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 Normandy and 60 other co-permittees in St. Louis
County, effective March 10, 2003. The area served by the 61 co-permittees is
collectively known as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4. One of the minimum
control measures in the permit that must be addressed by the co-permittees includes
pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations. Specifically,
section 4.2.6.1.1 of the permit (Appendix 1-A2) requires each co-permittee to "develop
and implement an operation and maintenance program that includes a training
component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from
municipal operations."
A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4
was developed by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee in the Fall of 2002 and submitted to MDNR as part of the application for the
Phase II permit. As a co-permittee under the state permit the City of Normandy 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 Normandy adoption of the work group's model
program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet City of Normandy needs and
goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of
Normandy'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
Normandy employees, residents and visitors and to serve as a model for the entire
regulated area. Where the municipal operations described in this manual are
contracted, rather than performed by municipal employees, the best management
practices (BMPs) will be imposed to the maximum extent practicable on the contractor
through purchasing or contract mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of work or
job/service specifications. Contractors will be required to obtain all applicable
local/state/federal environmental permits. This program has been adopted by
Ordinance # on (June 27, 2012), (See appendix 1-A4).
B. Policies:
The City of Normandy has adopted a policy regarding the purchase of recycled
products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity; utilization of integrated
pest management practices; and other pollution prevention policies. Copies of policies
are contained in Appendix 1-B1.

a
C. Organization of Manual:
The SWMP prepared for St. Louis County by the Planning Committee contains a
detailed listing of BMP elements that were to be considered when developing a model
operation and maintenance program for the 61 co-permittees. The Planning Committee
placed these elements into nine major categories of municipal operations/activities.
Based on its size and the nature of its municipal services each co-permittee may have
activities in only some or in all nine categories. For consistency within the Plan area,
each of the nine categories is addressed in the following Chapters 2 through 10. A
statement of non-applicability is contained in those chapters where the City of
Normandy is not engaged in the subject activity.
D. Administration:
THIS SECTION SHOULD IDENTIFY THE CO-PERMITTEE'S PROCEDURES AND THE STAFF
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING:
• THE PROGRAM IS KEPT UP-TO-DATE
• ALL AFFECTED EMPLOYEES ARE PROVIDED WITH PROGRAM ORIENTATION TRAINING
• RETRAINING AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEES WHO FAIL TO FOLLOW THE
SPECIFIED PROCEDURES
• REPORTING IMPLEMENTATION STATUS TO THE PLAN AREA COORDINATING AUTHORITY
(MSD)
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 Normandy 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.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
(THE FOLLOWING BMP'S ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PRACTICABLE)
FACILITIES:
Note: the City of Normandy has NO swimming pool facility...
• Pool drainage and filter backwash water from chlorinated swimming pools,
fountains and lined ponds must be discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
Other chlorinated water from water line or tank disinfection must also be directed
to the sanitary sewer.
• Any discharge to surface water of pool or backwash water from pools and ponds
must be dechlorinated prior to discharging into storm sewer system under the
conditions of an NPDES permit obtained by the facility. The NPDES permit
requires ceasing chlorination 7 days prior to discharge or using chemical
dechlorination. These discharges to surface water must be approved under local
building code, and not create a nuisance to adjoining property.
• Avoid using copper or silver-containing algaecides in pools, fountains and
ponds.
• Ensure grease traps and oil/water separators in kitchens and food service areas
are maintained. Avoid sanitary sewer grease-blockage by regularly pumping out
traps and separators.
• Maintain site plumbing plans showing sanitary and storm sewer connections.
Ensure wastewater is discharged only to the sanitary sewer, and storm water to
the storm sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for storm
water drainage.
• Minimize the use of pesticides through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Program. An IPM Program uses monitoring of pest populations compared to an
action threshold, and then choosing the proper tactics, using nonchemical pest
control practices, such as mechanical and biological controls, when possible, or
less toxic products when needed. IPM does not rely on routine applications of
pesticide based on a calendar date.
- Page 10 of 96 Pages -
•
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 (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/agguides/pests/ipm1009.htm
(See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
Reduce )0 then Recycle ' .
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Develop a policy to purchase recycled products or products with high post-
consumer waste content whenever practical. Many resources are available from
the EPA WasteWise Helpline: 800 EPA-WISE. Website:
http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/reduce/wstewise/wrr/buyq&a.htm
(See Appendix 2-F1 for a sample waste reduction and recycling policy.)
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by
municipal operations. (See the policy in Appendix 2-F1 .)
• Develop policy to purchase environmentally preferred products whenever
practical. For a "Database of Environmental Information for Products and
Services," see EPA website: http://yosemite1.epa.gov/oppt/eppstand2.nsf/
(See Appendix 2-F2 for a sample green procurement policy or
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/green-procurement-e.html).
• Provide for the proper disposal of all 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
- Page 11 of 96 Pages -
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 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 ' y..,
hazardous and non-hazardous substances, r,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. J a } s
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances for waste -‘

