Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Stormwater Permit
MO-R040005 to the City of Chesterfield 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, section MCM 6 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 is
implemented under Phase II permit. As a co-permittee under the state permit the City of
Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield's implementation of the model operation
and maintenance program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet Chesterfield's needs
and goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of
Chesterfield's 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 Chesterfield
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 was originally adopted by Resolution Number 334 on December 4, 2006
(Appendix A). The program was later updated on May 11, 2010, and June 14, 2016 via
Resolution Number 425 (Appendix B). The date of this revision is August 21, 2019, which is
permitted in accordance with Section 2 of Resolution 425.
B. Policies:
The City of Chesterfield has adopted several pollution prevention policies including: 1) the
purchase of recycled paper products (Purchasing Policy Chapter III, Section 3 (Appendix C));
2) Procedure PW-016 Construction Site Waste Control (Appendix D); 4) Policy PW-033 City
Facility Environmental Regulations (Appendix E); and 5) Street Maintenance Policy Manual
Section 24.11 Material Conservation (Appendix F).

C. Organization of Manual:
The SWMP contains 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 10. A statement of non-
applicability is contained in those chapters where the City of Chesterfield is not engaged in the
subject activity.
D. Administration:
The responsible party for administration of the operation and maintenance (O&M) program is
the Public Works Director. 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 Chesterfield 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 year of employment. 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 are maintained by the City of Chesterfield.
E. Industrial Facilities No Exposure List:
The SWMP requires that each co-permittee list regulated industrial facilities (subject to
NPDES permit) that it owns or operates that are subject to "No Exposure Certification." No
exposure means all the materials and activities at a regulated facility are indoors or protected
from exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt and runoff. Guidance for no exposure certification is
located at: https://dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub2729.htm
A list of the City of Chesterfield's No Exposure Certifications (Appendix G) follows:

Pool Sanitary Sewer.
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 stormwater to the storm
sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for stormwater 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
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
stormwater drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
10
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
https://ipm.missouri.edu/pubs/ (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:
https://extension2.missouri.edu/MX399 (See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by municipal
operations.
• Purchase environmentally preferred products whenever practical. For a "Database of
Environmental Information for Products and Services," see EPA website:
https://www.gsa.governmentwide-initiative/sustainability/buy-green-products-services-
and-vehicles.
• 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 stormwater runoff.
• Material stockpiles which cannot feasibly be covered should be surrounded by a berm,
BMP, or otherwise contained so that stormwater runoff can be captured prior to
entering streams or collection facilities.
• 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
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. At the Public
Works Facility these are kept near the timeclocks, at City Hall these are kept in the
11
•
Building Maintenance Office. At the Park Maintenance Facility they are located in the
shop. At the Aquatic Center they are located in the pool chemical room.
• 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 pick up fluids.
• Spill response plans are recommended for all areas of municipal operations. 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 and enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers
and water-tightness for residential, commercial and industrial areas (Chesterfield
Municipal Code Chapter 25).
• Develop and enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard
waste disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties (Chesterfield
Municipal Code Chapter 25, Section 22-22 (Disposal of Trash) and Section 20-3
(Public Nuisances)).
• Develop and enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners to clean up
wastes from their pets and other animals (Section 22-21 (Domestic Animals) and
Section 5-2 (Dog, cats and other animals creating a nuisance)).
• 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.
• Administer solid waste contract which provides for recycling and yard waste services
for residential waste. All costs are paid by the residents.
• 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 and 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
1?
•
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. The City of
Chesterfield has adopted St. Louis County Plumbing Code.
• Develop and enforce municipal ordinances requiring the proper maintenance of septic
tanks and other small onsite sewage disposal systems. The City of Chesterfield has
adopted the St. Louis County Building Code and International Property Maintenance
Code, which covers these property maintenance topics.
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
annually 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.
G. NPDES Permit status:

