CITY CL K
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 contact members of the Work Group, in Appendix 1-A3, or refer to EPA Fact Sheets
on the web at: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/poll.cfm.

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 Overland 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 Overland 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 Overland adoption of the work group's model
program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet City of Overland needs and goals.
This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the City of Overland 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 of Overland 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/Ordinance # ) on (May 14,
2012),(See appendix 1-A4).
B. Policies: The City of Overland has adopted several policies regarding the purchase of
recycled products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity; utilization of
integrated pest management practices; and other pollution prevention policies. Copies of
policies are contained in Appendix 1-B1.
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-
Page 4 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
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
(municipality name) is not engaged in the subject activity.
D. Administration: The responsible party for administration of the operation and
maintenance (O&M) program is the Director of Street Operations. 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 Overland 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):
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.
Page 12 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• 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.
• 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.
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Develop a policy to purchase recycled products or products with high post-consumer
waste content whenever practical.
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by
municipal operations.
• Develop policy to purchase environmentally preferred products whenever practical.
• 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 cannot feasibly be covered should be surrounded by a berm
or otherwise contained so that storm water runoff can be captured.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be properly labeled to ensure appropriate handling and disposal.
• Petroleum products, fuels, chemicals, hazardous and toxic materials, and all wastes
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of
storm water from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover
storage containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain
plugs to contain spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if
outdoors,containers should be kept clean and sealed water-tight.
Page 13 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and select areas that are away from storm drain inlets
and streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept clean and
organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure employees are familiar with spill
response procedures and the location of spill kits to enable them to stop the spills at
the source and contain the spilled material. With training on hazards from a material
safety data sheet, minor spills can be addressed by employees, however, significant
spills will require evacuation and contacting emergency responders.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling, and health and safety issues.
• Maintain and post a list of emergency contact numbers for spill reporting and spill
clean-up contractor response, including: Missouri Department of Natural Resources
(MDNR) — 573-634-2436, National Response Center — 800-424-8802, and for
releases to the sewer, MSD — 314-768-6260. Reportable quantities (RQ) for
chemicals are listed on the MSDS, and petroleum RQs include: any amount released
to a storm sewer or waterway causing a sheen, 25 gallons from an underground tank,
and 50 gallons from all other sources.
• Prepare for appropriately handling the cleanup of the spilled material and disposal of
waste. Do not hose down spills to the storm sewer system. Clean up spills with dry
methods, using absorbent to pick up fluids.
• Spill response plans are recommended for all areas of municipal operations. Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure(SPCC)plans are required to meet regulatory
criteria in 40 CFR 112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one
container or 1,320 gallons on site.
• Establish at all municipal facilities materials management and inventory controls to
include the proper identification of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, and
proper labeling of all containers.
• Regular inspections and inventory of material storage and use areas should be
performed to ensure BMPs are being used.
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers
and water-tightness for residential,commercial and industrial areas.
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard
waste disposal, providing for corrective action,enforcement and penalties.
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and equestrian
and animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and other animals.
• Provide pet waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks and other public areas
frequented by pet walkers to promote the proper disposal of pet waste and notify the
public of ordinance requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately-sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and
disposal.

CHAPTER 3 - VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
A. Description of Activities: Fleet maintenance facilities are responsible for the
maintenance and repair of equipment and vehicles ranging from chain saws and light
vehicles to loaders and tandem dump trucks. Preventative maintenance or PM's include
oil and filter changes, tune ups and tire rotations. Repairs include engine and
transmission replacement; brake, suspension or axle repair; and welding work. There are
fueling sites at all of (municipality's) repair facilities. Outside contractors perform
services such as glass repair or replacement and all bodywork.
B. Location: The Street Operations facility is located at 1602 Riddle Court. It is
responsible for approximately XX pieces of equipment. This location has one (1)
welding area and two (2) work bays. All three (3) of the work bays have above ground
lifts. The materials/ supplies used at this facility are all stored inside. The floor drains at
this facility are connected to sediment/ oil traps. The bulk oils and fluids that are used at
the districts are stored inside in 55-gallon drums in a designated area. All bottled oils and
spray chemicals are stored inside in the parts room.
