Note From The Authors
This document is a Model Operation and Maintenance Program developed to meet the requirements in the St.
Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Storm Water Permit, Section 4.2.6. All co-permittees are required to implement
an Operation and Maintenance Program to comply with their permit. The St. Louis County Phase II Storm
Water Management Plan calls for co-permittees to adopt the program by the end of permit year three, March
9, 2006, and fully implement it by the end of permit year four, March 9, 2007. Under the permit, MSD, as
coordinating authority, must annually report the status of each co-permittees’ compliance with the milestones
in the Plan.
A model program was developed to assist co-permittees in complying with the permit Section 4.2.6, and to
help foster uniform approaches to implementing the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Program. Each co-
permittee must include in their program the applicable elements from the model program, based on the extent
of their infrastructure, municipal facilities and services. In drafting the model program, the authors made an
effort to be as comprehensive as possible in addressing municipal operations by including generic example text
for a variety of municipal operations. However, a co-permittee may add measures as it deems appropriate to
meet its specific needs. Co-permittees are expected to edit the text in this model program to specifically apply
it to their organization by including details, commitments, and policies specific to their organization. To assist
in this editing process, this document contains instructions to the co-permittee editors in A SMALL CAPITAL,
ITALICIZED FONT LIKE THIS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS must be addressed in the document and removed from the text
before finalizing your city’s plan. For additional information on the Best Management Practices (BMPs), please

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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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 Olivette’s adoption of the work group’s model program as applicable
and tailored to specifically meet City of Olivette needs and goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal
operations. It is the City of Olivette’s intent to adhere to the policies and procedures stated herein in order to
prevent pollution, to safeguard the environment for the health and benefit of all (city) employees, residents and
visitors and to serve as a model for the entire regulated area. Where the municipal operations described in
this manual are contracted, rather than performed by municipal employees, the best management practices
(BMPs) will be imposed to the maximum extent practicable on the contractor through purchasing or contract
mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of work or job/service specifications. Contractors will be required
to obtain all applicable local/state/federal environmental permits.
B. Policies:
The City of Olivette prioritizes the purchase of recycled products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower
toxicity; utilization of integrated pest management practices; and other pollution prevention policies.
C. Organization of Manual:
The SWMP prepared for St. Louis County by the Planning Committee contains a detailed listing of BMP
elements that were to be considered when developing a model operation and 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 Olivette is not engaged in the subject activity.
D. Administration:
Page 4 of 39
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 Olivette 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):
Page 10 of 39
FACILITIES
Pool drainage and filter backwash water from chlorinated swimming pools, fountains and lined ponds
must be discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Other chlorinated water from water line or tank
disinfection must also be directed to the sanitary sewer.
Any discharge to surface water of pool or backwash water from pools and ponds must be dechlorinated
prior to discharging into storm sewer system under the conditions of an NPDES permit obtained by the
facility. The NPDES permit requires ceasing chlorination 7 days prior to discharge or using chemical
dechlorination. These discharges to surface water must be approved under local building code, and
not create a nuisance to adjoining property.
Avoid using copper or silver-containing algaecides in pools, fountains and ponds.
Ensure grease traps and oil/water separators in kitchens and food service areas are maintained. Avoid
sanitary sewer grease-blockage by regularly pumping out traps and separators.
Maintain site plumbing plans showing sanitary and storm sewer connections. Ensure wastewater is
discharged only to the sanitary sewer, and storm water to the storm sewer. Label storm drain inlets to
ensure they are used only for storm water drainage.
Minimize the use of pesticides through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program. An IPM
Program uses monitoring of pest populations compared to an action threshold, and then choosing the
proper tactics, using nonchemical pest control practices, such as mechanical and biological controls,
when possible, or less toxic products when needed. IPM does not rely on routine applications of
pesticide based on a calendar date.
Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding grounds) caused by
cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping storm water drainage gutters and
drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for 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.)
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-w/reduce/wstewise/wrr/buyq&a.htm
Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by municipal operations.
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/
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.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
Institute a preventive maintenance program to minimize fluid leaks and equipment failures. Inspect
vehicles and equipment frequently for leaks, collecting leaks with pans or absorbent, and repairing
leaks.
All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at Olivette 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.

