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 Hazelwood 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 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 Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood's adoption of the work group's model
program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet Hazelwood's needs and goals. This
program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Hazelwood'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 Hazelwood employees, residents and visitors
and to serve as a model for the entire regulated area.
B. Policies:
The City of Hazelwood encourages but has no policies regarding the purchase of recycled
products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity; utilization of integrated pest
management practices; and other pollution prevention.
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
Page 3 of 58
contained in those chapters where the City of Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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 NPDES permit requirements with all employees affected. Contractors working for
the municipality and implementing BMPs for municipal work, as described in Section A., must
train their employees on applicable BMPs before work begins. 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 seven (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
Page 16 of 58
storm water drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
http://ipm.missouri.edu/ipmresources.htm (See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
• Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated Pest Management Program for
weed control. With turf grass, prevention of weed infestation begins with practices to
promote healthy grass through proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing,
aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU Extension Publication IPM1009:
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/aqquides/pests/ipm1009.htm (See Chapter 7 for
additional BMPs.)
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• d euce I►• then Recycle
Purchase recycled products or R
products with high post-consumer z >'
waste content when 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
• Collect and recycle, when practicable, wastes generated by municipal operations.
• Purchase environmentally preferred products when practical. For a "Database of
Environmental Information for Products and Services," see EPA website:
http://yosemitel .epa.gov/oppt/eppstand2.nsf/
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/green-procurement-e.html).
• Provide for the proper disposal of all wastes generated or collected in the course of
municipal operations, in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws.
• Inspect facilities for litter on a regular basis, and clean up as needed.
• Keep trash container lids closed to keep rain out. Do not dispose of liquid waste in the
trash container.
• Ensure that the collection frequency of trash containers is appropriate to avoid
overflows.
• Outdoor material stockpiles at both permanent locations and at job sites should be
covered to protect from rainfall and prevent contamination of storm water runoff.
• Material stockpiles which can not feasibly be covered should be surrounded by a berm
or otherwise contained so that storm water runoff can be captured.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be properly labeled to ensure appropriate handling and disposal.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of
storm water from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover
storage containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain plugs
to contain spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if outdoors,
containers should be kept clean and sealed water-tight.
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and select areas that are away from storm drain inlets
and streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept clean and
organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure employees are familiar with spill
response procedures. With training on hazards from a material safety data sheet, minor
Page 17 of 58
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 storage and use areas should be
performed to ensure BMPs are being used.
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers and
water-tightness for residential, commercial and industrial areas.
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard waste
disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties.
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and equestrian and
animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and other animals.
• Provide pet waste signs in parks and other public areas frequented by pet walkers to
promote the proper disposal of pet waste and notify the public of ordinance
requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately-sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and disposal.
• Educate citizens on trash and pet waste issues to promote compliance with ordinances
using available methods such as resident newsletters, brochures, internet sites, storm
drain marking projects, etc.
• Promote and assist in neighborhood and stream clean-up activities.
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.
Page 18 of 58
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed
routinely.
• 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:
Applicable MDNR general storm water permits must be obtained if the City of Hazelwood engages in
the following activities described by the following categories:
Page 19of58
Swimming pools — Discharges of filter backwash and pool drainage from swimming pools and
lined ponds.
Vehicle Maintenance
If the above categories describe (city) operations, but the activities and materials stored or
handled are not exposed to storm water, a "No Exposure Certification" must be submitted in
lieu of obtaining a permit. Further descriptions and a copy of the general permits are available
at: www.dnr.mo.qov/wpscd/wpcp/permits/wpcpermits-qeneral.htm
The discharge of process waste water to a storm water inlet from any City of Hazelwood
facility requires an NPDES Operating Permit from MDNR's Water Pollution Control Program.
All permit conditions and limitations must be complied with.
H. Training:
All employees involved in maintenance operations, construction, purchasing, facility or site
design, or building or facility management will be trained on this chapter, including the
following Departments and work units:
• Vehicle maintenance department — mechanics, storekeepers and
management.
• Public works department — equipment operators, laborers, and
management.
In addition to training on the housekeeping BMPs and proper waste management, employees will be
provided general awareness of NPDES discharge requirements.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
• Minimize fluid leaks and equipment failures. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently
for leaks, collecting leaks with pans or absorbent, and repairing leaks.
• Perform vehicle maintenance and repairs 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 when
possible.
• Flammable liquids are kept in a vented fire-rated cabinet.
• All supply material and waste containers are marked clearly and properly to identify the
contents.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling and health and safety.
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent contact with
rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and are free of standing liquid, and stored
containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other 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.
Page 23 of 58
• Floors are clean of oil and grease.
• Immediately clean up all spills of chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods
(absorbents), minimizing the use of water whenever possible.
• Vehicle operators should be instructed to remain with the vehicle during fueling, and
not to top-off the fuel tank to avoid overflows and spills.
• For painting or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp enclosure to contain and capture
material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sand blast waste in the trash for non-
lead based paint, or evaluate lead based paint for hazardous waste disposal.
• Keep the facility and surrounding area clear of litter.
SPILL PREVENTION
• Spill control plans should be in place with procedures for proper spill response to
minimize environmental impacts. SPCC plans must meet regulatory criteria in 40 CFR
112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one container or 1 ,320
gallons on site.
• Procedures for loading, unloading and transfer operations should be developed to
prevent overfilling and spills.
• In areas where spills could occur, such as fueling and loading areas, keep spill kits with
absorbent materials nearby and display signage indicating the location of those spill
kits. Storm drain plugs or covers are recommended to prevent the flow of spilled
material from entering the storm drain.
• For fueling areas, post signs that state "no topping off".
• Regularly inspect all tanks and containers to ensure physical integrity.
• Maintain equipment to ensure the proper operation of automatic shutoff devices on
pumps and, overfill protection and spill buckets on tanks.
• Emergency phone numbers are clearly posted in the shop and near material storage
areas.
FACILITY
• All floors in work areas are sloped to floor drains that are connected to an MSD-
approved sediment /oil trap prior to discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Trap is
pumped out quarterly, or as needed.
• A site-plumbing schematic showing all drains, traps, and shut offs for utilities should be
posted in shop. Employees should be made aware of sanitary and storm sewers to
ensure all wastewater is discharged to the sanitary sewer.
• Storm drains/inlets can be labeled to help protect from improper usage.
• All above ground storage tanks have secondary containment in accordance with SPCC
requirements. 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.
Page 24 of 58
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
City of Hazelwood vehicle repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors or are otherwise
done without exposure to storm water. Therefore, a NPDES Storm Water permit is not
required and a no-exposure certification has been filed with the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources.
H. Training:
Training on storm water BMPs will be provided to mechanics, storekeepers, material handlers,
laborers, equipment operators, janitors, and management staff working at facilities identified in
Section B. Employees will be provided training pertaining to general housekeeping and will be
sent to raining session put on by MSD or someone else.
Page 25 of 58
Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
City of Hazelwood will wash vehicles and equipment at wash bay facilities designed according to this
chapter. At Hazelwood's 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 Hazelwood wash bay facilities are located at the following locations:
1) Maintenance Building, 115 Ford Lane
2) Firehouse #2, 6800 Howdershell Road 60' x 14' approved sediment/oil trap drain
C. Responsible Parties:
The Public Works Superintendent is responsible for pool vehicles and is responsible for
ensuring that vehicles are taken off-site to approved commercial facilities for washing, or that
washing on City of Hazelwood property is done in the locations specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is V-12A Deluxe Car Shampoo
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):
• Take vehicles to commercial facilities when practical.
• 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 drained to prevent storm water runoff from discharging to the
sanitary system. 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.
• Efforts will be made to contain job site mud on job site.