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.
16
• All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at City 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 are collected and used in waste oil furnaces to heat the work bays.
• 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 hour with the anti-drain back valve or
filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process. Crushing the oil filter and
recycling is preferred.
• 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.
• Regularly inspect all tanks and containers to ensure physical integrity.
17
• 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 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 which require secondary containment 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
stormwater. The area should be graded and sloped to direct stormwater runoff away
from the site and to prevent runoff from flowing over the fueling area.
• Stormwater treatment devices can be used to treat runoff from fueling areas.
• Verify that fire extinguishers are charged and inspected yearly.
G. NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit status:
Vehicle maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under
the Missouri Stormwater Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES stormwater (Phase
I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit R80C. As stated above, all vehicle
repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors or are otherwise done without exposure to
stormwater. Therefore, a NPDES Stormwater permit is not required and a no-exposure
certification has been filed with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
H. Training:
Training on stormwater BMPs pertaining to fleet maintenance and repair will be provided to all
Street, Fleet, Parks, and Building Maintenance employees.

Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Chesterfield will wash vehicles and equipment at wash bay facilities designed
according to this chapter, whenever possible.
B. Locations:
A wash bay facility is located at the Public Works Facility — 165 Public Works Drive, and at the
Parks Maintenance Facility - 17925 North Outer 40 Road.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Superintendent of Maintenance Operations is responsible for ensuring that whenever
possible, all vehicles and equipment are washed in the wash bay located at the Public Works
Facility, and the Parks & Recreation Director is responsible for ensuring that whenever
possible, all vehicles and equipment are washed in the wash bay located at the Parks
Maintenance Facility.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Non-phosphate, bio-degradable detergent shall be used in the wash bay whenever possible.
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):
• 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 out
as needed as determined by the Building Maintenance Supervisor. Records of pumping
are maintained in the work order system.
• Job-site mud removal is performed without detergent in a contained, permeable (gravel)
area with wash water infiltrating into soil or gravel.
• It is impractical to wash some equipment in the wash bay at the Park Maintenance Facility.
Any equipment washed is in the lot is washed using water only. Dirt and sediment is
collected by the BMP prior to the concrete flume. Remaining water drains to a
pretreatment basin. No wash water drains to creeks or streams.
19
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable.
H. Training:
All Public Works and Parks Department employees responsible for operating and maintaining
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:
City Hall, 690 Chesterfield Parkway West, contains 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:
The Building Maintenance Supervisor is the responsible party that will ensure all repairs,
remodeling and construction will be performed without subjecting the stormwater 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. 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. 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.
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
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 stormwater system. Such
materials are disposed in the City Hall 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:
21
Waste Storage Requirements Method Of Disposal Contractor
Lumber, Drywall, Siding, Roof Dumpster or Container Sanitary or Demolition Waste Hauler