commercial and industrial areas. (See Appendix 2-F3 for language from the St.
Louis County Waste Management Code.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard
waste disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties. (See
Appendix
2-F4 and 2-F5 for Model Ordinances.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and
equestrian and animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and
other animals. (See Appendix 2-F6 for Model Ordinance).
• Provide pet waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks and other public areas
frequented by pet walkers to promote the proper disposal of pet waste and notify
the public of ordinance requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately-sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and
disposal.
• Educate citizens on trash and pet waste issues to promote compliance with
ordinances using available methods such as resident newsletters, brochures,
internet sites, storm drain marking projects, etc.
• Promote and assist in neighborhood and stream clean-up activities.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances against illegal discharges to storm water
from sources such as failing septic tanks, septic tanks discharging to storm
water, etc. Ordinances to address illegal connections of sanitary sewers should
be at least as stringent as the Missouri Department of Health regulations in 19
CSR 20-3 and County requirements, such as St. Louis County Plumbing Code
Section 1103.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances requiring the proper maintenance of septic
tanks and other small onsite sewage disposal systems. For a model ordinance,
see: http://www.anjec.org/html/ord-modelseptic.htm
O&M PROGRAM
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance
schedules and long term inspection procedures in accordance with this program
manual with emphasis on safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws
and good environmental stewardship.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be
performed once a month and records kept of the inspections.
• Develop record keeping procedures that effectively track implementation of
program elements and that provide the information necessary to meet the
reporting requirements of the MS4 permit.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
• Institute a preventive maintenance program to minimize fluid leaks and
equipment failures. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for leaks,
collecting leaks with pans or absorbent, and repairing leaks.
- Page 19 of 96 Pages -
• All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at The City of Normandy facilities are
performed indoors. On occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance
work will be performed in a paved area with provisions made to contain and
clean up all drips and spills.
• Use non-hazardous, environmentally safe products when possible. Avoid use of
chlorinated organic solvents.
• Environmentally safe detergents are used instead of caustic cleaning solutions.
• Flammable liquids are kept in a vented fire-rated cabinet.
• All supply material and waste containers are marked clearly and properly to
identify the contents.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling and health and safety.
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent
contact with rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and are free of standing liquid, and
stored containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other wastes are collected in designated,
labeled containers and recycled to the maximum extent practicable.
• Wheel weights are kept in a container marked "scrap lead".
• Records of waste pick-ups are logged and maintained in file.
• Drain pans are labeled for specific types of fluid. Use pans under vehicles and
equipment with fluid leaks. Always use drip pans when making and breaking
connections.
• Used oil filters should be gravity drained for 24 hrs with the anti-drain back valve
or filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process. Crushing the oil filter
and recycling is preferred.
• Batteries, waste oil, etc. having spill/leak potential are stored indoors and are in
secondary containment, when possible.
• Neutralizer and absorbent are kept by both new and used batteries.
• All floors are clean of oil and grease.
• Immediately clean up all spills of chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods
(absorbents), minimizing the use of water whenever possible.
• Vehicle operators should be instructed to remain with the vehicle during fueling,
and not to top-off the fuel tank to avoid overflows and spills.
• For painting or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp enclosure to contain and
capture material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sand blast waste in the
trash for non-lead based paint, or evaluate lead based paint for hazardous waste
disposal.
• Keep the facility and surrounding area clear of litter.
SPILL PREVENTION
• Spill control plans should be in place with procedures for proper spill response to
minimize environmental impacts. SPCC plans must meet regulatory criteria in 40
CFR 112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one container or
1 ,320 gallons on site.
• Procedures for loading, unloading and transfer operations should be developed
to prevent overfilling and spills.
- Page 20 of 96 Pages -
• 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 and are covered with a roof. If containment is not roofed,
inspect accumulated rain water for contamination prior to discharge.
• Fueling areas are recommended to be designed with a roof to prevent contact
with storm water. The area should be graded and sloped to direct storm water
runoff away from the site and to prevent runoff from flowing over the fueling area.
• Storm water treatment devices can be used to treat runoff from fueling areas.
• "No smoking" signs are posted in the shop, and near hazardous waste and
flammable material storage areas. Verify that fire extinguishers are charged and
inspected yearly.
G. NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit status:
Vehicle maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities
under the Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES storm
water (Phase I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit R80C. As stated
above, all of The City of Normandy 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, material handlers,
laborers, equipment operators, janitors, and management staff working at facilities
identified in Section B. All employees will be provided safety training and training on
written procedures pertaining to general housekeeping. Implement monthly safety
meetings to include environmental training and HAZMAT training.

Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Normandy will wash all public works vehicles and equipment in the wash
bay compartment (garage stall number 4) interior of public works facility according to this
chapter. The majority of Normandy Police vehicles will be conveyed to a commercial
car washing facility in Hazelwood as washing needs arise. We will wash Police
vehicles on special occasions such as department funerals, etc.
B. Locations:
The City of Normandy wash bay facilities are located at the following locations:
1) Public Works Facility, 5800 Bermuda Drive, Normandy Missouri 63121.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Police Duty Supervisor delegates motor pool vehicle washings assignments and is
responsible for ensuring that Police vehicles are taken off-site to approved commercial
facilities for washing. The Fleet Maintenance Supervisor/Mechanic is responsible for
ensuring that all washings on The City of Normandy property is done in the locations
specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is "Dawn" brand dish detergent and Clean-Rite brand "Purple
Cleaner" (NON-PHOSPHATE, BIO-DEGRADABLE DETERGENT).
E. Wash bay design and waste disposal:
Wash water from vehicle and equipment washing must be disposed in the MSD sanitary
sewer, with pretreatment using a sediment/oil trap. The accumulated solids in the
sediment/oil trap must be pumped out and properly disposed of, such as at a
wastewater treatment plant by an MSD approved waste hauler. If floating oils and
grease accumulate in the sediment/oil trap, the contents must be disposed by a
permitted waste hauler at a commercial facility able to handle oily waste.
F. Best Management Practices (BMPs):
(FOR OFF-SITE WASHING)
• All vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when washing is needed.
• Commercial facilities used are verified to be in compliance with MSD sewer
discharge requirements. Facilities must discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer
system, and wash bays must be covered to prevent storm water in the sanitary
system.
(FOR MUNICIPAL WASHING)
- Page 23 of 96 Pages -
• Wash bay facilities are designed to collect wash water, pre-treat with a sediment/oil
trap (interceptor), and discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The trap must be
pumped quarterly, or as needed.
• Wash bays are covered and wash area curbed or otherwise drained to prevent
storm water runoff from discharging to the sanitary system. Uncovered wash bays
have an inlet valve to the sanitary sewer. The wash bay is cleaned and the valve is
maintained closed when washing is not occurring, to keep uncontaminated storm
water out of the sanitary sewer. Post instructions regarding the use of the valve.
• Mobile wash services must collect wash water for recycling or proper disposal into a
sanitary sewer.
• Job-site mud removal is performed without detergent in a contained, permeable
(gravel) area with wash water infiltrating into soil or gravel.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable.
H. Training:
Employees responsible for operating fleet vehicles and equipment will be made aware
of BMPs regarding washing, and the proper, designated locations for washing.

A. Description of Activities:
On an as-needed basis, city personnel perform minor renovations/repairs and small
capital improvements on city facilities, such as erecting or removing partitions, replacing
a door or window, painting, etc. Major projects are typically contracted out to
commercial firms specializing in the type of work required.
B. Locations:
City hall and central garage 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:
Facilities Manager — The Fleet Maintenance Supervisor/Mechanis is the responsible
party that will ensure all repairs, remodeling and construction will be preformed without
subjecting the storm water system to any new contaminant streams. He is responsible
for the construction practices of the contractors that work for Normandy on municipal
facilities.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Varies with nature of job. Materials are purchased on an as-needed basis and in
quantities expected to be completely consumed in the process of completing the
project. Materials used for every project will vary. The majority of materials are
purchased on a project basis and are consumed during that project. Materials should
be stored indoors or under cover so they are protected from rainfall and runoff. All
unused portions of materials should be properly secured to prevent loss, such as
bagged cement. Tarps should be used on the ground to collect fallen debris and other
spilled material. Waste should be cleaned up on a daily basis and properly disposed of
as noted below in section "E". Routinely stocked materials are identified in the
following table.

Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. Never clean up
concrete equipment or paint brushes and allow the washout into the street, storm
drains, drainage ditches, or streams.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITY DESIGN
• Consider designing facilities for "Low Impact Development" to reduce the volume
and rate of storm water runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer
to information on Low Impact Development from EPA's web site at:
http://www.epa.gov/owowwtr1/NPS/lid/lidlit.html for more information about Low
Impact Development methods.
• In designing storm water drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, in accordance
with MSD's storm water drainage facility design regulations, to improve the water
quality of site drainage: wet detention ponds, wetlands, structural filter systems,
grass swales, vegetative filter strips, and riparian buffers along streams. MSD's
design regulations are contained in the "Rules and Regulations and Engineering
Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
Fact sheets on storm water management practices are available from the Storm
Water Manager's Resource Center at the following web site:
http://www.stormwatercenter.net
• Carefully design and install plumbing and storm water systems to code, eliminating
cross-connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and storm water runoff
contacting stored material.
• Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation,
fertilizer and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and
programs implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water
Management Plan. For projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds,
prevent erosion of soil from bare ground at the site by employing erosion and
sediment control BMPs, such as: soil stabilization with mulch or seeding, settling
basins, sediment traps, vegetated buffer strips, and silt fencing for perimeter
controls. For details concerning these BMPs, see the SWPPP link on the following
web page: www.stlouisco.com/plan/land disturbance.html
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge
or fill material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404
permit and a MDNR 401 water quality certification. Waters of the United States
include ditches, creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands. See Appendix 5-F1 for a
summary of permit requirements.
- Page 27 of 96 Pages -
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
• In accordance with city purchasing policies as stated in Chapter 1 and 2, every effort
is made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled materials.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and
cover stored materials to avoid storm water impacts.
• Recycle or properly dispose of wastes, as indicated in Section E above.
• Never clean out or wash out paint or concrete mixers in the street or near a gutter,
storm drain or stream.
• Small quantities of inert demolition wastes and construction scraps are disposed in
the city hall dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made
with a city-contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pickup trash that can be wind blown daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fire-proof barriers
and doors, roofing material and insulating materials for asbestos content prior to
demolition. Manage material using certified asbestos personnel.
• Utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint on structures older than
1978. Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.
• When scraping or washing to remove non-lead based paint, collect paint chips in a
tarp for proper disposal. Use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint whenever
possible.
• Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the
sanitary sewer, and that storm water is sent to the storm sewer system.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a Land Disturbance Permit MO-R100A (if
regulated under a Phase II compliant land disturbance program) or Permit MO-R101
from the MDNR. Storm water operating permits will not apply unless process water will
be discharged to storm water and not to the sanitary sewers.
H. Training:
All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities
will be trained on the BMPs presented in this chapter. Personnel should be trained in
the items noted below:
• General housekeeping
• Material storage, cleanup, and disposal
• Material reuse and recycling
• Equipment cleanup
• Land disturbance erosion control
Reduction of material for disposal through storage, reuse, or recycling can greatly
reduce material and disposal costs, long term liability, preserve environmental quality,
improve workplace safety and provide a positive public image.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, Highways,
Bridges and Parking Facilities
A. Description of Activities:
Most highway agencies and municipalities are responsible for the cleaning and
maintenance of roadways, highways, and parking facilities under their maintenance
purview. Activities include, but may not be limited to, street sweeping, flushing, applying
surface seals, patching, snow removal, and emergency response to spills and
accidents.
Street sweeping operations normally involve self-contained and powered collection
devices, utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work may be performed on a
scheduled basis, or when requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs
where debris can accumulate in the gutter line.
Many agencies flush bridge decks and parking structures in the spring to remove de-
icing chemicals and to clean the drainage structures. Also, flushing operations are
performed on sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates after flooding,
creating hazardous conditions.
Bridge decks and parking structures are normally sealed on a five-to-seven year cycle
to protect the concrete and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or
cold patching material.
Highway agencies plow and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction
during winter snow events. Typically, 200 to 400 pounds of salt per lane mile is used to
de-ice the pavement. Other chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when
prevailing temperatures fall below 20° Fahrenheit.
Most highway agencies are required to respond to emergency situations involving spills
and debris from vehicles. This work is performed if it is determined that the material
which will be removed from the public road right-of-way is of a non-hazardous nature.
Hazardous material is handled through hazardous material removal procedures not
specified in this chapter.
B. Locations:
All road networks or public parking structures of the City of St. Louis, Saint Louis
County, and all municipalities within the boundaries of Saint Louis County.
• Natural Bridge Road, Florissant Road and Lucas & Hunt Road are maintained by
MODOT.
• Bermuda Drive/Elizabeth is maintained by St. Louis County.
• The Ted Jones Trail is maintained by St. Louis County.
- Page 29 of 96 Pages -
• All other secondary lanes of travel and city owned parking lots in Normandy are the
responsibility of the City of Normandy.
C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking
lots include:
Director of Public Works: Rodney Jarrett (314) 267-3695.
Fleet Maintenance Supervisor/Mechanic: Billy Martin (314) 486-2116.
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.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
MAINTENANCE
• If certain road maintenance activities are prone to produce pollutants that can be
carried off with storm water runoff, schedule these maintenance activities during
times of dry weather if possible.
• Capture scrapings/rust/dirt/sandblasting grit/over spray/drips, etc., from
preparation and painting of bridges/structures/traffic control devices.
• For steel girders on bridges, utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based
paint on structures older than 1978. Use only state certified removal contractors
for lead based paint abatement.
• Used asphalt is recycled when it is cost-beneficial.
• Block scuppers and drains when sealing bridge decks.
• On asphalt overlays, ensure storm water drainage capacity of curbs and inlets is
maintained by milling down into the street at the curb, or using open graded thin
bonded overlay.
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and
programs implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water
Management Plan. For projects less than the land disturbance program
thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion and sediment control.
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any
dredge or fill material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches,
creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404
permit and a MDNR 401 water quality certification. Examples of construction or
repair activities requiring a permit include: bridge work, culverts under road
crossings, dredging or placing rip rap in creeks. See Appendix 5-F1 for a
summary of permit requirements.
-Page 31 of 96 Pages -
DE-ICING
• Use calibrated chemical applicators for salt and brine applications.
• Minimize the use of salt without compromising public safety.
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs, where equipped.
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
• As available, use road weather information such as weather forecasts,
meteorological data, and pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency and
effectiveness of resources.
CLEANING
• Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming,
etc.) prior to roadway flushing on bridges.
• Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking
lots and roadways within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible,
focusing on heavy traffic patterns, seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem
areas. Record the volume of trash/debris removed to identify the priority of areas
being cleaned and the effectiveness of resources used. Investigate to determine
sources of litter in areas of excessive accumulation.
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection
device and fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in
Section E above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the
storm drain untreated.

