Note From The Authors
This document is an 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 implement the program 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.

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 Ellisville 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 Ellisville 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 Ellisville's adoption of the work group's model program
as applicable and tailored to specifically meet the City of Ellisville's needs and goals. This
program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Ellisville'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 City of Ellisville 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
#2770) on May 17, 2006 and updated by Public Works staff in December, 2016.
B. Policies:
Included in this document are 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.
Page 4 of 64Rev.5 04 06
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 10. A statement of non-applicability is
contained in those chapters where the City of Ellisville 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 Ellisville will train 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 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements
with all employees affected. New employees will be trained on applicable procedures within
the first six months 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 and contractors must be maintained in file.

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
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
Page 12 of 64Rev.5,o4 o6
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/aqquides/pests/ipm1009.htm (See Chapter 7 for
additional BMPs.)
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Develop a policy to purchase Reduce then Recycle 'Cif,
recycled products or products with
high post-consumer waste content
whenever practical. Many resources are available from the EPA WasteWise Helpline:
800 EPA-WISE. Website: http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-
hw/reduce/wstewise/wrr/buyq&a.htm
(See Appendix 2-F1 for waste reduction and recycling policy.)
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practical, wastes generated by municipal
operations. (See the policy in Appendix 2-F1.)
• Develop policy to purchase environmentally preferred products whenever practical. For
a "Database of Environmental Information for Products and Services," see EPA
website: http://yosemitel.epa.qov/oppt/eppstand2.nsf/
(See Appendix 2-F2 for a sample green procurement policy or
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/green-procurement-e.html).
• Provide for the proper disposal of all waste 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 Vitt
can be captured.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, •
hazardous and toxic materials, and all waste -
should be properly labeled to ensure I i
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
Page 13 of 64Rev.5/(woo
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 +r
from storm drain inlets and streams to minimize the
impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept
clean and organized.
• :w
Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure _ ,.. ._,� �
employees are familiar with spill response t �' Kv ' , •.
procedures and the location of spill kits to enable MINIM '
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.
• 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 _ 1 _
storage and use areas should be performed to
ensure BMPs are being used.

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 Ellisville facilities are performed indoors.
• 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.
Page 18 of 64Re‘ 04,06
• 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 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. 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. Storm drain plugs or covers are recommended to prevent the flow of spilled
material from entering the storm drain.
• 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.
Page 19 of 64R,_5 04 06
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:
Vehicle maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under
the Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES storm water
(Phase I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit R80C. As stated above, all of
Ellisville vehicle repairs and maintenance are performed 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, storekeepers, 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. Implement meetings to include environmental training
and HAZMAT training.

Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Ellisville will wash vehicles and equipment at wash bay facilities designed
according to this chapter. At City of Ellisville facilities where no wash bay exists, all vehicles
and equipment will be taken to commercial facilities when washing is required.
B. Locations:
The City of Ellisville wash bay facilities are located at the Public Works Facility at 553 Old
State Road.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Public Works Superintendent responsible for pool vehicles, Larry Kirn, is responsible for
ensuring that vehicles are taken off-site to approved commercial facilities for washing, or that
washing on City of Ellisville property is done in the location(s) specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is 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)
• When not utilizing city wash bay facilities, all vehicles are taken to commercial facilities
when washing is needed.
• Commercial facilities used are verified to be in compliance with MSD sewer discharge
requirements. Facilities must discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer system, and
wash bays must be covered to prevent storm water in the sanitary system.
(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
Page 21 of 64Rev.;o4 oo
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.
• Mobile wash services must collect wash water for recycling or proper disposal into a
sanitary sewer.
• Job-site mud removal is performed without detergent in a contained, permeable (gravel)
area with wash water infiltrating into soil or gravel.
G. Training:
Employees responsible for operating fleet vehicles and equipment will be made aware of
BMPs regarding washing, and the proper, designated locations for washing.
Page 22 of 64Rev.5/04/06
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:
The Public Works Facility 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 Director of Public Works and the Public Works Superintendent are the responsible parties
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. 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". Routinely stocked
materials are identified in the following table.
Material Maximum Quantity Kept Onsite Storage Location
Lumber 20 Linear Feet Public Works Facility
Dirt 5 Tons Yard
Rock 1 Ton Yard
Latex Paint 30 Gallons Public Works Facility
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
Page 23 of 64Rev.5/04/06
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 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:
Waste Storage Requirements Method Of Disposal Contractor

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:
Page 24 of 64Rev.5/04i06
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 uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer
and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. 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
• In accordance with city purchasing policies as stated in Chapter 1 and 2, 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 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 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, 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.
Page 25 of 64Rev.5/04/06
• 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 storm water is sent to the storm sewer system.
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. 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 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:
Most highway agencies and municipalities are 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.
Many agencies flush bridge decks and parking structures in the spring to remove de-icing
chemicals and to clean the drainage structures. Also, flushing operations are performed on
sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates after flooding, creating hazardous
conditions.
Bridge decks and parking structures are normally sealed on a five-to-seven year cycle to
protect the concrete and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or cold
patching material.
Highway agencies plow 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.
Most highway agencies are required 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
all municipalities within the boundaries of Saint Louis County.
The maintenance responsibilities of the City of Ellisville include snow plowing, street
sweeping, crack sealing, mudjacking, emergency debris removal (i.e. fallen tree), street
striping, pothole repair, slab replacement and asphalt overlay. These City of Ellisville
responsibilities include all city accepted public roads and bridges and public parking lots.

