizing your project under a particular permit. If the Corp's letter to
you indicates that you must obtain an individual 401 certification, you must send an
application to MDNR also. If they state that MDNR has 'conditionally certified' your activity,
and have enclosed certification conditions, then nothing further is needed.
Questions about permit applicability and procedures for obtaining individual permits can be
found by calling the Corps of Engineers at 314-331-8575 or 314-331-8186. Permit application
forms and procedures for applying to the Corps and the MDNR can be found on the following
web pages:
http://www.mvs.usace.army.mil/permits/permitap.htm.
http://www.dnr.mo.gov/wpscd/wpcp/401/wpcp-401 .htm#qeneral.
The following is a list of NWPs commonly applicable to municipal operations. For most of
these NWPs, the MDNR has conditionally certified these activities. The NWPs will list
numerous thresholds for applicability and notification in terms of linear feet and acreage of the
project.
• NWP 3 Maintenance — repair or replacement of an existing structure, and removal of
accumulated sediment or placement of riprap to protect a structure.
• NWP 7 Outfall Structures — construction of new outfall and intake structures, and
removal of accumulated sediment blocking these structures.
• NWP 12 Utility Lines — construction, maintenance, and repair of utility lines (sewer,
water, electric or communication), including outfalls and excavations for the utility line.
• NWP 13 Bank Stabilization — stabilization projects for erosion protection.
61
• NWP 14 Linear Transportation — construction or modification of linear transportation
crossings, such as bridges and culverts for roads and trails.
• NWP 27 Stream and Wetland Restoration Activities — activities associated with the
restoration of former waters, or the enhancement or creation of wetlands and riparian
areas, or the restoration and enhancement of streams, including activities associated
with flow modification, habitat and vegetation.
• NWP 31 Maintenance of Existing Flood Control Facilities — dredge or fill activities
associated with maintaining existing flood control facilities such as retention/detention
basins and channels.
• NWP 41 Reshaping Existing Drainage Ditches — dredge or fill activities to modify the
cross-sectional configuration of drainage ditches, not modifying capacity beyond the
original design.
• NWP 43 Storm Water Management — construction, maintenance, and dredging of
storm water management facilities, such as ponds, detention/retention basins, outfalls,
and emergency spillways.

Appendix 6- Al : Hydrodynamic Separator Unit
ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS
CDS°Inspection and Maintenance Guide Maintenance
The CDS system should be inspected at regular intervals and maintained when necessary to ensure optimum performance.
The rate at which the system collects pollutants will depend more heavily on site activities than the size of the unit. For
example, unstable soils or heavy winter sanding will cause the grit chamber to fill more quickly but regular sweeping of paved
surfaces will slow accumulation.
Inspection
Inspection is the key to effective maintenance and is easily performed. Pollutant transport and deposition may vary from year
to year and regular inspections will help ensure that the system is cleaned out at the appropriate time.At a minimum,
inspections should be performed twice per year(e.g. spring and fall) however more frequent inspections may be necessary in
climates where winter sanding operations may lead to rapid accumulations, or in equipment washdown areas. Installations
should also be inspected more frequently where excessive amounts of trash are expected.
The visual inspection should ascertain that the system components are in working order and that there are no blockages or
obstructions in the inlet and separation screen. The inspection should also quantify the accumulation of hydrocarbons,trash,
and sediment in the system. Measuring pollutant accumulation can be done with a calibrated dipstick, tape measure or other
measuring instrument. If absorbent material is used for enhanced removal of hydrocarbons,the level of discoloration of the
sorbent material should also be identified during inspection. It is useful and often required as part of an operating permit to
keep a record of each inspection.A simple form for doing so is provided.
Access to the CDS unit is typically achieved through two manhole access covers. One opening allows for inspection and
cleanout of the separation chamber(cylinder and screen) and isolated sump. The other allows for inspection and cleanout of
sediment captured and retained outside the screen. For deep units, a single manhole access point would allows both sump
cleanout and access outside the screen.
The CDS system should be cleaned when the level of sediment has reached 75%of capacity in the isolated sump or when an
appreciable level of hydrocarbons and trash has accumulated. If absorbent material is used, it should be replaced when
significant discoloration has occurred. Performance will not be impacted until 100% of the sump capacity is exceeded
however it is recommended that the system be cleaned prior to that for easier removal of sediment. The level of sediment is
easily determined by measuring from finished grade down to the top of the sediment pile.To avoid underestimating the level
of sediment in the chamber,the measuring device must be lowered to the top of the sediment pile carefully. Particles at the
top of the pile typically offer less resistance to the end of the rod than consolidated particles toward the bottom of the pile.
