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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland's adoption of the work group's model program as
applicable and tailored to specifically meet the City of Oakland's needs and goals. This program
impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Oakland'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 Oakland 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 Resolution No. 2007-02 on May 14th, 2007 (See Appendix 1-
A4).
B. POLICIES:
Not Applicable.
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 Oakland is not engaged in the subject activity.
D. ADMINISTRATION:
The responsible party for administration of the Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Program is the
City Administrator/City Clerk . 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 Oakland 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, when required and appropriate. 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,
when required and appropriate. 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 when required. To maintain proficiency, a schedule of periodic
retraining will be implemented or provisions will be 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 (when required) will be
maintained.

CITY OF OAKLAND- OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
CHAPTER 2: GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING, OPERATION, AND
MAINTENANCE
A. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:
Municipal operations include a variety of activities conducted to maintain City leased property
and facilities. This chapter will cover those activities that are not specifically covered in the
other chapters of this document. This chapter covers custodial and building maintenance
activities, materials management and storage, safe material substitutions, spill plans,
establishment of general O&M procedures, scheduling, record keeping, and housekeeping
practices in general.
This chapter also covers general municipal housekeeping issues, which include illegal dumping,
littering, pet wastes, trash storage, and recycling.
B. LOCATIONS:
NA- The City of Oakland does not have a City Hall or any other municipal facilities. City Hall
staff consists of one full-time employee and two part-time employees who each work from their
respective homes.
C. RESPONSIBLE PARTIES:
The City Administrator/City Clerk has authority over City contractors.
o City Administrator/City Clerk: (314) 416-0026
D. MATERIALS/SUPPLIES ACQUISITION, STORAGE AND USAGE:
NA
F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP):
Facilities:
• 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 non -chemical pest control practices, such as mechanical
and biological controls, when possible, or less toxic products when needed. IPM does not
rely on routine applications of pesticide based on a calendar date.
• Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding grounds)
caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping storm water
drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for mosquito breeding.
Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at: http://ipm.missouri.edu/ipmresources.htm (See
Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)

CHAPTER 5 - FACILITY REPAIR, REMODELING AND CONSTRUCTION
A. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:
On an as -needed basis, repairs and maintenance are contracted out to commercial firms
specializing in the type of work required.
B. LOCATIONS:
City Parks
C. RESPONSIBLE PARTIES:
The City Administrator/City Clerk is the responsible party that will ensure all repairs or
construction will be preformed without subjecting the storm water system to any new
contaminant streams. He/she is responsible for monitoring the construction practices of the
contractors that work for them at these sites.
D. MATERIALS/SUPPLIES ACQUISITION, STORAGE AND USAGE:
The contractor hired by the City is responsible for purchasing and storing materials 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. Tarps should be used on the ground to collect fallen
debris and other spilled material. Waste should be cleaned up on a daily basis and properly
disposed of as noted below in section "E".
E. WASTE GENERATION, STORAGE, DISPOSAL, RECYCLING:
Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically, wastes consist of small amounts of
lumber cut-offs, wallboard scraps, empty paint cans, etc. Order and mix only the amount of
materials necessary for the work to be completed. Dispose of all waste properly, recycle
whenever possible. Never bury waste material or leave material in the street, gutter, or near a
creek or streambed that would allow the material to enter the storm water system. It is the
contractor's responsibility to dispose of such materials in accordance with requirements defined
herein, per the City's Solid Waste Code, and as defined in the contract and/or agreement.
Leaks, drips, or spills should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up using "dry" methods,
absorbent materials or rags, or remove the contaminated soil or material.
Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. Never clean up concrete
equipment or paintbrushes and allow the washout into the street, storm drains, drainage ditches,
or streams.
Page of 86
CITY OF OAKLAND - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROD
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, 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, 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 -Fl for a summary of permit requirements.
Construction/Remolding:
• 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 of by the
City contractor.

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.

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:
bridgework, culverts under road crossings, dredging or placing riprap in creeks. See
Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
De -Icing:
• Use calibrated/controlled chemical applicators for salt and brine applications.
• Minimize the use of salt without compromising public safety.
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs, where equipped.
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
• As available, use road weather information such as weather forecasts, meteorological data,
and pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of resources.
Cleaning:
• Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming, etc.) prior to
roadway flushing on bridges.
• Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking lots and
roadways within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible, focusing on heavy
traffic patterns, seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem areas.
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device and
fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm drain
untreated.

F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP):
Park Design and Sitting:
• Creating undeveloped, natural open space and preserving established trees and other natural
vegetation, particularly around natural drainage areas, such as creeks, is recommended. Tree
buffers and tall grass filters around streams improve water quality, slow runoff and prevent
erosion. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet is recommended.
• Avoid site development and placing facilities in the flood plain.
• Design park sites to preserve natural resources such as wetlands and existing natural draining
areas, minimizing their loss and maintaining existing trees and a riparian corridor next to
creeks to the degree possible. Minimize creek crossings, and place them only after
consideration of the stream features to enable natural flow.
• 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
Page of 86
CITY OF OAKLAND - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGN
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.
• 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
CITY OF OAKLAND
- OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Page of 86
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 area because
they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little natural soil filtering.
• Apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage, and use site specific
rather than wholesale application.
• Read pesticide labels carefully for information and restrictions about the rate, timing, and
placement of the pesticide in that container. Calibrate equipment to apply at the proper rate.
Apply when the threat of rain is low to avoid wasting material and washing pesticide into the
waterways. Carefully calculate how much pesticide concentrate is needed to treat the
specific site with the equipment being used, to eliminate disposal of excess spray mix.
• Store pesticides in their original containers in a cool, well -ventilated building with a concrete
floor. Handle pesticides carefully to avoid spills.
• Dispose of pesticide waste properly, following label instructions.