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.
• 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 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 St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion
and sediment control.
Page 29 of 64Rev.5/04/06
• 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.
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
• 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 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 Ellisville has 8 parks totaling nearly 232 acres of land, and 5 trails for biking, hiking
and jogging.
The City of Ellisville has responsibility for the development and maintenance of 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 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.

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 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 ;•. r
creek crossings, and place them only after
consideration of the stream features to enable , ' ''~ - ' . `fr
natural flow. moor •
• Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to r s _
reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer and � ' ` p
pesticide. Select plants appropriate for site `� r '
conditions for sun, moisture, and soil type. .
• Utilize low impact development to minimize
impervious 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.
The use of swales instead of curbs along roads and parking lots is beneficial to filter
pollutants and reduce the volume and rate of storm water flow. 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
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.
• 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 pickup and properly dispose of pet waste in parks. Provide pet
waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks to notify visitors of the requirement.
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. " r`
• Apply 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 t W

instructions. Apply slow release fertilizers such as
methylene urea, IDBU or resin coated fertilizer. When ;.., o ,
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.
• 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
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
• 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/ipm 1 009.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
Page 34 of 64xeV.5/04/06
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 separate storm system within the city limits of Ellisville is maintained by the MSD. All
structures are identified on MSD facility base maps. The inlets on the storm system are not
constructed with traps to capture oil, grease or debris.
C. Responsible Parties:
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
Director of Operations, Telephone: (314) 768-6200
Municipality
Public Works Department, Director, Telephone: (636) 227-8507 ext. 3022
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The City of Ellisville Public Works Department has a front end loader for maintenance in
channels. MSD and contractors are used for clearing brush blockages.
Page 36 of 64Rev.5/04/06
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 storm water. Note in the work order the volume of waste collected and
disposed of. Investigate into 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-
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.
Page 37 of 64Rev.s/o4/oo
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, 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 events, and based on work orders b t
generated by customer complaints and/or flooding.
Increase maintenance of inlets that are fully blocked
or 75% full of trash or debris when maintained. -} I.�•
! r
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 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 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.
Page 38 of 64Rev.5/04/06
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.

Leaves/Limbs 200cy Works City loader/tub weekly
Facility grinder
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
No dumping or disposal of trash is allowed on the site.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• Yard waste composting operations and mulch piles should be located away from storm
water drainage systems, and must not be located within 100 feet of a natural creek or
Page 40 of 64Rev.5/04/06
man-made storm water drainage channel, 300 feet from a water well or 1,000 feet from a
sinkhole, under MDNR permit G97.
• Compost/mulch is confined by an impervious base with curbing or otherwise stored to
prevent leachate and runoff from contaminating storm water, and to prevent storm water
drainage running into the pile.
• Do not discharge leachate to storm water. As necessary to manage leachate, design a
system to collect and properly treat leachate or incorporate into the early stages of the
composting process.
• Materials that will pollute storm water are collected under a roofed structure or in an
enclosed dumpster.
• The public is notified by signage at the facility that lists materials accepted at the facility
and those unauthorized items that are not acceptable.
• The Police Department routinely patrols the facility to prevent unauthorized dumping.
• No fluids are drained into any storm water system.
• Every effort is made to ensure the facility is clean and that no unauthorized or
contaminated materials are deposited at the facility.
• Materials easily moved by wind must be stored in a manner to prevent the material from
becoming airborne and scattered.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Facilities involved in the recycling or composting of materials are considered "municipal
industrial" facilities under Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate
NPDES Storm Water (Phase I) permitting requirements, unless they are collection points only
and completely protected from storm water (run-on and run-off). Potentially applicable MDNR
NPDES General Permits include: R8OH for Recycling facilities and G97 for Yard Waste
Compost sites.
H. Training:
All City employees attending to the operation or using the leaf/limb storage location will
undergo initial City-provided training upon employment. All employees are regularly instructed
on the use of equipment and handling of problem situations.

