Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Storm Water Permit
MO-R040005 to MOLINE ACRES 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 MOLINE ACRES 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 MOLINE ACRES adoption of the work group's model program as
applicable and tailored to specifically meet MOLINE ACRES needs and goals. This program
impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the MOLINE ACRES intent to adhere to the
policies and procedures stated herein in order to prevent pollution, to safeguard the
environment for the health and benefit of all (city) employees, residents and visitors and to
serve as a model for the entire regulated area. Where the municipal operations described in
this manual are contracted, rather than performed by municipal employees, the best
management practices (BMPs) will be imposed to the maximum extent practicable on the
contractor through purchasing or contract mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of
work or job/service specifications. Contractors will be required to obtain all applicable
local/state/federal environmental permits.
B. Policies:
Moline Acres has adopted several policies regarding the purchase of recycled products;
janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity; utilization of integrated pest management
practices; and other pollution prevention policies.
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
Page 3 of 17
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 Moline Acres 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.
MOLINE ACRES 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. New employees will be
trained on applicable procedures within the first three months of employment. 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.

Chapter 2 - General Housekeeping, Operation and Maintenance
A. Description of Activities:
Municipal operations include a variety of activities conducted to maintain City owned
property and facilities. This chapter will cover those activities that are not specifically
covered in the other chapters of this document. This chapter covers custodial and building
maintenance activities, materials management and storage, safe material substitutions,
spill plans, establishment of general O&M procedures, scheduling, record keeping and
housekeeping practices in general.
This chapter also covers general municipal housekeeping issues, which include illegal
dumping, littering, pet wastes, trash storage, and recycling.
B. Locations:
1 . City Hall — 2449 CHAMBERS RD. City Hall houses the Finance and Administration
Department, Courts Department, Police Department, the City Clerk's office, and the
Public Works Department, which includes the Building Maintenance Division. A paved
parking lot is provided for visitors/employees, and all City vehicles, including police
cars, are parked inside an enclosed parking structure. Materials and supplies utilized
in performing all building maintenance, including custodial work, are stored within the
building.
2. Public Works Facility — 2449 CHAMBERS RD. This facility houses the Street
Maintenance Division and the Fleet Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department.
. A paved parking lot is provided for visitors/employees. All equipment associated with
street maintenance activities are either stored within the covered equipment storage
building, or on the paved yard storage area. All materials utilized in performing street
maintenance is either stored within the main building or within the covered bulk storage bin
C. Responsible Parties:
1. City Hall - The City Clerk has authority over City Hall. The building is actively managed
by the Building Maintenance Supervisor.
2. Public Works Facility — The Director of Public Works has authority over the Public
Works Facility. The facility is actively managed by the Superintendent of Maintenance
Operations.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:

Supervisor.
Page 5 of 17
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
1 . City Hall: Standard office waste is generated, along with waste from custodial
operations. All non-recyclable waste is placed in an enclosed Waste Management
Dumpster in parking lot. All paper waste, recyclable materials are recycled.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITIES
• City uses recyclable materials whenever possible
• City uses non-hazardous fluorescent light bulbs.
• 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
mosquito breeding
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT Reduce ;'�►. then Recycle 'lrA '�
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum ._
extent practicable, wastes
generated by municipal operations.
• Provide for the proper disposal of all wastes generated or collected in the course of
municipal operations, in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws.
• Inspect facilities for litter on a regular basis, and clean up as needed.
• Keep trash container lids closed to keep rain out. Do not dispose of liquid waste in the
trash container.
• Ensure that the collection frequency of trash containers is appropriate to avoid
overflows.
• Outdoor material stockpiles at both permanent locations and at job sites should be
covered to protect from rainfall and prevent contamination of storm water run off
. t
o . , ‘,..,,:-
ft
• Material stockpiles which cannot 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.
Page 6 of 17
•
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of storm
water from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover storage
containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain plugs to contain
spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if outdoors, containers should
be kept clean and sealed water-tight.
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and select areas that are away from storm drain inlets and
streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept clean and
organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure employees are familiar with spill
response procedures and the location of spill kits to enable them to stop the spills at the
source and contain the spilled material. With training on hazards from a material safety
data sheet, minor spills can be addressed by employees; however, significant spills will
require evacuation and contacting emergency responders.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling, and health and safety issues.
• 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 sheen, 25 gallons from an underground tank, and 50 gallons from all other
sources.
• Prepare for appropriately handling the cleanup of the spilled material and disposal of
waste. Do not hose down spills to the storm sewer system. Clean up spills with dry
methods, using absorbent to pick up fluids.
• Spill response plans are recommended for all areas of municipal operations. Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans are required to meet regulatory
criteria in 40 CFR 112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one
container or 1,320 gallons on site.
• Establish at all municipal facilities materials management and inventory controls to
include the proper identification of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, and
proper labeling of all containers.
• Regular inspections and inventory of material storage and use areas should be
performed to ensure BMPs are being used.
G. NPDES Permit status:
MDNR general storm water permits are not applicable
H. Training:
Page 7of17
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.