Chapter 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and
Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Normandy has one (1) parks totaling nearly 10 acres of land, two (2)
parkways totaling 2.5 acres of land and the TED Jones Trail which is owned and
operated by St. Louis County Parks.
The City of Normandy has responsibility for the development and maintenance of
recreational areas and green space within the city, including neighborhood and regional
parks, community gardens, trees, public facility landscaping and public street right-of-
way landscaping. The city promotes an interconnected system of open space and trails
that facilitates active and passive recreational opportunities for the community.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of storm
water by providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its
release in to streams, storing, filtering and slowing storm water runoff down and thus
preventing or reducing flash flooding downstream. Local governments have an
opportunity to use their park lands to benefit the environment and to demonstrate best
practices for storm water management.
Maintenance activities include mowing of grassy areas, pruning trees, removing fallen
limbs, mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance (repairing asphalt bike
path and walking trails), routine cleaning of park restrooms, and parking lot
maintenance.
There is pet waste signage posted in the parks system as well as a pet waste station...

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
- Page 34 of 96 Pages -
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.
• 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
pet waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks to notify visitors of the
requirement.
• Control wild geese populations near lakes with "no feeding the geese" signs and
ordinances. Other techniques to control populations include habitat modification by
increasing shoreline vegetation height, scare tactics or relocation.
PARK/LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
• Remove litter and debris regularly.
• Properly dispose of yard waste, for example, by composting. Do not dump yard
waste into creeks.
• Minimize mowing of open space sites, depending on site objectives.
• Mow grass higher and leave grass clippings on the lawn to retain moisture and
provide nutrients.
• Remove exotic invasive vegetation and replace with native plantings as resources
are available.
- Page 35 of 96 Pages -
• 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.
• 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/agguides/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
-Page 36 of 96 Pages -
•
area because they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little
natural soil filtering.
• Apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage, and use
site specific rather than wholesale application.
• Read pesticide labels carefully for information and restrictions about the rate, timing,
and placement of the pesticide in that container. Calibrate equipment to apply at the
proper rate. Apply when the threat of rain is low to avoid wasting material and
washing pesticide into the waterways. Carefully calculate how much pesticide
concentrate is needed to treat the specific site with the equipment being used, to
eliminate disposal of excess spray mix.
• Store pesticides in their original containers in a cool, well-ventilated building with a
concrete floor. Handle pesticides carefully to avoid spills.
• Dispose of pesticide waste properly, following label instructions.

Chapter 8 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm
Sewers and Inlet Structures
A. Description of Activities:
MSD provides cleaning and maintenance to drainage channels, storm sewers and inlet
structures. Normandy address the clogged horizontal grates, obvious clogged inlets
and removes all vegetation growing/blocking inlets as well as leaves. Generally this
service is provided after any hard rain. There are several areas that produce local
flooding in lanes of traffic during heavy rains and our department checks these on a
regular basis.

These are examples of situations that Normandy wishes to avoid and will gladly assist
MDS with corrections.
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".
-Page 39 of 96 Pages -
B. Locations:
The City of Normandy separate storm system includes 00 miles of storm sewers and 00
miles of open natural drainage ditches and channels. All structures are identified on
facility base maps. The number of catch basins on the separate storm system is
approximately 00. 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
Service Request: (314) 768-6260
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
• The City of Normandy's Public Works Department has NO Vactors for cleaning
inlets.
• The City of Normandy's Public Works Department has NO hydroflush units for
cleaning storm sewers.
• The City of Normandy's Public Works Department does have a front end
loaders/backhoe for maintenance in channel maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Wastes generated from maintenance of the storm drainage system must be disposed of
properly, as indicated in the table. All waste being disposed of in a landfill must not
contain free liquid. Water draining from waste destined for a sanitary landfill is
considered wastewater and must be disposed of in a sanitary sewer system.
Waste Storage Requirements Method Of Disposal Contractor
Catch Basin Grit& Trash Provided by MSD M.S.D.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
GENERAL
• Within budgetary constraints and responsibilities, perform preventative
maintenance of the storm drainage system to remove flow obstructions to reduce
flooding and erosion problems and improve water quality.
- Page 40 of 96 Pages -
• 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 events, and based on work ordersgenerated bycustomer complaints and/or flooding. s '
g p
Increase maintenance of inlets that are fully blocked c 1
or 75% full of trash or debris when maintained. ;
Reduce maintenance of catch basins that do not t ' a
result in waste generation.
• Consider installation of catch basin inlets in areas *iz ,
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
- Page 41 of 96 Pages -
• 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 9 - Operation and Maintenance of Recycling and Composting
Facilities
(NOTE: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CHAPTER, RECYCLING INCLUDES YARD WASTE / MULCHING /
COMPOSTING OPERATIONS AS WELL AS SITES COLLECTING COMMON HOUSEHOLD RECYCLABLES SUCH
AS PAPER, PLASTIC, GLASS, CARDBOARD, ETC.)
A. Description of Activities:
The material collected at Normandy's temporary storage facility includes a very limited
amount of materials such as yard waste, brush, tree debris and concrete. All other
material is directly transferred to either the landfill or to the recycling facility both of
which are located in Earth City, Missouri. Any stock piled tree debris is fed to our limb
chipper and used as mulch on pathways in the park/parkways, offered to organizations
such as St Ann's Catholic School or the local community garden club as well as offered
to residents for home use.
B. Locations:
The facility is located at 5800 Bermuda Drive, Normandy, Missouri 6312. The site
consists of 1.5 acres with a 1008 square foot canopy structure. The site is fenced and
locked with gravel road access for the general public and for public works vehicle use of
the site. Material being deposited at this location from the public in very little to none.
Residents mainly withdraw wood chips, mulch and soil on the rare event that we have
soil.
C. Responsible Parties
The Public Works Director has authority over the facility. The facility is actively
managed by the Normandy's Fleet Maintenance Supervisor/Mechanic who draws
assistance from other employees when needed. This facility is not available to the
residents except by appointment only and residents may not make deposits, only
withdrawals of material.
Director of Public Works: Rodney Jarrett (314) 267-3695.
Fleet Maintenance Supervisor/Mechanic: Billy Martin (314) 486-2116.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Recyclable materials are collected from residential curbside and delivered directly to
designated handler (Resource Management in Earth City) on a weekly basis. Our method of
collection is "Single Stream" and all recycle material are collected in a 25-yard rear
loading truck. Only "White Goods/Appliances" (Bill 530 items) are kept on site until a
significant minimum quantity is obtained for disposal. Household trash and waste is
also collected from residential curbside and delivered directly to Champ Landfill which
is also in Earth City. Only small quantities of wood chips and mulch are stored here and
all material is offered to residents for residential use. The following materials and
quantities are typically stored onsite:

E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
The City of Normandy provides their own residential household trash collection and
recycling collection. Residents place their recyclables and trash at curbside on
designated collection days in roll out trash carts that are provided by the city and our
sanitation departments provides collection and transportation to handling facility.
Materials are collected from curbside and taken to landfill or recycling facility, there is
NO storage at public works facility. No dumping or disposal of trash is allowed on the
site.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
THE FOLLOWING BMP'S ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PRACTICABLE.
• Yard waste composting operations and mulch piles should be located away from
storm water drainage systems, and must not be located within 100 feet of a natural
creek or man-made storm water drainage channel, 300 feet from a water well or
1,000 feet from a sinkhole, under MDNR permit G97.
- Page 44 of 96 Pages -
• Compost/mulch is confined by an impervious base with curbing or otherwise stored
to prevent leachate and runoff from contaminating storm water, and to prevent storm
water drainage running into the pile.
• Do not discharge leachate to storm water. As necessary to manage leachate,
design a system to collect and properly treat leachate or incorporate into the early
stages of the composting process.
• Materials that will pollute storm water are collected under a roofed structure or in an
enclosed dumpster.
• The public is notified by signage at the facility that lists materials accepted at the
facility and those unauthorized items that are not acceptable.
• Attendants are on duty to monitor use of the facility and to ensure unauthorized
items are not deposited by the public.
• The Police Department routinely patrols the facility to prevent unauthorized
dumping.
• No fluids are drained into any storm water system.
• Every effort is made to ensure the facility is clean and that no unauthorized or
contaminated materials are deposited at the facility.
• Materials easily moved by wind must be stored in a manner to prevent the material
from becoming airborne and scattered.
• An emergency phone is available at the site for attendants to promptly report any
problems to the supervisors or the Police.
• Drums or containers of oil, petroleum products or hazardous materials are not
accepted. Also drums or containers that have previously contained these
substances are unacceptable for recycling at the facility.
G. NPDES Permit status:
1. Recycling Center: Facilities involved in the recycling or composting of materials are
considered "municipal industrial" facilities under Missouri Storm Water Regulations and
are subject to separate NPDES Storm Water (Phase I) permitting requirements, unless
they are collection points only and completely protected from storm water (run-on and
run-off). Potentially applicable MDNR NPDES General Permits include: R8OH for
Recycling facilities and G97 for Yard Waste Compost sites. As noted above, all of the
city's recyclable collection and handling activities are conducted indoors or are
otherwise conducted without exposure to storm water. Therefore, an NPDES Storm
Water permit is not required for the Recycling Center. A "no-exposure certification" has
been filed with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
H. Training:
All City employees attending to the operation or using the recycling and composting
facility will undergo initial City-provided training upon employment. All employees are
regularly instructed on the use of equipment and handling of problem situations.

Chapter 10 - Water Quality Impact Assessment of Flood Management
Projects
A. Description of Activities:
New flood management projects located within the co-permittees jurisdiction must be
assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing projects must be assessed for
incorporation of additional water quality protection devices or practices, where feasible.
Flood management projects in the Plan Area can include: regional storm water control
(retention basins, detention basins); flood control levees and associated pump stations;
storm water drainage conveyance capacity improvements; projects involving land
buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain land.
Storm water management projects in both development and re-development will be
assessed for water quality impact, according to MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Stormwater Drainage Facilities", which address
the Storm Water Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM 5. Projects
within designated levee districts, such as Monarch-Chesterfield, Earth City and
Riverport will be based on the Storm Water Master Plan for these districts. All flood
management projects involving channel modification will also be assessed for aquatic
and water quality impacts through the Corps of Engineers 404 permit and MDNR 401
water quality certification process.
B. Locations:
Existing projects located within the Plan Area include: NONE.
C. Responsible Parties:
All co-permittees that plan, design or install flood management projects are subject to
this chapter. MSD has general responsibility for storm water drainage facilities in the
Plan Area. St. Louis County, municipalities, and property owners have responsibility for
the drainage facilities not dedicated to, and maintained by MSD. St. Louis County and
municipalities maintain control over planning and zoning, land use regulations, and flood
plain management through ordinances.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Not applicable. For construction phase of work, land disturbance requirements will
apply. See Chapter 2 and 8 for construction and maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapter 2 and 8 for maintenance.
- Page 47 of 96 Pages -
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• Implement and enforce ordinances and/or procedures requiring that water quality
factors be incorporated into the design and operation of storm water/flood
control structures.
• Inspect existing flood management facilities on a specified frequency to
determine water quality impacts and exploit opportunities for improvement.
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum
extent practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and
Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and
Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
• Design new flood management projects to prevent or minimize adverse water
quality impacts, exploring alternative programs utilizing non-structural flood
damage reduction and stream bank stabilization measures to the maximum
extent practicable, such as flood proofing houses, and buy outs.
• Use models based on fully developed conditions, and adopt a free board above
base flood elevation for development.
• Identify existing wetlands or other natural open space areas, particularly around
streams, and preserve them from development so they can provide natural
attenuation, retention or detention of runoff.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential
water quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Work closely with local governments, environmental organizations and others to
develop multi-use open space corridors along streams which will allow for
overbank floodplain storage.
• Floodplains are preserved to the maximum extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent
practicable, utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open storm water conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent
practicable to preserve natural conditions and habitat.
• Channel improvement projects are to use natural approaches rather than
concrete, riprap or other "hard" techniques to the maximum extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to
minimize scour and erosion.
• Trash racks are provided at outlet structures of detention ponds and other flood
control structures to capture trash and floatables.
• Employ natural solutions and use controls that preserve the hydrology of a site
as a first line of flood control to the maximum extent practicable.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable
H. Training:
Employees and contractors responsible for the planning and design of the flood
management projects identified in Section A will be trained on the BMPs in this chapter.