Once this measurement is recorded, it should be compared to the as-built drawing for the unit to determine weather the
height of the sediment pile off the bottom of the sump floor exceeds 75%of the total height of isolated sump.
Cleaning
Cleaning of a CDS systems should be done during dry weather conditions when no flow is entering the system. The use of a
vacuum truck is generally the most effective and convenient method of removing pollutants from the system. Simply remove
the manhole covers and insert the vacuum hose into the sump. The system should be completely drained down and the sump
fully evacuated of sediment.The area outside the screen should also be cleaned out if pollutant build-up exists in this area.
In installations where the risk of petroleum spills is small, liquid contaminants may not accumulate as quickly as sediment.
However,the system should be cleaned out immediately in the event of an oil or gasoline spill should be cleaned out
immediately. Motor oil and other hydrocarbons that accumulate on a more routine basis should be removed when an
appreciable layer has been captured. To remove these pollutants, it may be preferable to use absorbent pads since they are
usually less expensive to dispose than the oil/water emulsion that may be created by vacuuming the oily layer.Trash and
debris can be netted out to separate it from the other pollutants. The screen should be power washed to ensure it is free of
trash and debris.
Manhole covers should be securely seated following cleaning activities to prevent leakage of runoff into the system from
above and also to ensure that proper safety precautions have been followed. Confined space entry procedures need to be
followed if physical access is required. Disposal of all material removed from the CDS system should be done in accordance
with local regulations. In many jurisdictions, disposal of the sediments may be handled in the same manner as the disposal of
sediments removed from catch basins or deep sump manholes.

1. The water depth to sediment is determined by taking two measurements with a stadia rod:one measurement from the manhole opening to the
top of the sediment pile and the other from the manhole opening to the water surface. If the difference between these measurements is less
than the values listed in table 1 the system should be cleaned out. Note:to avoid underestimating the volume of sediment in the chamber,
the measuring device must be carefully lowered to the top of the sediment pile.
2. For optimum performance,the system should be cleaned out when the floating hydrocarbon layer accumulates to an appreciable thickness.In
the event of an oil spill,the system should be cleaned immediately.

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
Ballwin.
Best Management Practice (BMP) means: Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution
of streams within St. Louis County from urban runoff. BMPs also include treatment
requirements, operating procedures and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks,
sludge or waste disposal or drainage from raw material storage. BMPs may be structural or
non-structural. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)1 of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200)
Coordinating Authority means: The municipal entity, which is one of the co-permittees to a
state issued Phase II storm water permit, that is recognized by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) as the party which will coordinate the activities of all of the co-
permittees in meeting the requirements of the permit. For the St. Louis County Plan Area, the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) has been identified in the permit as the
coordinating authority for the 61 co-permittees. One of the coordinating authority's
responsibilities is to prepare and submit an annual report to the MDNR on the status of
compliance of all 61 co-permittees with the permit and approved SWMP.
Co-permittee means: An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to
multiple entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis
County Plan Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions
relating to the discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the
responsibilities for which it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share
in the financial and administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each
other and with the coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with
meeting the commitments in the SWMP. The co-permittees are listed in Appendix 1-Al.
Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) — the technology-based discharge standard for
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges that
was established by CWA §402 (p). A discussion of MEP as it applies to regulated small MS4s
is found at 40 CFR 122.34.
MCMs means: Minimum Control Measures. The six MCMs are: Public education and
outreach; Public participation/involvement; Illicit discharge, detection and elimination;
Construction site runoff control; Post-construction site runoff control; and Pollution
prevention/good housekeeping.