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 storm water control (retention basins, detention
basins); flood control levees and associated pump stations; storm water drainage conveyance
capacity improvements; projects involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain
land.
Storm water 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 Storm Water
Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM 5. Projects within designated levee
districts, such as Monarch-Chesterfield, Earth City and Riverport will be based on the Storm
Water Master Plan for these districts. 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: NONE
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.
Page 42 of 64Rev.5/04/06
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.
• 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.
• 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 seek use of 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. Training:
Employees and contractors 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 storm water drainage facilities.

Appendix 2-Fl : Recycling Policy
The City of Ellisville
Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement
1. Policy
The City of Ellisville is committed to good stewardship of the environment. A key element of
that stewardship is the reduction of the amount of solid waste going from the city into landfills.
Solid waste landfills have negative long-range environmental impacts, drain community
resources, and have limited capacity to accept the large quantities of waste generated by our
society today. The City of Ellisville will make every effort to reduce the solid waste generated
at our facilities. Four methods will be used to implement this policy: source reduction, reuse of
materials, recycling, and purchase of recycled materials. Every City department and individual
employee has a personal responsibility for implementing this policy.
2. Methods to Achieve Solid Waste Reduction
A. Source Reduction: All members of the City staff are responsible for implementing
operational practices that prevent waste from being produced. Examples include printing
reports and documents on both sides of the paper; printing appropriate numbers of
documents; using email rather than printed correspondence; and using products that are
reusable, refillable, repairable, non-toxic, recyclable. Products with reusable, returnable
packaging or items requiring the least possible packaging should be purchased when
practical. Every effort should be made to prevent excess or unneeded materials from being
purchased.
B. Reuse of Materials: All employees of the City are responsible for reusing products
whenever possible. An example would be to use dishes, glasses, and reusable flatware rather
than disposable paper and plastic ware.
C. Recycling: All City employees are responsible for placing recyclable materials in recycling
containers. City Recycling includes aluminum cans, steel cans, cardboard, glass bottles and
jars, soft back books, newspapers, phone books, catalogs and magazines, brown paper bags,
news blend, office blend, plastic bottles (#1 PET, #2 HDPE, #3 PVC, #4 LDPE, #5 PP and #7
plastic resin grocery), and additional items as implemented. Facilities Management
Recycling includes construction/demolition debris, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters,
paint, pallets, refrigerants, scrap metal, solvents, tires, yard waste, and additional items as
implemented.
D. Purchase of Recycled Content Material: All City departments are responsible for making
efforts to purchase and use products manufactured from or containing recycled materials.
Page 51 of 64Rev.5,04/06
3. Procedures
The Director of Public Works will be responsible for implementing this Policy by:
A. Designating departments and employees responsible for the task of developing and
implementing a waste reduction and recycling program in accordance with this Policy.
B. Designating personnel in the Purchasing Department to ensure recycled content products
are purchased when feasible and that criteria for recycled content products are included in the
purchasing bid process.
C. Designating personnel in Facilities Management to ensure that all new construction
includes designated areas for recycling and solid waste collection and removal.
D. Designating personnel to promote recycling and waste reduction in employee events and
materials.
E. Encouraging all contractors to adhere to City recycling policies and procedures.
F. Taking other appropriate action as he/she deems necessary to implement this Policy.
Page 52 of 64Rev.5/04/06
Appendix 2-F2: Green Procurement Policy
The City of Ellisville Green Procurement Policy
1. Policy Objective
The objective of this policy is to provide direction for greening City of Ellisville's procurement.
2. Policy Statement
As set out in this Policy, priority in procurement will be given to green products and services,
including construction.
3. Definitions
Green procurement is the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or reduced
effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or
services that serve the same purpose. This comparison may consider raw material
acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, operation, maintenance,
disposal and re-use of the product or service. Green procurement encompasses the concept
of the procurement of goods and services that provide for basic human needs and bring a
better quality of life, while minimizing the use of non-renewable natural resources and toxic
materials and the emission of wastes and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
A green product is one that is less harmful than the alternative, having characteristics
including, but not limited to, the following:
• Recyclable - local facilities exist that are capable of recycling the product at the end of
its useful life.
• Biodegradable - will not take a long time to decompose in landfill.
• Contain recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Produce fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
• Produce the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Make efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Durable - have a long economically useful life and/or can be economically repaired or
upgraded.
Sustainable (green) service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green operational
policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
Page 53 of 64Rev.5/04/06
•
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.
4. Policy Procedures
Where available and cost effective, green products and services, including construction, that
are of equal or better performance and quality, will be considered. In determining cost
effectiveness, a department should give consideration to the costs and benefits that accrue, in
the shorter and longer term, to the City of Ellisville.
For all bid solicitations (e.g. requests for proposal, requests for quote, and requests for
standing), environmental factors or impact will be considered when requirements are defined.
In addition, bid solicitations will include instructions asking bidders to identify any
environmental benefits over the life cycle of their products and/or services.
Green procurement principles will be applied to construction projects beginning with the
design stage.
Departments will determine the contract dollar value (hereafter referred to as the threshold)
above which a formal record is kept on file showing that environmental criteria were
considered when requirements were defined. In determining their threshold, departments
may wish to consider contracting volumes, training requirements and budgetary constraints.
For all procurement, consideration will be given to environmental factors or impact. For
requirements:
A. Valued in excess of a threshold, a formal record of the evaluation will be kept on file. In
the case where a green purchase was made, the record will list the environmental criteria
included in the bid solicitation. In the case where a green product or service was not
acquired, the reasons for not selecting an environmentally preferable product or service will be
documented. See Documentation Form attached.
B. Valued at or below the threshold, a formal record of the evaluation is not required.
Each department will be responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient training
about the environment and green procurement to carry out the directives in this policy.
5. Guidelines
5.1 The life cycle approach and the environment
Applying the four R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) at each phase of the material
management life cycle helps protect the environment and reduce costs.
5.1.1 Planning
During the planning process, managers will assess the need for a given purchase and,
whenever possible,
Page 54 of 64Rev.sro4roo
• Reduce consumption.
• Consider acquiring second-hand or used material.
• Consider products that are less damaging to the environment, such as those made with
resource-saving materials or processes.
• Consider the environmental cost of purchases during each phase of the life cycle.
5.1.2 Acquisition
As much as practical, products selected should:
• Be reusable and contain reusable parts.
• Be recyclable and contain recycled materials (e.g. recycled paper, reconditioned laser
printer cartridges).
• Include second-hand or used material.
• Use resources and energy efficiently.
• Have a long service life or be economical to repair.
• Contain minimal packaging, or use returnable or reusable shipping containers.
• Be non-toxic and non-polluting.
5.1.3 Maintenance and Operations
A. Ensure that products are properly maintained and used. This will extend the service life of
a product. When economically feasible, equipment should be repaired, refinished and reused.
B. Hazardous material must be shipped, stored and handled in accordance with applicable
federal and provincial law, and regulations.
5.1 .4 Disposal
Consider alternatives to disposing of material, such as reusing, recycling or recovering it. Try
to minimize the amount of waste generated.
5.2 Combine environmental actions with fiscal responsibility
A. Government interest in economy of operations is fully compatible with environmental
interests. Many sound environmental practices have resulted in savings.
B. Most environmental actions can be phased in gradually without additional cost. When
these actions may entail additional costs for the government, managers should accommodate
them within existing budgets.
C. Government should lead by example. In light of the volume of government procurement,
the government can play a significant role in promoting the development and marketing of
green products and services. As demand for these products and services increase their
prices will drop and become more affordable to all consumers.