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 contain a shop and material storage areas for facility repair,
remodeling and construction; and city employees are involved in these activities. Repair,
remodeling, construction and capital improvements are periodically performed on all types of
municipal facilities.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Public Works Superintendent will ensure that repairs, remodeling and construction will be
preformed without subjecting the storm water system to any new contaminant streams.
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 100 Linear Feet Warehouse
Drywall 500 Square Feet Warehouse

Rock 50 Tons Yard
Oil-Based Paint 10 Gallons Flammable Cabinet
Latex Paint 20 Gallons Warehouse
Page 28 of 58
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 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:

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. Do not clean up concrete
equipment or paint brushes and allow the washout into the street, storm drains, drainage
ditches, or streams.
Page 29of58
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:
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.
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.
• Do not 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.
Page 30 of 58
• 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.
• 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 one (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. All City of Hazelwood streets
will be sweep as needed basis, snow and ice removal, patching and sealing and will be the
responsibility of Public Works Department.

C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking lots
include:
Director of Public Works - (314) 513-5030
Public Works Superintendent— (314) 513-5100
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. Agencies working within
the constraints of their budget weigh fiscal responsibility against the immediate and long-
range needs for such materials, and adjust their purchasing habits accordingly.

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.
Page 34 of 58
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device
and fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E
above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm
drain untreated.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not Applicable
H. Training:
Employees involved in Street and Highway maintenance and repair will be trained on the
BMPs in this chapter.