Municipal Industrial Facility means: An industrial facility, as defined in the federal and state
storm water regulations, which is owned or operated by a municipality. The regulations define
covered industrial facilities by their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes as published
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. From this extensive list of covered SIC codes,
the following operations have been identified as those most likely to be owned or operated by
a municipality: Transportation Operations, Landfills, Hazardous Waste
Treatment/Storage/Disposal facilities, Vehicle Maintenance or Fueling facilities, Vehicle
66
Washing facilities, Solid Waste Transfer facilities, Wastewater Treatment facilities, Recycling
facilities, Yard Waste/Composting facilities and certain types of Warehousing & Storage
facilities.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) means: A conveyance or system of
conveyances including roads and highways with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch
basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, paved or unpaved channels or storm drains designated and
utilized for routing of storm water which is contained within the municipal corporate limits or is
owned and operated by the state, city, town, village, county, district, association or other
public body created by or pursuant to the laws of Missouri having jurisdiction over disposal of
sewage, industrial waste, storm water or other liquid wastes and is not a part or portion of a
combined sewer system. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)16 of Missouri Storm
Water Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200). Each of the 61 co-permittees operates its own MS4. In
addition, the term is used to refer to the entire St. Louis County Plan Area which is identified in
the Phase II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Municipal Work Group means: A group of municipal representatives organized under the
provisions of Chapter 14 of the St. Louis County SWMP to develop a model Operation and
Maintenance Program and a Training Program for the 61 co-permittees in order to comply
with the provisions of Section 4.2.6.1.1 of the Plan Area Phase II storm water permit. The
work group members are listed in Appendix 1-A3.
Municipality means: Any public entity as described in the definition of Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System. St. Louis County and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District are
considered "municipalities" for the purposes of the Phase II storm water permit along with the
59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees. The Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT) is also a "municipality" and operates an MS4 within the Plan Area.
However, MoDOT is covered by a separate state permit and is not a co-permittee under the
St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 permit.
NPDES means: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This term was introduced
in Section 402 of the federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (last amended in 1987 and
now known as the Clean Water Act). Section 402 provides for the issuance of NPDES
permits for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States and specifies the
conditions under which permits may be issued. The 1987 amendments established the
phased permitting requirements for municipal storm water discharges. In Missouri, the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources has been delegated the authority to issue NPDES
permits.
Phase I means: The first phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
December 17, 1990. Phase I regulations provide for storm water permitting for industrial
facilities, for land disturbance sites 5 acres or greater in size and for MS4s having populations
greater than 100,000 (medium and large MS4s). Industrial facilities operated by
municipalities, regardless of size, are included under Phase I. See definition of "Municipal
Industrial Facility."
Phase II means: The second phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
February 7, 2000. Phase II regulations provide for storm water permitting for MS4s, in
67
urbanized areas as defined by the Bureau of the Census, with populations below 100,000
(Small MS4s) and for land disturbance sites between 1 acre and 5 acres in size. Each of the
individual municipal entities within the St. Louis County Plan Area has a population below
100,000 and is, therefore, a Small MS4 subject to Phase II requirements.
Phase II Permit means: Storm water permit # MO-R040005 with effective date of March 10,
2003, issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to the 61 St. Louis County co-
permittees. This permit was issued pursuant to the provisions of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200.
Plan Area means: The portion of St. Louis County served by separate storm sewers and
within the corporate boundaries of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. The Plan Area
includes the 59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees as well as unincorporated St.
Louis County. While there are a total of 77 municipalities in the Plan Area, 18 have
populations of less than 1000 and are therefore, exempt from the Phase II permitting
requirements, per Section (1)(C)22 of Missouri storm water regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200. The
City of St. Louis and twelve county municipalities adjoining the City of St. Louis are served by
combined sewers and are not part of the Plan Area. The Plan Area is identified in the Phase
II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Plan Area Training Committee means: The Municipal Work Group defined above.
St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee means: The group of
22 representatives from municipal governments, St. Louis County, MSD and various state and
regional agencies which developed the Storm Water Management Plan for St. Louis County.
Separate Storm Sewer means: A pipe, conduit, conveyance or system of conveyances
(including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, manmade channels or storm drains) designed and intended to receive and convey
storm water and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined
sewer system.
Storm Water means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the
issuance of NPDES permit MO-R040005.
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file showing
that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
Urban Runoff means: Storm water and other runoff from streets, parking lots, rooftops,
residential, commercial and industrial areas and any areas that have been rendered
impervious through development activities. Such runoff becomes contaminated with
fertilizers. pesticides. vehicle drippings and emissions, animal wastes, street litter, yard
wastes, silt, chemical spills and other urban wastes. These contaminants are carried through
the separate storm sewers and discharged into area streams where they degrade the water
68
quality, harm aquatic life and other wildlife, reduce aesthetic and recreational values and
make the waters unsafe for human use.