Landfill Recycling
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 stormwater runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer to information
on Low Impact Development from EPA's web site at: https://www.epa.gov/nps/urban-
runoff-low-impact-development for more information about Low Impact Development
methods.
• In designing stormwater drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, in accordance with
MSD's stormwater 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 stormwater management practices
are available from the Stormwater Manager's Resource Center at the following web site:
https://www.sustainable.orq/environment/water/319-stormwater-managers-resource-
center-smrc
• Carefully design and install plumbing and stormwater systems to code, eliminating cross-
connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and stormwater runoff contacting
stored material.
• Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer
and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with the City of Chesterfield's Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. 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
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual.
• 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 H for a summary of permit requirements.
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
• In accordance with City purchasing policies, every effort is made to purchase materials
that are manufactured with recycled materials.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and cover
stored materials to avoid stormwater 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 City
hall dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a City-
contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pick up trash that can be windblown 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.
• Utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint on structures older than 1978.
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 stormwater is sent to the storm sewer system.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a grading permit issued by the Public Works
Department. Stormwater operating permits will not apply unless process water will be
discharged to stormwater and not to the sanitary sewers.
23
H. Training:
All City employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities will
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 of Chesterfield is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of roadways and
parking facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities include, but may not be limited
to, street sweeping, flushing, applying surface seals, patching, and snow removal.
Street sweeping operations are outsourced, and normally involve self-contained and powered
collection devices, utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work is performed on a
bi-annual 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.
Parking structures are typically sealed on a five-to-seven year cycle to protect the concrete
and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements. Bridges and bridge decks are maintained in
accordance with the City's bridge maintenance plan.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix, cold
patching material, or concrete.
All roadways under the City's maintenance jurisdiction are plowed and salted during winter
snow events. Trucks are calibrated to distribute salt based upon the temperature and type /
intensity of the storm. Additional chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when
prevailing temperatures fall below 20° Fahrenheit.
B. Locations:
The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for the maintenance of all roads and bridges
located on public right of way dedicated to the City of Chesterfield. All parking lots located at
various City facilities are also maintained by the Street Maintenance Division.
C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking lots
include:
Public Works Director— (636) 537-4764
Superintendent of Maintenance Operations— (636) 812-9602
D. Materials/Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage:
Large quantities of materials are expended in the performance of work. Some material is
purchased and used immediately, while other material is stockpiled. The City of Chesterfield
25
works within the constraints of our budget while weighing fiscal responsibility against the
immediate and long-range needs for such materials, and adjust purchasing habits accordingly.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
MAINTENANCE
• If certain road maintenance activities are prone to produce pollutants that can be
carried off with stormwater 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.
• For steel girders on bridges, utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint
on structures older than 1978. Use only state certified removal contractors for lead
based paint abatement.
• Used asphalt is recycled when it is cost-beneficial.
• Block scuppers and drains when sealing bridge decks.
• On asphalt overlays, ensure stormwater drainage capacity of curbs and inlets is
maintained as much as possible.
• Comply with City of Chesterfield Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. For projects
less than the land disturbance threshold, 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 H 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.
• Store salt on a covered, impervious surface.
• 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
27
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 stormwater to the storm
drain.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not Applicable
H. Training:
All Street Maintenance Division employees, and all Parks & Recreation Division employees
involved in street 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:
The City of Chesterfield has seven parks totaling 489 acres of land.
The City of Chesterfield has responsibility for the development and maintenance of
recreational areas and green space within the City.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of stormwater by
providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release in to
streams, storing, filtering and slowing stormwater 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 stormwater management.
Maintenance activities include mowing of grassy areas, pruning trees, removing fallen limbs,
mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance, routine cleaning of park restrooms,
and athletic field maintenance.
B. Locations:
• Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex — 17925 North Outer 40 Road.
• Central Park — 16365 Lydia Hill.
• W.F. Dierberg Meditation Park — 13701 Olive Boulevard.
• Railroad Park — 17410 Edison Avenue.

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.
• Design park sites 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 uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer
and pesticide. Select plants appropriate for site conditions for sun, moisture, and soil type.
• Utilize low impact development to minimize impervious surfaces, see Chapter 5.
• In designing stormwater drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, to the maximum
extent possible 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. The use of swales instead of curbs along roads
and parking lots is beneficial to filter pollutants and reduce the volume and rate of
stormwater flow. Fact Sheets on stormwater management practices are available from the
Stormwater Manager's Resource Center at the following web site:
https://www.sustainable.orq/environment/water/319-stormwater-managers-resource-
center-smrc
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
• Sponsor activities and annual events that involve the general public, schools, watershed
groups, stream teams, etc., providing hands-on activities that promote water quality in their
adopted parks and greenways. Typical activities include: field trips, cleanups, educational
programs, restoration projects, stream monitoring, storm drain marking, and trail projects.
• Organize or participate in reforestation programs, planting native trees to buffer streams,
create shade, and beautify parks. Support community volunteer group efforts in these
programs.
• Require pet owners to pick up and properly dispose of pet waste in parks. Provide pet
waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks to notify visitors of the requirement.
30
• 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 or relocation.
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.
• Remove exotic invasive vegetation and replace with native plantings as resources are
available.
• Perform soil tests to determine the optimum fertilizer application rate.
• Apply most fertilizer only in cool weather, preferably fall. Avoid application before a rain,
and do not apply fertilizer at rates higher than indicated in on label instructions. Apply slow
release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU or resin coated fertilizer.
• 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
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual.
• 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 H 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.
• Use mechanical controls to keep pests in check, such as species specific, pheromone
based traps. Remove pests by hand. 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 West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding
grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping
stormwater drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at: https://ipm.missouri.edu/pubs/
• Minimize the use of herbicides to the maximum extent possible. 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:
https://extension2.missouri.edu/MX399
31
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.
• 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.

