Note From The Authors
This document is a Model Operation and Maintenance Program template developed to meet
the requirements in the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Stormwater Permit, Section 4.2.6.
All co-permittees are required to implement an Operation and Maintenance Program to
comply with their permit. Stormwater A model 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 model 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 the Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District Division of Environmental Compliance at 314-436-8710.

Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Stormwater Permit
MO -R040005 to the City of Bel -Ridge and other co-permittees in St. Louis County, effective
March 10, 2003. The area served by the 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, MCM 6 section of the permit 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 Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4
Stormwater is implemented under the Phase II permit. As a co-permittee under the state
permit the City of Bel -Ridge is bound by the commitments contained in the SWMP. The
SWMP requires a model operation and maintenance program template and that each co-
permittee implement a written operation and maintenance program.
This document represents the City of Bel -Ridge implementation of the model operation and
maintenance program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet City of Bel -Ridge needs
and goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Bel -
Ridge 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 Bel -Ridge 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.
B. Policies:
The City of Bel -Ridge has adopted several policies regarding the purchase of recycled
products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity; 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
Page 4 of 31 Rev. December 2018
all nine categories. For consistency within the Plan area, each of the nine categories is
addressed in the following Chapters 2 through 10. A statement of non -applicability is
contained in those chapters where the City of Bel -Ridge 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 Bel -Ridge will train all staff associated with activities that can impact pollution in
stormwater runoff. Each chapter will identify employees who should be subject to training on
that particular chapter. Employees will receive general stormwater 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 stormwater BMPs, proper waste management and applicable
NPDES permit requirements with all employees affected. New employees will be trained on
applicable procedures within the first three months of employment. Contractors working for
the City of Bel -Ridge and implementing BMPs for municipal work, as described in Section A.,
must train their employees on applicable BMPs before work begins. To maintain proficiency,
a schedule of periodic retraining will be implemented, or provisions made for an employee
awareness campaign to ensure employees remain aware of the BMPs and proper waste
management.
Records documenting the training of employees and contractors must be maintained in file.

E. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITIES
• City uses recyclable materials whenever possible.
o City uses non -hazardous fluorescent light bulbs.
® Avoid using copper or silver -containing algaecides in lake.
® Maintain site plumbing plans showing sanitary and storm sewer connections. Ensure
wastewater is discharged only to the sanitary sewer, and stormwater to the storm
sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for stormwater drainage.
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Collect and recycle, to the Kediice • then Recycle
maximum extent practicable,
wastes generated by municipal
operations. (See the policy in Appendix 2-F1.)
® 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 stormwater runoff.
® Material stockpiles which cannot feasibly be
covered should be surrounded by a berm,
sock or otherwise contained so that
stormwater runoff can be captured.
Page 8 of 31 Rev. December 2018
® Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of
stormwater 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Page 9 of 31 Rev. December2018
COMMUNITY
® Develop/enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers and
water -tightness for residential, commercial and industrial areas.
® 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 pet waste scoop dispensers and 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.
• Promote and assist in neighborhood and stream clean-up activities.
® Develop/enforce municipal ordinances against illegal discharges to stormwater from
sources such as failing septic tanks, septic tanks discharging to stormwater, etc.
Ordinances to address illegal connections of sanitary sewers should be at least as
stringent as the Missouri Department of Health regulations in 19 CSR 20-3 and County
requirements, such as St. Louis County Plumbing Code Section 1103.
O&M PROGRAM
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules
and long term inspection procedures in accordance with this program manual with
emphasis on safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws and good
environmental stewardship.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed
once a month and records kept of the inspections.
• 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.
F. NPDES Permit status:
MDNR general storm water permits are not applicable — no city activities.
G. Training:
All employees involved in maintenance operations, construction, purchasing, facility or site
design, or building or facility management will be trained on this chapter, including the
following Departments and work units:
In addition to training on the housekeeping BMPs and proper waste management, employees
will be provided general awareness of NPDES discharge requirements.

A. Description of Activities:
The City of Bel -Ridge performs the cleaning and maintenance of roadways, highways, and
parking facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities include, but may not be limited to
trash pickup from gutters & sewer inlets, patching, snow removal, and emergency situations
involving spills and accidents.
Trash pickup from gutters & sewer inlets are performed on a scheduled basis, or when
requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs where debris can accumulate in the
gutter line.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or cold
patching material.
1. Preparation — Cut hole out with straight edges at 90 degree angles. Remove loose
asphalt and debris. Line edges with emulations and fill.
2. Filling & Finishing — April to October months, hot patch is used to fill asphalt holes,
November to March months, cold patch is used to fill asphalt holes. Both patches are
then either rolled or power tamped.
The City of Bel -Ridge plow and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction during
winter snow events. Typically, 16 tons of salt is used to de-ice the pavement per snow event.
The City of Bel -Ridge will contact the corresponding fire department 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 structures of the City of St. Louis, Saint Louis County, and