Appendix 1-A2: Excerpts from the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4
Page 14 of 17
•
Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
MOLINE ACRES.
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 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 regulate 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.
Page 15 of 17
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.
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 that 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.
Page 16 of 17
•
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.
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.
Storm Water means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the
issuance of NPDES permit MO-R040005.
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.

CHAPTER 420: STORM WATER POLICY PROTECTION PLAN
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
SECTION 420.010: INTRODUCTION—PURPOSE
A. During the construction process, soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. Eroded soil
endangers water resources by reducing water quality and causing the siltation of aquatic habitat for
fish and other desirable species. Deposits of eroded soil also necessitate maintenance of sewers and
ditches and the dredging of lakes. In addition, clearing and grading during construction cause the
loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat. Construction activities also
utilize materials and generate wastes which, if not properly controlled, can pollute receiving waters.
B. The purpose of this Article is to safeguard persons, protect property and prevent damage to the
environment in the City of Moline Acres.
This Article will also promote the public welfare by guiding, regulating and controlling the design,
construction, use and maintenance of any development or other activity that disturbs or breaks the
topsoil or results in the movement of earth on land in the City of Moline Acres. (Ord. No. 1000
§1, 6-10-08)

ARTICLE II. PROCEDURAL GUIDANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION, LAND DISTURBANCE
ACTIVITIES AND RELATED STORM WATER CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 420.080: PURPOSE
The purpose of this guidance manual is to provide direction to municipal officials and staff for
implementing the provisions of municipal ordinances pertaining to regulation of land disturbance
activities and related storm water controls. This guidance will help promote efficient plan reviews
and processing of permit applications so as to benefit the community and to ensure compliance with
the terms of the City of Moline Acres' State issued MS4 NPDES permit. Certain requirements of
Section 4.2.4 of the MS4 permit, as referenced below, are addressed within this guidance manual.
(Ord. No. 1000 §1, 6-10-08)
SECTION 420.090: GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. The Department of Public Works shall be responsible for enforcing the provisions of the grading,
erosion and sediment control ordinance (Article I of this Chapter). The Department of Public Works
shall review all permit applications submitted pursuant to that ordinance and shall issue permits with
such conditions as deemed appropriate to enable compliance with the grading ordinance and other
related ordinances. The Department of Public Works shall conduct all required inspections of
permitted sites and shall be responsible for initiating enforcement actions when violations are
identified.
B. Persons who intend to disturb land within the City of Moline Acres will be reminded, at the time
of initial contact with municipal officials, of the need to obtain a separate land disturbance permit
from MDNR for any construction or land disturbance activity that will result in disturbance of one
(1) acre or more of land. Persons intending to disturb such acreage must be informed that site work
may not commence until the State permit has been obtained. No municipal permit for sites of one
(1) acre or above will be issued until a land disturbance permit has been issued by MDNR (Ord.
No. 1000 §1, 6-10-08)
286.20 Supp. #1, 10/08
§ 420.100 Storm Water Policy Protection Plan § 420.100
SECTION 420.100: WATER QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
During review of site plans, SWPPP and other documents submitted as part of the permit
application, the Department of Public Works staff shall consider the potential water quality impacts
of the project both during the construction/land disturbance phase and after site development is fully
complete. The department staff should consider the provisions within the Missouri Water Quality
Standards, the Missouri Impaired Waters list (303(d) list), the Federal Endangered Species Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act and proximity to water bodies identified by MDNR as "valuable
resource waters" (see listing below). To the maximum extent practicable under State and local laws,
the department shall include such conditions in permits as are appropriate to prevent or minimize
impacts on water quality. Department staff shall solicit comments or advice, when deemed
appropriate, from MDNR, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the soil and water conservation
district and such other State and national regulatory bodies as may have expertise related to a specific
project or area.
ATTACHMENT TO PROCEDURAL GUIDANCE LISTING OF