Chapter 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Hazelwood has 16 parks totaling nearly 183 acres of park land that provide spaces
for active and passive recreational activities to the residents of Hazelwood and their guests.
The City of Hazelwood has responsibility for the development and maintenance of recreational
areas and green space within the city, including neighborhood and regional parks, bike and
walking paths, trees, public facility landscaping and public street right-of-way landscaping.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of storm water
by providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release in to
streams, storing, filtering and slowing storm water runoff down and thus preventing or
reducing flash flooding downstream. Local governments have an opportunity to use their park
lands to benefit the environment and to demonstrate best practices for storm water
management.
Maintenance activities include mowing of grassy areas, pruning trees, removing fallen limbs,
mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance (repairing asphalt bike path and
walking trails), routine cleaning of park restrooms, and parking lot maintenance.
B. Locations:
Green spaces are interlaced throughout the community and are maintained by the Parks
Division.

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 creek crossings, and place them only after
consideration of the stream features to enable natural flow.
Page 37 of 58
• 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 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. 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 pickup and properly dispose of pet waste in parks. Provide 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.
• 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 instructions. Apply slow
release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU or resin coated fertilizer.
Page 38 of 58
• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and destroying the root zone, employ
BMPs for erosion and sediment control. For details concerning these BMPs, see the
SWPPP link on the following web page: www.stlouisco.com/plan/land disturbance.html
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches, creeks, rivers, lakes,
ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR 401 water
quality certification. Examples of activities that require a permit include: placing culverts in
creeks, constructing outfalls, and stream restoration activities. See Appendix 5-F1 for a
summary of permit requirements.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize the use of pesticides.
Pesticide application should be timed carefully and combined with other pest management
practices. Pests and their development stage should be identified accurately and pesticide
applications made only when necessary, using the least amount needed and the least
toxic product for adequate pest control.
• 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/aqguides/pests/ipm1009.htm
PESTICIDE/HERBICIDE USE
• When pesticide or herbicide use is required, select pesticides carefully, avoiding highly
water soluble and very environmentally stable products to minimize potential for leaching
from soils into waterways. Environmentally friendly products readily degrade in the
environment and/or bind to soil particles.
• Consider the vulnerability of the area in which pesticides are applied, avoiding areas with
streams, ponds, sinkholes or wells. Sinkholes are an environmentally sensitive area
because they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little natural soil
filtering.
• Apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage, and use site
specific rather than wholesale application.
Page 39 of 58
• 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 Hazelwood separate storm system includes about 500 feet of storm sewers
located specifically at Freeland Drive and several miles of open natural drainage ditches and
channels. All structures are identified on USGS base maps. The number of catch basins on
the separate storm system is approximately 4 or 5. Generally, 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
Municipality
Director of Public Works, Telephone: (314) 513-5030
D. 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.

E. 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.
• 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
Page 42 of 58
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 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.
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 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 MOM 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:
There are no existing projects located within the Plan Area:
C. Responsible Parties:
All co-permittees that plan, design or install flood management projects are subject to this
chapter. MSD has general responsibility for storm water drainage facilities in the Plan Area.
St. Louis County, municipalities, and property owners have responsibility for the drainage
facilities not dedicated to, and maintained by MSD. St. Louis County and municipalities
maintain control over planning and zoning, land use regulations, and flood plain management
through ordinances.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Not applicable. For construction phase of work, land disturbance requirements will apply.
See Chapter 2 and 8 for construction and maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapter 2 and 8 for maintenance.
Page 46 of 58
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.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent practicable,
utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open storm water conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent practicable to
preserve natural conditions and habitat.
• Channel improvement projects are to use natural approaches rather than concrete,
riprap or other "hard" techniques to the maximum extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to
minimize scour and erosion.
• Trash racks are 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

Inspection is required under Section 4.1.10 of the Phase II Storm Water MS4 permit, which states "The permittee shall inspect any
structures that function to prevent pollution of storm water or to remove pollutants from storm water and of the facility in general to
ensure that all BMPs are continually implemented and effective,and a monitoring schedule shall be specified in the SWMP document."
Furthermore, Section 4.2.6.1.2 of the permit requires that the permittee's operation and maintenance program address "Maintenance
BMPs, maintenance schedules, and long-term inspection procedures for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants to the
permittee's regulated small MS4." A comprehensive inspection utilizing this checklist is to be performed on an annual basis by a
qualified person. Additionally, it is recommended that condensed, regular inspections be conducted by site staff on a more frequent
basis.
Inspection must cover entire facility and operations to identify any conditions or operations that could result in pollutants being
introduced to storm water flows into the MSD separate storm sewer system. Review all sources listed in the permittee's O&M program
document according to the listed BMPs to ensure implementation. Discuss findings with staff and communicate to employees. If"Yes"
checked, BMP is implemented. If"No"checked,comment to describe finding and recommendation.

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the City of
Hazelwood.
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.
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
Page 55 of 58
• 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 56 of 58
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 57 of 58
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