CHAPTER 8: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF DRAINAGE
CHANNELS, STORM SEWERS AND INLET STRUCTURES
A. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:
The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey surface runoff to receiving waters
during storms in order to prevent flooding. The system consists of improved and unimproved
drainage channels, culverts, bridges, trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers and
storm inlet structures. Maintenance of the system is necessary to ensure it functions
hydraulically as intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance of
improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance responsibilities are defined
in MSD's "Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems and Facilities".
Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining the storm sewer systems on their
property, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD system. In addition, municipalities are
responsible for maintaining bridges, storm culverts, ditches and gutters along the streets in their
city. MSD does maintain road inlets and culverts on systems dedicated to MSD. MSD does not
maintain detention and retention basins or yard swales. Maintenance of basins and yard swales
is the responsibility of property owners, as addressed in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage Facilities".

F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP)
•
General:
• Within budgetary constraints and responsibilities, perform preventative maintenance of the
storm drainage system to remove flow obstructions to reduce flooding and erosion problems
and improve water quality.
• Utilize care in cleaning catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels, to properly collect
and dispose of waste as indicated in Section E to minimize contaminants discharged into
storm water. Note in the work order the volume of waste collected and disposed of.
Investigate into the source of increased maintenance needs, if excessive. When possible,
focus cleaning efforts before rainy seasons.
• If storm inlets/catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non -storm
water discharges or illegal dumping of waste, contact MSD, Division of Environmental
Compliance at 314-436-8710 for investigation and enforcement.
• Implement Phase II public education efforts; public participation efforts to mark inlets with
"No Dumping, Drains to Stream"; or organize public stream clean-up events.
• Identify failing detention or retention basins and report them to MSD Customer Service at
314-768-6260.
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion and
sediment control.
Catch Basins:
• Prioritize catch basins for routine maintenance on a specified frequency based on need.
Identify areas for additional maintenance to coincide with litter from major public events,
and based on work orders generated by customer complaints and/or flooding. Increase
maintenance of inlets that are fully blocked or 75% full of trash or debris when maintained.
Reduce maintenance of catch basins that do not result in waste generation.
• Consider installation of catch basin inlets in areas where storm sewers will be known to
receive excessive amounts of litter or sediment.
Storm Sewers:
• Prioritize storm sewers for routine maintenance on a specified frequency based on flat
grades, low flow, or review of work orders. Identify areas for additional maintenance based
on work orders generated by customer complaints and/or flooding.
• Utilize care in cleaning storm sewers by flushing, to properly collect waste using
debris/sediment traps.

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, 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:
Areas developed within a flood plain will be required to comply with the Flood Plain
Management Regulations of the Oakland Municipal Code.
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 of 86
CITY OF OAKLAND - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROOR3
F. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP):
• 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.

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 shall describe
Page of 86
CITY OF OAKLAND - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PR003441
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.
4.1.1.4 Substances regulated by federal law under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) or the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
CITY OF OAKLAND
- OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Page of 86
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 and that storm water management provisions have been
considered for new or redeveloped municipal properties.

APPENDIX 2-F1
THE CITY OF OAKLAND
WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING POLICY STATEMENT
POLICY
The City of Oakland 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 Oakland 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 when practical and cost effective. Every
City employee has a personal responsibility for implementing this policy.
METHODS TO ACHIEVE SOLID WASTE REDUCTION
• Source Reduction: All members of the City staff are responsible for implementing
operational practices that prevent waste from being produced, when practical and where such
practices will not compromise the mission or end product. 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.
• 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.
• Recycling: All City employees are responsible for separating identified recyclable materials
and placing them in appropriate recycling containers. City Recycling includes, cardboard,
hard back books, newspapers, phone books, catalogs and magazines, brown paper bags, news
blend, office blend,) toner cartridges, and additional items as implemented. .
• Purchase of Recycled Content Material: The City Administrator/City Clerk is responsible
for making efforts to purchase and use products manufactured from or containing recycled
materials.
PROCEDURES
The City Administrator/City Clerk will be responsible for implementing this policy.

APPENDIX 2-F2
THE CITY OF OAKLAND GREEN PROCUREMENT POLICY
POLICY OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this policy is to provide direction for greening City of Oakland procurement.
POLICY STATEMENT:
As set out in this Policy, priority in procurement will be given to green products and services,
including construction.
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.
• Green Product — is one that is less harmful than the alternative, having characteristics
including, but not limited to, the following:
o Recyclable - local facilities exist that are capable of recycling the product at the end of its
useful life.
o Biodegradable - will not take a long time to decompose in landfill.
o Contain recycled material (post -consumer recycled content).
o Minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take -back by the manufacturer/supplier
of packaging.
o Reusable or contain reusable parts.
o Minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
o Produce fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
o Produce the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
o Make efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
o 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.

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

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.

GLOSSARY: DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the City of
Oakland.
Best Management Practice (BMP) — 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 — 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 — An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to multiple
entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis County
Plan Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions relating to
the discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the responsibilities for
which it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share in the financial and
administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each other and with the
coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with meeting the
commitments in the SWMP. The co-permittees are listed in Appendix 1 -Al.
Green Procurement — The procurement of products and services that have a lesser or reduced
effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or
services that serve the same purpose.
Green Product — a product that is less harmful than the next best alternative, having
characteristics such as:
• Being recyclable.
• Being biodegradable.
• Containing recycled material (post -consumer recycled content).
• Having minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take -back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Being reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Having minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.

Municipality — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — The Municipal Work Group defined above.

Recycling Facility — 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 — 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 — 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 — Rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan — 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 — 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.