washing is required.
B. Locations:
The City of Olivette wash bay facilities are located at the following locations:
1)City Center – Fire Department – Engine Bay – 1140 Dielman Road
2)Public Works Building – 1200 N Price Rd
C. Responsible Parties:
The Facility Superintendent responsible for pool vehicles, (name), is responsible for ensuring that vehicles are
taken off-site to approved commercial facilities for washing, or that washing on (municipality) property is done
in the locations specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is New Systems Car Wash and Wax.
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):
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.
Wash bay facilities are designed to collect wash water, pretreat with a sediment/oil trap (interceptor), and
discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The trap must be pumped quarterly, or as needed.
Wash bays are covered and wash area curbed or otherwise drained to prevent storm water runoff from
discharging to the sanitary system. Uncovered wash bays have an inlet 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.

Chapter 5 - Facility Repair, Remodeling and Construction
A. Description of Activities:
On an as-needed basis, city personnel perform minor renovations/repairs and small capital improvements on
city facilities, such as erecting or removing partitions, replacing a door or window, painting, etc. Major
projects are typically contracted out to commercial firms specializing in the type of work required.
B. Locations:
The Public Works building contains shop and material storage areas for facility repair, remodeling and
construction; and city employees are involved in these activities. Repair, remodeling, construction and capital
improvements are periodically performed on all types of municipal facilities.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Public Works Director 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. They are responsible
for the construction practices of the contractors that work for them on municipal facilities.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Varies with nature of job. Materials are purchased on an as-needed basis and in quantities expected to be
completely consumed in the process of completing the project . Materials used for every project will vary. The
majority of materials are purchased on a project basis and are consumed during that project. Materials should
be stored indoors or under cover so they are protected from rainfall and runoff. All unused portions of
materials should be properly secured to prevent loss, such as bagged cement. Tarps should be used on the
ground to collect fallen debris and other spilled material. Waste should be cleaned up on a daily basis and
properly disposed of as noted below in section “E”. Routinely stocked materials are identified in the following
table.
Material Maximum Quantity Kept Onsite Storage Location
Lumber 150 Linear Feet Public Works Storage Cribs
Drywall 100 Square Feet Public Works Storeroom
Dirt 20 Tons Public Works Yard
Rock 30 Tons Public Works Yard
Oil-Based Paint 10 Gallons Flammable Cabinet
Latex Paint 20 Gallons Public Works Storeroom
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically, wastes consist of small amounts of lumber cut-
offs, wallboard scraps, empty paint cans, etc. Order and mix only the amount of materials necessary for the
work to be completed. Dispose of all waste properly, recycle whenever possible. Never bury waste material
or leave material in the street, gutter, or near a creek or streambed that would allow the material to enter the
storm water system. Such materials are disposed in the city hall dumpster for pick-up by the city contracted
waste hauler. Listed below are the disposal methods for various types of materials that are generated from
facility repairs and remodeling:

Leaks, drips, or spills should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up using “dry” methods, absorbent materials
or rags, or remove the contaminated soil or material.
Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. 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.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, and Parking Facilities
A. Description of Activities:
Most highway 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 20º 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 Olivette Owned road networks or public parking facilities.
C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking lots include:
Public Works Director – (314) 993-2451
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
Page 26 of 39
fiscal responsibility against the immediate and long-range needs for such materials, and adjust their
purchasing habits accordingly.

E. Waste Generation, Storage, Disposal, Recycling:
A certain amount of construction spoil and waste is generated during the performance of maintenance
operations on our road network. Recycling methods are employed if they are determined to be cost-effective;
however, in many instances, waste material must be removed from the work site by various disposal methods.

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.
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.
Page 28 of 39
CLEANING
Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming, etc.) prior to roadway
flushing on bridges.
Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking lots and roadways
within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible, focusing on heavy traffic patterns,
seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem areas. Record the volume of trash/debris removed to
identify the priority of areas being cleaned and the effectiveness of resources used. Investigate to
determine sources of litter in areas of excessive accumulation.
The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device and fugitive dust
control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E above.
Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm drain untreated.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not Applicable
H. Training:
Employees involved in roadway maintenance and repair will be trained on the BMPs in this chapter.