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, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD system. 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. MSD does 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 Chesterfield maintains all non-MSD storm sewer systems located on City right of
way and on City owned property. The storm sewer system is contained in the City's GIS.
C. Responsible Parties:
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
Telephone: (314) 768-6200

D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Standard maintenance equipment is utilized for cleaning storm sewers, performing
maintenance in channels, and clearing brush blockages.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Wastes generated from maintenance of the storm drainage system must be disposed of
properly, as indicated in the table. All waste being disposed of in a landfill must not contain
free liquid. Water draining from waste destined for a sanitary landfill is considered wastewater
and must be disposed of in a sanitary sewer system.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
GENERAL
• Within budgetary constraints and responsibilities, perform preventative maintenance of
the storm drainage system to remove flow obstructions to reduce flooding and erosion
problems and improve water quality.
• Utilize care in cleaning catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels, to properly
collect and dispose of waste as indicated in Section E to minimize contaminants
discharged into stormwater. Note in the work order the volume of waste collected and
disposed of. Investigate the source of increased maintenance needs, if excessive.
When possible, focus cleaning efforts before rainy seasons.
• If storm inlets/catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non-
stormwater 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 or participle in public stream clean-
up events.
• Identify failing detention or retention basins and report them to MSD Customer Service
at 314-768-6260.
• Comply with the City's Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. For projects less than
the land disturbance threshold, employ BMPs for erosion and sediment control.
CATCH BASINS
• Prioritize catch basins for routine maintenance on a specified frequency based on
need. Identify areas for additional maintenance to coincide with litter from major public
34
events, and based on work orders generated by customer complaints and/or flooding.
Increase maintenance of inlets that are fully blocked or 75% full of trash or debris when
maintained. Reduce maintenance of catch basins that do not result in waste
generation.
• Consider installation of catch basin inlets in areas where storm sewers will be known to
receive excessive amounts of litter or sediment.
STORM SEWERS
• Prioritize storm sewers for routine maintenance on a specified frequency based on flat
grades, low flow, or review of work orders. Identify areas for additional maintenance
based on work orders generated by customer complaints and/or flooding.
• Utilize care in cleaning storm sewers by flushing, to properly collect waste using
debris/sediment traps.
• Seal/repair joints in structures to prevent root intrusion and soil wash-out.
• Minimize or avoid the use of chemical root/vegetation killers, and use the least toxic
alternatives when necessary.
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 H 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 native 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.

Chapter 10 - 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 stormwater control (retention basins, detention
basins); flood control levees and associated pump stations; stormwater drainage conveyance
capacity improvements; projects involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain
land.
Stormwater management projects in both development and re-development will be assessed
for water quality impact, according to MSD's "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design
Requirements for Stormwater Drainage Facilities", which address the Stormwater
Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM 5. Projects within the Monarch-
Chesterfield Levee District will be based on the Chesterfield Valley Stormwater Master Plan.
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:
Existing projects located within the Plan Area include:
• Monarch Chesterfield Levee System
• Chesterfield Valley Master Stormwater System
• Stormwater retention lakes located at City Hall.
• Lake 2 located at Central Park
• Water Quality BMPs located at the CVAC
C. Responsible Parties:
MSD has general responsibility for stormwater drainage facilities in the Plan Area. St. Louis
County, the City of Chesterfield, and property owners have responsibility for the drainage
facilities not dedicated to, and maintained by MSD. The City of Chesterfield maintains control
over planning and zoning, land use regulations, and flood plain management.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Not applicable. For construction phase of work, land disturbance requirements will apply.
See Chapters 2 and 8 for construction and maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapters 2 and 8 for maintenance.
38
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 stormwater/flood control
structures.
• Inspect existing flood management facilities on a specified frequency to determine
water quality impacts and exploit opportunities for improvement.
• 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".
• 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.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential water
quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent practicable,
utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open stormwater conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent practicable.
• 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 provided 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:
All Public Works Department employees responsible for the planning and design of the flood
management projects identified in Section A will be trained on the BMPs in this chapter. In
addition, employees performing this work will be familiar with MSD's rules and regulations and
engineering design requirements for stormwater drainage facilities.