Appendix 1-A2: Excerpts from the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4
Phase II Permit MO-R040005
Pertinent to Minimum Control Measure #6
(Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping from Municipal Operations)
Permit Section 4.2 lists the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) to be addressed by
each co-permittee. Section 4.2.6 specifically addresses the requirements for MCM #6.
In addition, portions of Section 4.1.1 as well as other permit provisions are applicable in
addressing the requirements of MCM #6.
4.2.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
4.2.6.1 Permit requirement. The permittee shall:
4.2.6.1.1 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; and
4.2.6.1.2 Using training materials that are available from EPA, State, or other
organizations, the permittee shall develop training to prevent and reduce
storm water pollution from activities such as park and open space
maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land
disturbance, and storm water system maintenance.
4.2.6.2 Decision process. The permittee shall document the permittee's decision
process for the development of a pollution prevention/good housekeeping
program for municipal operations. The permittee's rational statement shall
address both the permittee's overall pollution prevention/good
housekeeping program and the individual BMPs, measurable goals, and
responsible persons for the program. The rationale statement shall
include the following information, at a minimum:
4.2.6.2.1 The permittee's operation and maintenance program to prevent or reduce
pollutant runoff from their municipal operations. The permittee shall
specifically list the municipal operations that are impacted by this
operation and maintenance program. The permittee shall also include a
list of industrial facilities the permittee owns or operates that are subject to
EPA's Multi-Sector General permit (MSGP) or individual NPDES permits
for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activity that
ultimately discharge to the permittee's MS4. The permittee shall include
the permit number or a copy of the industrial application form for each
facility.
4.2.6.2.2 Any government employee training program the permittee uses to prevent
and reduce storm water pollution from activities such as park and open
space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and
land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance. The permittee
- Page 55 of 96 Pages -
•
shall describe how this training program will be coordinated with the
outreach programs developed for the public information minimum
measure and the illicit discharge minimum measure.
4.2.6.2.3 The permittee's program description shall specifically address the
following areas:
4.2.6.2.3.1 Maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long term inspection
procedures for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants to the
permittee's regulated small MS4.
4.2.6.2.3.2 Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from
streets, roads, highways, municipal parking lots, maintenance and storage
yards, waste transfer stations, fleet or maintenance shops with outdoor
storage areas, and salt/sand storage locations and snow disposal areas
the permittee operates.
4.2.6.2.3.3 Procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from the permittee's
MS4 and area of jurisdiction, including dredged material, accumulated
sediments, floatables, and other debris.
4.2.6.2.3.4 Procedures to ensure that new flood management projects are assessed
for impacts on water quality and existing projects are assessed for
incorporation of additional water quality protection devices or practices.
4.2.6.2.4 Identification of the person(s) responsible for overall management and
implementation of their pollution prevention/good housekeeping program
and if different, the person responsible for each of the BMPs identified for
this program.
4.2.6.2.5 How the permittee will evaluate the success of this minimum measure,
including how the permittee selected the measurable goals for each of the
BMPs.
Other Permit Sections Pertinent to MCM #6
The following four sections contain pollution control requirements specifically for
municipally owned facilities and were, therefore considered when drafting the O&M
Program under MCM #6.
4.1.1.2 For facilities under the control of the permittee good housekeeping
practices shall be maintained to keep solid waste from entry into waters of
the state to the maximum extent practicable.
4.1.1.3 All fueling facilities under the control of the permittee shall adhere to
applicable federal and state regulations concerning underground storage,
above ground storage, and dispensers, including spill prevention, control
and counter measures.
- Page 56 of 96 Pages -
4.1.1.4 Substances regulated by federal law under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) or the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) that are
transported, stored, or used for maintenance, cleaning or repair by the
permittee shall be managed according to the provisions of RCRA and
CERCLA.
4.1.1.5 All paint, solvents, petroleum products and petroleum waste products
(except fuels) under the control of the permittee shall be stored so that
these materials are not exposed to storm water. Sufficient practices of
spill prevention, control, and/or management shall be provided to prevent
any spills of these pollutants from entering a water of the state. Any
containment system used to implement this requirement shall be
constructed of materials compatible with the substances contained and
shall also prevent the contamination of groundwater.
Other provisions of the permit also were considered in developing the municipal O&M
program. MCMs #3 (Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination), #4 (Construction Site
Storm Water Runoff Control) and #5 (Post-Construction Storm Water Management in
New Development and Redevelopment) all can apply to activities conducted by the
municipal co-permittee at municipally owned projects. While the permit requirements
for these MCMs are primarily geared toward the municipal co-permittee exerting control
over these activities by the people living and working within the municipality, logically
similar controls must be applied to municipal activities of the same nature. The
municipal co-permittees must ensure that there are no illicit discharges from municipal
facilities, that there are runoff controls in place for municipal land disturbance projects

Appendix 2-Fl : Recycling Policy
The City of Normandy, Missouri
Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement
1. Policy
The City of Normandy, Missouri is committed to good stewardship of the environment.
A key element of that stewardship is the reduction of the amount of solid waste going
from the city into landfills. Solid waste landfills have negative long-range environmental
impacts, drain community resources, and have limited capacity to accept the large
quantities of waste generated by our society today. The City of Normandy, Missouri will
make every effort to reduce the solid waste generated at our facilities. Four methods
will be used to implement this policy: source reduction, reuse of materials, recycling,
and purchase of recycled materials. Every City department and individual employee
has a personal responsibility for implementing this policy.
2. Methods to Achieve Solid Waste Reduction
A. Source Reduction: All members of the City staff are responsible for implementing
operational practices that prevent waste from being produced. Examples include
printing reports and documents on both sides of the paper; printing appropriate
numbers of documents; using email rather than printed correspondence; and using
products that are reusable, refillable, repairable, non-toxic, recyclable. Products with
reusable, returnable packaging or items requiring the least possible packaging should
be purchased when practical. Every effort should be made to prevent excess or
unneeded materials from being purchased.
B. Reuse of Materials: All employees of the City are responsible for reusing products
whenever possible. An example would be to use dishes, glasses, and reusable
flatware rather than disposable paper and plastic ware.
C. Recycling: All City employees are responsible for separating identified recyclable
materials and placing them in appropriate recycling containers. City Recycling includes
aluminum cans, steel cans, batteries, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, hard back
books, newspapers, phone books, catalogs and magazines, brown paper bags,
microfiche, news blend, office blend, plastic bottles (#1 and #2 only), styrofoam and
peanuts, toner cartridges, transparencies, videotapes, and additional items as
implemented. Facilities Management Recycling includes construction/demolition
debris, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, paint, pallets, refrigerants, scrap
metal, solvents, tires, yard waste, and additional items as implemented.
D. Purchase of Recycled Content Material: All City departments are responsible for
making efforts to purchase and use products manufactured from or containing recycled
materials. All recycled content purchases will be reported to the Purchasing
Department for record-keeping and reporting purposes.
- Page 65 of 96 Pages -
3. Procedures
The Director of Public Works will be responsible for implementing this Policy by:
A. Designating departments and employees responsible for the task of developing and
implementing a waste reduction and recycling program in accordance with this Policy.
B. Designating personnel in the Purchasing Department to ensure recycled content
products are purchased when feasible and that criteria for recycled content products
are included in the purchasing bid process.
C. Designating personnel in Facilities Management to ensure that all new construction
includes designated areas for recycling and solid waste collection and removal.
D. Designating personnel to promote recycling and waste reduction in employee
events and materials as well as informational material in quarterly published
newsletters to city residents.
E. Requiring all contractors to adhere to City recycling policies and procedures.
F. Taking other appropriate action as he/she deems necessary to implement this
Policy.