§ 420.110 Moline Acres City Code § 420.140
SECTION 420.110: PUBLIC INQUIRIES—COMPLAINTS
The Department of Public Works shall maintain a system for recording and tracking inquiries and
complaints received from the public regarding proposed and active land disturbance sites within the
City of Moline Acres. The following information shall be logged, on a standard form, for each
inquiry/complaint: date; name, address and telephone number of the inquiring/complaining party;
nature of inquiry/complaint, including all pertinent information related thereto; and follow-up action.
If an inspection is performed, all information regarding the date and time, inspector's name, findings
and any mitigation or enforcement actions initiated shall be recorded. All inquiries or complaints
must be logged. However, it is up to the sole discretion of the Department of Public Works, with
such consultation with other departments or agencies as may be deemed appropriate, as to whether
any follow-up action is deemed appropriate. If no follow-up action is deemed necessary, a short
explanation shall be recorded on the standard inquiry form. (Ord. No. 1000 §1, 6-10-08)
SECTION 420.120: INSPECTIONS—REPORTS
The Department of Public Works shall inspect each permitted site at the frequency specified in
Article I of this Chapter and at such other times as necessary to follow up on public
inquiries/complaints or to follow up on previously identified deficiencies. The results of all
inspections shall be recorded in written reports and maintained in the project file. Inspections shall
be carried out in such a way as to determine whether the site operator is complying with all
provisions of the City of Moline Acres permit. (Ord. No. 1000 §1, 6-10-08)
SECTION 420.130: TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
A. Individual Lot Or Lots. The City of Moline Acres ordinances require a permit, as well as controls,
for sediment, erosion and other construction site pollutants for disturbed areas of land in excess of
one (1) acre disturbed as part of a common plan or sale. That language means the lot(s), when sold
to an entity for construction (unless sold to an individual for purposes of building their own private
residence), are also subject to ordinance requirements because they are part of the common sale.
A current permittee who intends to transfer ownership of a lot or parcel of the overall permitted area
is still responsible for the terms of the City of Moline Acres permit and the SWPPP and erosion
control on that site unless the new owner applies for and receives a separate permit for land
disturbance activities. If the current permittee is to retain the permit and responsibility for control
of sediment and other pollutants at the site, then the owner should obtain a copy of an individual lot
certification (ILC) from the lot owner(s). The ILC should be properly completed and signed and
retained with the SWPPP.
B. Entire Tract. If the entire tract is sold to a single entity, then the City of Black Jack permit shall
be terminated and the new owner shall submit an application for a new permit immediately. (Ord.
No. 1000 §1, 6-10-08)
SECTION 420.140: REFERENCE SOURCES
The staff will provide every permit applicant with the following list of reference and guidance
documents which may be employed in development of the SWPPP. For activities requiring State
land disturbance permits, the first two (2) documents listed below are considered mandatory
references for all applicants.