Chapter 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
The City of Olivette has 6 parks totaling nearly 120 acres of land, and over 5 miles of recreational trails.
The City of Olivette has responsibility for the development and maintenance of recreational areas and green
space within the city, including , community gardens, bike and walking paths, 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, seasonal prairie burns, pruning trees, removing fallen
limbs, mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance (repairing asphalt bike path and walking trails),
routine cleaning of park restrooms, and parking lot maintenance.
B. Locations:
Irz Zeid Citizen’s Park – 9100 Old Bonhomme Rd
Stacy Park – 9750 Old Bonhomme Road
Villa Park – 9301 Villa Ave
Warson Park – 9723 Grandview
Indian Meadows Park – 9600 Huron Drive
Recreational Trail – Oak Estates Subdivision to Dielman Road.
Green spaces are interlaced throughout the community and are maintained by the Parks Department and local
volunteers.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Parks and Recreation has authority over all parks. Parks are actively managed by the Parks
Crew Leader. Volunteers donate their time to assist in park maintenance.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The following materials and quantities are typically kept on hand for landscaping and park maintenance
operations.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
PARK DESIGN AND SITING
Creating undeveloped, natural open space and preserving established trees and other natural vegetation,
particularly around natural drainage areas, such as creeks, is recommended. Tree buffers and tall grass
filters around streams improve water quality, slow runoff and prevent erosion. A minimum buffer width of
50 feet is recommended.
Avoid site development and placing facilities in the flood plain.
Design park sites to preserve natural resources such as wetlands and existing natural draining areas,
minimizing their loss and maintaining existing trees and a riparian corridor next to creeks to the degree
possible. Minimize creek crossings, and place them only after consideration of the stream features to
enable natural flow.
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.

Chapter 8 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm Sewers and Inlet Structures
A. Description of Activities:
The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey surface runoff to receiving waters during storms in
order to prevent flooding. The system consists of improved and unimproved drainage channels, culverts,
bridges, trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers and storm inlet structures. Maintenance of the
system is necessary to ensure it functions hydraulically as intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the
cleaning and maintenance of improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance
responsibilities are defined in MSD’s “Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems and
Facilities”. Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining the storm sewer systems on their
property, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD system. In addition, municipalities are responsible for
maintaining bridges, storm culverts, ditches and gutters along the streets in their city. MSD does maintain road
inlets and culverts on systems dedicated to MSD. MSD does not maintain detention and retention basins or
yard swales. Maintenance of basins and yard swales is the responsibility of property owners, as addressed in
MSD’s “Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater
Drainage Facilities”.
B. Locations:
The Storm Sewer System within the Olivette boundaries are maintained by the Metropolitan Sewer District.
C. Responsible Parties:
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
24hr Customer Service, Telephone: (314) 768-6260
Municipality
Public Works Department, Director, Telephone: (314) 993-2451
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The City of Olivette does not have any equipment for sewer maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not Applicable
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
Page 34 of 39
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.
Seal/repair joints in structures to prevent root intrusion and soil wash-out.
Minimize or avoid the use of chemical root/vegetation killers, and use the least toxic alternatives when
necessary.
DRAINAGE CHANNELS
All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill material into a
“water of the United States”, which includes ditches, creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds, and wetlands, requires
a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR 401 water quality certification. Examples of
construction or repair activities requiring a permit include: sewer creek crossings, outfall structures,
stream bank stabilization, and all channel modifications. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit
requirements.
Consider downstream conditions prior to spot channel stabilization efforts to avoid simply moving
problems downstream. Revegetate stabilized areas with native plants whenever possible, and as soon
as possible.
MSD’s Division of Environmental Compliance will inspect all open drainage channels under its Illicit
Discharge Detection Program, and will notify MSD’s Operations Department, St. Louis County, the
municipality or MoDOT, as applicable, regarding maintenance needs concerning damaged structures
or blockages requiring removal.

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:
NOT APPLICABLE
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.
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.