CHAPTER III
GENERAL GUIDELINE
These general guidelines shall be considered administrative rules and regulations and are to be adhered to as closely as possible by
all departments in the procurement of goods and services.
Section 1. Purchase of American Products
It is the policy of the City to encourage the purchase of products manufactured,assembled,or produced in the United States if the
quality and price are comparable with other goods,in accordance with Missouri State Statutes(RSMo 34.350-34.359).
On purchases in excess of$1,000.00,Department Heads or City Clerk shall give preference to the purchase of American products
over foreign products of comparable quality and price.
Every contract for public works construction or maintenance in excess of$5,000.00 shall contain a provision requesting that the
contractor use American Products in the performance of the contract whenever the quality and pnce are comparable with other
goods.
Seelig))2. Purchase of Missouri Products
It is the policy of the City to encourage the purchase of materials,products,supplies,provisions,and other needed articles produced,
manufactured,compounded,made or grown within the State of Missouri,when they are found in marketable quantities in the State
and are of a quality suited to the purpose intended and can be secured without additional cost over foreign products or products of
other states;provided,however,that quality and fitness of articles shall be considered in purchase or letting contract for articles
herein mentioned,in accordance with Missouri State Statutes(RSMo 71.140).
Section 3. Purchase of Recycled Paper Products
It is the policy of the City to encourage the purchase of recycled paper products when recycled paper can be obtained that is
comparable to the quality presently used by the City and if the price is competitive,except that all copy paper,pin-fed paper and
stationery/envelopes purchased by the City shall be at least 50%recycled paper.
Section 4. Plannint=
Planning for purchases shall be done on both a short-term and long-term basis. Small orders and last minute purchases shall be kept
to a minimum,thereby increasing the ability of each department to purchase its goods and services in larger quantities in order to
obtain the maximum discounts available. Planning will also save on the number of trips required to obtain materials and minimize
the amount of clerical and supervisory time spent on documenting purchases. The purchasing process begins with the preparation of
the annual budget.
Sections Qycrdrais Prohibited
No purchases will be authorized which would overdraft a budgetary account. Department Heads or City Clerk who anticipate a
purchase exceeding a budgetary account shall notify the Director of Finance and Administration to ensure that the necessary steps
are taken to transfer funds as specified in the Budget Ordinances(Budget Ordinances-Appendix K and Appendix L). Department
Heads or City Clerk must make budgetary transfers according to the Budget ordinance using a Budgetary Transfer of Funds Request
form(Appendix M). Approvals of transfers must be obtained as shown below:
A. Transfer up to$2.500.00-Requires approval by the Director of Finance and Administration.
B. Transfer from 52.500,00 to $5.000.00 - Requires approval by Director of Finance and Administration and City
Administrator.
C. Transfer over$5.000.00-Requires City Council approval.
D. Transfers from Contingency or between Departments-Requires City Council approval.
Section 6, Buying Proper Quantity
It is the duty of each department to secure the best quality and service. These items are just as important as price. Quality buying is
the buying of goods or services that will meet but not exceed the requirements for which the goods are intended. Different factors,
such as durability,availability,ease of installation,frequency of repair,or efficiency of operation,may be of primary consideration
depending upon the item purchased. It is the responsibility of each Department Head or City Clerk to become familiar enough with
the available equipment to determine the appropriate quality required to develop specifications.