Appendix 2-F2: Green Procurement Policy
The City of Normandy, Missouri Green Procurement Policy
1. Policy Objective
The objective of this policy is to provide direction for greening Normandy's procurement.
2. Policy Statement
As set out in this Policy, priority in procurement will be given to green products and
services, including construction.
3. Definitions
Green procurement is the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose. This comparison may consider raw
material acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, operation,
maintenance, disposal and re-use of the product or service. Green procurement
encompasses the concept of the procurement of goods and services that provide for
basic human needs and bring a better quality of life, while minimizing the use of non-
renewable natural resources and toxic materials and the emission of wastes and
pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.
A preen product is one that is less harmful than the alternative, having characteristics
including, but not limited to, the following:
• Recyclable - local facilities exist that are capable of recycling the product at the
end of its useful life.
• Biodegradable - will not take a long time to decompose in landfill.
• Contain recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Produce fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution,
use and/or disposal.
• Produce the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Make efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Durable - have a long economically useful life and/or can be economically
repaired or upgraded.
Sustainable (green) service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green
operational policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
- Page 67 of 96 Pages -
•
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file
showing that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
4. Policy Procedures
Where available and cost effective, green products and services, including construction,
that are of equal or better performance and quality, will be purchased. In determining
cost effectiveness, a department should give consideration to the costs and benefits
that accrue, in the shorter and longer term, to the City of Normandy.
For all bid solicitations (e g. requests for proposal, requests for quote, and requests for standing),
environmental factors or impact will be considered when requirements are defined. In
addition, bid solicitations will include instructions asking bidders to identify any
environmental benefits over the life cycle of their products and/or services.
Green procurement principles will be applied to construction projects beginning with the
design stage.
Departments will determine the contract dollar value (hereafter referred to as the threshold)
above which a formal record is kept on file showing that environmental criteria were
considered when requirements were defined. In determining their threshold,
departments may wish to consider contracting volumes, training requirements and
budgetary constraints.
For all procurement, consideration will be given to environmental factors or impact. For
requirements:
A. Valued in excess of a threshold, a formal record of the evaluation will be kept on
file. In the case where a green purchase was made, the record will list the
environmental criteria included in the bid solicitation. In the case where a green product
or service was not acquired, the reasons for not selecting an environmentally preferable
product or service will be documented. See Documentation Form attached.
B. Valued at or below the threshold, a formal record of the evaluation is not required.
Each department will be responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient
training about the environment and green procurement to carry out the directives in this
policy.
5. Guidelines
5.1 The life cycle approach and the environment
Applying the four R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) at each phase of the material
management life cycle helps protect the environment and reduce costs.
5.1.1 Planning
- Page 68 of 96 Pages -
During the planning process, managers will assess the need for a given purchase and,
whenever possible,
• Reduce consumption.
• Consider acquiring second-hand or used material.
• Consider products that are less damaging to the environment, such as those made
with resource-saving materials or processes.
• Consider the environmental cost of purchases during each phase of the life cycle.
5.1.2 Acquisition
As much as practical, products selected should:
• Be reusable and contain reusable parts.
• Be recyclable and contain recycled materials (e.g. recycled paper, reconditioned laser
printer cartridges).
• Include second-hand or used material.
• Use resources and energy efficiently.
• Have a long service life or be economical to repair.
• Contain minimal packaging, or use returnable or reusable shipping containers.
• Be non-toxic and non-polluting.
5.1 .3 Maintenance and Operations
A. Ensure that products are properly maintained and used. This will extend the service
life of a product. When economically feasible, equipment should be repaired, refinished
and reused.
B. Hazardous material must be shipped, stored and handled in accordance with
applicable federal and provincial law, and regulations.
5.1.4 Disposal
Consider alternatives to disposing of material, such as reusing, recycling or recovering
it. Try to minimize the amount of waste generated.
5.2 Combine environmental actions with fiscal responsibility
A. Government interest in economy of operations is fully compatible with environmental
interests. Many sound environmental practices have resulted in savings.
B. Most environmental actions can be phased in gradually without additional cost.
When these actions may entail additional costs for the government, managers should
accommodate them within existing budgets.
C. Government should lead by example. In light of the volume of government
procurement, the government can play a significant role in promoting the development
and marketing of green products and services. As demand for these products and
services increase their prices will drop and become more affordable to all consumers.