Appendix 5-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.
Page 57 of 64Rev.5/04/oo
p
• 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.
• 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.

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the The
City of Ellisville.
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.
Green Procurement - the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose.
Green Product — a product that is less harmful than the next best alternative, having
characteristics such as:
• Being recyclable.
• Being biodegradable.
• Containing recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Having minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Being reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Having minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
Page 59 of 64Rev.5/04/06
w
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Making efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Being durable or having a long economically useful life and/or can be economically
repaired or upgraded.
Green Space - planned and preserved open land; an interconnected system of open land,
determined to have cultural, ecological, developmental, agricultural, and/or recreational value.
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
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.
Page 60 of 64Rev.5/14 06
V
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
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.
Page 61 of 64Ro..5 04 of,
w •
Recycling Facility means any co-permittee-owned or operated facility which collects, for
recycling, common household recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, etc. or
which collects and processes yard wastes for use as mulch or compost.
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 ll Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the
issuance of NPDES permit MO-R040005.
Sustainable (green) Service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green
operational policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
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
quality, harm aquatic life and other wildlife, reduce aesthetic and recreational values and
make the waters unsafe for human use.

PERMITTING
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity Identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for Its
stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State Identified in Section B under EPA's Stormwater Multi Sector General Permit
due to the existence of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to
prevent exposure to rain,snow,snowmelt,and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include,but are not limited to,material handling equipment
or activities,industrial machinery,raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products,or waste products. Material handling activities
include the storage,loading and unloading,transportation,or conveyance of any raw material,intermediate product,final product or waste product.
A storm resistant shelter is not required for the following Industrial materials and activities: •
- drums,barreis,tanks,and similar containers that are tightly sealed,provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak."Sealed"
means banded or otherwise secured and without operational taps or valves:
- adequately maintained vehicles used In material handling;and
- final products,other than products that would be mobilized In stormwater discharges(e.g„rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In addition, the exclusion from NPDES
permitting Is available on a facility-wide basis only, not for Individual outfalls. If any Industrial activities or materials are or will be exposed to
precipitation,the facility Is not eligible for the no exposure exclusion.
By signing and submitting this No Exposure Certification form,the entity In Section A is certifying that a condition of no exposure exists at Its facility
or site,and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