Appendix 5-F1 : Corps of Engineers 404 Permit & MDNR 401 Certification
All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. The permitting and certification process is shared
between the Corps and the MDNR.
If you are considering a project that may involve placing materials in a lake, river, stream,
ditch or wetland (including dry streams, ditches or wetlands) contact the Corps to find out if
the project you are planning is in jurisdictional waters and is a regulated activity. The Corps
has the sole authority to determine whether the activity is regulated; whether a site specific,
individual 404 permit is required, or whether a Nationwide Permit (NWP) applies for projects
with minor impacts. If a NWP does apply, contacting the Corps of Engineers is recommended
to determine thresholds for notification under the NWP, and to obtain additional regional
requirements imposed by the Corps' St. Louis Office.
The MDNR requires any project that needs a 404 Permit from the Corps (individual or NWP)
to also obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification (401 Certification) from MDNR. The 401
Certification is verification by the state that the project will not violate water quality standards.
The department may require actions on projects to protect water quality in the form of
certification conditions. For some of the NWPs, the MDNR has published their conditions that
must be met in addition to the NWP conditions.
After you contact the Corps about your project and, if applicable, submit an application, they
will send you a letter authorizing your project under a particular permit. If the Corp's letter to
you indicates that you must obtain an individual 401 certification, you must send an
application to MDNR also. If they state that MDNR has `conditionally certified' your activity,
and have enclosed certification conditions, then nothing further is needed.
Questions about permit applicability and procedures for obtaining individual permits can be
found by calling the Corps of Engineers at 314-331-8575 or 314-331-8186. Permit application
forms and procedures for applying to the Corps and the MDNR can be found on the following
web pages:
http://www.mvs.usace.army.mil/permits/permitap.htm.
http://www.dnr.mo.gov/wpscd/wpcp/401/wpcp-401.htm#general.
The following is a list of NWPs commonly applicable to municipal operations. For most of
these NWPs, the MDNR has conditionally certified these activities. The NWPs will list
numerous thresholds for applicability and notification in terms of linear feet and acreage of the
project.
• NWP 3 Maintenance — repair or replacement of an existing structure, and removal of
accumulated sediment or placement of riprap to protect a structure.
• NWP 7 Outfall Structures — construction of new outfall and intake structures, and
removal of accumulated sediment blocking these structures.
• NWP 12 Utility Lines — construction, maintenance, and repair of utility lines (sewer,
water, electric or communication), including outfalls and excavations for the utility line.
• NWP 13 Bank Stabilization — stabilization projects for erosion protection.
- Page 89 of 96 Pages -
• NWP 14 Linear Transportation — construction or modification of linear transportation
crossings, such as bridges and culverts for roads and trails.
• NWP 27 Stream and Wetland Restoration Activities — activities associated with the
restoration of former waters, or the enhancement or creation of wetlands and riparian
areas, or the restoration and enhancement of streams, including activities associated
with flow modification, habitat and vegetation.
• NWP 31 Maintenance of Existing Flood Control Facilities — dredge or fill activities
associated with maintaining existing flood control facilities such as retention/detention
basins and channels.
• NWP 41 Reshaping Existing Drainage Ditches — dredge or fill activities to modify the
cross-sectional configuration of drainage ditches, not modifying capacity beyond the
original design.
• NWP 43 Storm Water Management — construction, maintenance, and dredging of
storm water management facilities, such as ponds, detention/retention basins, outfalls,
and emergency spillways.

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
(municipality).
Best Management Practice (BMP) means: Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution
of streams within St. Louis County from urban runoff. BMPs also include treatment
requirements, operating procedures and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks,
sludge or waste disposal or drainage from raw material storage. BMPs may be structural or
non-structural. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)1 of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200)
Coordinating Authority means: The municipal entity, which is one of the co-permittees to a
state issued Phase II storm water permit, that is recognized by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) as the party which will coordinate the activities of all of the co-
permittees in meeting the requirements of the permit. For the St. Louis County Plan Area, the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) has been identified in the permit as the
coordinating authority for the 61 co-permittees. One of the coordinating authority's
responsibilities is to prepare and submit an annual report to the MDNR on the status of
compliance of all 61 co-permittees with the permit and approved SWMP.
Co-permittee means: An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to
multiple entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis
County Plan Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions
relating to the discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the
responsibilities for which it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share
in the financial and administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each
other and with the coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with
meeting the commitments in the SWMP. The co-permittees are listed in Appendix 1-Al.
Green Procurement - the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose.
Green Product— a product that is less harmful than the next best alternative, having
characteristics such as:
• Being recyclable.
• Being biodegradable.
• Containing recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Having minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Being reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Having minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
- Page 91 of 96 Pages -
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Making efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Being durable or having a long economically useful life and/or can be economically
repaired or upgraded.
Green Space - planned and preserved open land; an interconnected system of open land,
determined to have cultural, ecological, developmental, agricultural, and/or recreational value.
Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) — the technology-based discharge standard for
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges that
was established by CWA §402 (p). A discussion of MEP as it applies to regulated small MS4s
is found at 40 CFR 122.34.
MCMs means: Minimum Control Measures. The six MCMs are: Public education and
outreach; Public participation/involvement; Illicit discharge, detection and elimination;
Construction site runoff control; Post-construction site runoff control; and Pollution
prevention/good housekeeping.
Municipal Industrial Facility means: An industrial facility, as defined in the federal and state
storm water regulations, which is owned or operated by a municipality. The regulations define
covered industrial facilities by their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes as published
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. From this extensive list of covered SIC codes,
the following operations have been identified as those most likely to be owned or operated by
a municipality: Transportation Operations, Landfills, Hazardous Waste Treatment / Storage /
Disposal facilities, Vehicle Maintenance or Fueling facilities, Vehicle Washing facilities, Solid
Waste Transfer facilities, Wastewater Treatment facilities, Recycling facilities, Yard Waste /
Composting facilities and certain types of Warehousing & Storage facilities.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) means: A conveyance or system of
conveyances including roads and highways with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch
basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, paved or unpaved channels or storm drains designated and
utilized for routing of storm water which is contained within the municipal corporate limits or is
owned and operated by the state, city, town, village, county, district, association or other
public body created by or pursuant to the laws of Missouri having jurisdiction over disposal of
sewage, industrial waste, storm water or other liquid wastes and is not a part or portion of a
combined sewer system. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)16 of Missouri Storm
Water Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200). Each of the 61 co-permittees operates its own MS4. In
addition, the term is used to refer to the entire St. Louis County Plan Area which is identified in
the Phase II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Municipal Work Group means: A group of municipal representatives organized under the
provisions of Chapter 14 of the St. Louis County SWMP to develop a model Operation and
Maintenance Program and a Training Program for the 61 co-permittees in order to comply
with the provisions of Section 4.2.6.1.1 of the Plan Area Phase II storm water permit. The
work group members are listed in Appendix 1-A3.
- Page 92 of 96 Pages -
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 93 of 96 Pages -
Recycling Facility means any co-permittee-owned or operated facility which collects, for
recycling, common household recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, etc. or
which collects and processes yard wastes for use as mulch or compost.
St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee means: The group of
22 representatives from municipal governments, St. Louis County, MSD and various state and
regional agencies which developed the Storm Water Management Plan for St. Louis County.
Separate Storm Sewer means: A pipe, conduit, conveyance or system of conveyances
(including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, manmade channels or storm drains) designed and intended to receive and convey
storm water and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined
sewer system.
Storm Water means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the
issuance of NPDES permit MO-R040005.
Sustainable (green) Service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green
operational policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file showing
that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
Urban Runoff means: Storm water and other runoff from streets, parking lots, rooftops,
residential, commercial and industrial areas and any areas that have been rendered
impervious through development activities. Such runoff becomes contaminated with
fertilizers, pesticides, vehicle drippings and emissions, animal wastes, street litter, yard
wastes, silt, chemical spills and other urban wastes. These contaminants are carried through
the separate storm sewers and discharged into area streams where they degrade the water
quality, harm aquatic life and other wildlife, reduce aesthetic and recreational values and
make the waters unsafe for human use.