The majority of repair and maintenance work is done inside however, due to the
difficulty in or the inability to move certain pieces of equipment, some work is done at
the job site. The above location performs vehicle and equipment maintenance for all City
departments.
C. Responsible Parties: The Director of Street Operations/Assistant Director of Street
Operations oversees all aspects of fleet administration and operations and is responsible
for the day-to-day operations of the facility.

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 (municipality) facilities are performed
indoors. On occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance work will be
performed in a paved area with provisions made to contain and clean up all drips and
spills.
• Use non-hazardous, environmentally safe products when possible. Avoid use of
chlorinated organic solvents.
• Environmentally safe detergents are used instead of caustic cleaning solutions.
• Flammable liquids are kept in a vented fire-rated cabinet.
• All supply material and waste containers are marked clearly and properly to identify
the contents.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling and health and safety.
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent contact
with rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and are free of standing liquid, and stored
containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other wastes are collected in designated, labeled
containers and recycled to the maximum extent practicable.
• Wheel weights are kept in a container marked "scrap lead".
• Records of waste pick-ups are logged and maintained in file.
• Drain pans are labeled for specific types of fluid. Use pans under vehicles and
equipment with fluid leaks. Always use drip pans when making and breaking
connections.
• Used oil filters should be gravity drained for 24 hrs with the anti-drain back valve or
filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process. Crushing the oil filter and
recycling is preferred.
• Batteries, waste oil, etc. having spill/leak potential are stored indoors and are in
secondary containment, when possible.
• Neutralizer and absorbent are kept by both new and used batteries.
• All floors are clean of oil and grease.
• Immediately clean up all spills of chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods
(absorbents), minimizing the use of water whenever possible.
• Vehicle operators should be instructed to remain with the vehicle during fueling, and
not to top-off the fuel tank to avoid overflows and spills.
• For painting or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp enclosure to contain and capture
material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sand blast waste in the trash for non-
lead based paint, or evaluate lead based paint for hazardous waste disposal.
• Keep the facility and surrounding area clear of litter.
Page 19 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
SPILL PREVENTION
• Spill control plans should be in place with procedures for proper spill response to
minimize environmental impacts. SPCC plans must meet regulatory criteria in 40
CFR 112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one container or
1,320 gallons on site.
• Procedures for loading, unloading and transfer operations should be developed to
prevent overfilling and spills.
• In areas where spills could occur, such as fueling and loading areas, keep spill kits
with absorbent materials nearby and display signage indicating the location of those
spill kits. Storm drain plugs or covers are recommended to prevent the flow of spilled
material from entering the storm drain.
• For fueling areas, post signs that state"no topping off'.
• Regularly inspect all tanks and containers to ensure physical integrity.
• Maintain equipment to ensure the proper operation of automatic shutoff devices on
pumps and, overfill protection and spill buckets on tanks. •
• Emergency phone numbers are clearly posted in the shop and near material storage
areas.
FACILITY
• All floors in work areas are sloped to floor drains that are connected to an MSD-
approved sediment/oil trap prior to discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Trap is
pumped out quarterly,or as needed.
• A site-plumbing schematic showing all drains,traps, and shut offs for utilities should
be posted in shop. Employees should be made aware of sanitary and storm sewers to
ensure all wastewater is discharged to the sanitary sewer.
• Storm drains/inlets can be labeled to help protect from improper usage.
• All above ground storage tanks have secondary containment in accordance with
SPCC requirements and are covered with a roof. If containment is not roofed, inspect
accumulated rain water for contamination prior to discharge.
• Fueling areas are recommended to be designed with a roof to prevent contact with
storm water. The area should be graded and sloped to direct storm water runoff away
from the site and to prevent runoff from flowing over the fueling area.
• Storm water treatment devices can be used to treat runoff from fueling areas.
• "No smoking" signs are posted in the shop, and near hazardous waste and flammable
material storage areas. Verify that fire extinguishers are charged and inspected yearly.
G. NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit status: Vehicle
maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under
the Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES storm water
(Phase I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit R80C. As stated above,
all of (municipality) vehicle repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors or are
otherwise done without exposure to storm water. Therefore, a NPDES Storm Water
permit is not required and a no-exposure certification has been filed with the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources.
H. Training: Training on storm water BMPs will be provided to mechanics, storekeepers,
material handlers, laborers, equipment operators,janitors, and management staff working
Page 20 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
at facilities identified in Section B. All employees will be provided safety training and
training on written procedures pertaining to general housekeeping. Implement monthly
safety meetings to include environmental training and HAZMAT training.

CHAPTER 4 -VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT WASHING
A. Description of Activities: The City of Overland will wash vehicles and equipment at
wash bay facilities designed according to this chapter. At City of Overland facilities
where no wash bay exists, all vehicles and equipment will be taken to commercial
facilities when washing is required.
B. Locations: The City of Overland wash bay facilities are located at the following
locations:
• Street Operations Facility, 1602 Riddle Court
C. Responsible Parties: The Director of Street Operations/Assistant Director of Street
Operations is responsible for ensuring that vehicles are taken off-site to approved
commercial facilities for washing, or that washing on City of Overland property is done
in the locations specified in Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage: The wash soap to be used is Zep
R-4204,55 GAL,Operation Facility - Storage Area #2
E. Wash bay design and waste disposal:_Wash water from vehicle and equipment washing
must be disposed in the MSD sanitary sewer, with pretreatment using a sediment/oil trap.
The accumulated solids in the sediment/oil trap must be pumped out and properly
disposed of, such as at a wastewater treatment plant by an MSD approved waste hauler.
If floating oils and grease accumulate in the sediment/oil trap, the contents must be
disposed by a permitted waste hauler at a commercial facility able to handle oily waste.
F. Best Management Practices(BMPs):
(FOR OFF-SITE WASHING)
• All vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when washing is needed.
• Commercial facilities used are verified to be in compliance with MSD sewer
discharge requirements. Facilities must discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer
system, and wash bays must be covered to prevent storm water in the sanitary system.
(FOR MUNICIPAL WASHING)
• 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.
Page 22 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• 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.
Page 23 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
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: City hall and central garage contain a shop and material storage areas for
facility repair, remodeling and construction; and city employees are involved in these
activities. Repair, remodeling, construction and capital improvements are periodically
performed on all types of municipal facilities.
C. Responsible Parties: The Director of Street Operations/Assistant Director of Street
Operations 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 Max. Qty. on Hand Storage Location
Lumber 300 lineal feet Operation Facility Storage 4
Dirt 20 Ton Operation Facility Storage A
Rock 50 ton Operation Facility Storage A
Oil-Based Paint 30 Gallons Operation Facility Storage 3
Latex Paint 30 Gallons Operation Facility Storage 3
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.
• 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.
• 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
Page 25 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
sediment control BMPs, such as: soil stabilization with mulch or seeding, settling
basins, sediment traps, vegetated buffer strips, and silt fencing for perimeter controls.
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or
fill material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404
permit and a MDNR 401 water quality certification. Waters of the United States
include ditches,creeks, rivers, lakes,ponds and wetlands.
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
• In accordance with city purchasing policies as stated in Chapter 1 and 2, every effort
is made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled materials.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and
cover stored materials to avoid storm water impacts.
• Recycle or properly dispose of wastes, as indicated in Section E above.
• Never clean out or wash out paint or concrete mixers in the street or near a gutter,
storm drain or stream.
• Small quantities of inert demolition wastes and construction scraps are disposed in the
city hall dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a
city-contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pickup trash that can be wind blown daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fire-proof barriers
and doors, roofing material and insulating materials for asbestos content prior to
demolition. Manage material using certified asbestos personnel.
• Utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint on structures older than
1978. Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.
• When scraping or washing to remove non-lead based paint, collect paint chips in a
tarp for proper disposal. Use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint whenever
possible.
• Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the
sanitary sewer,and that storm water is sent to the storm sewer system.
G. NPDES Permit status: Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a Land Disturbance
Permit MO-R100A (if regulated under a Phase II compliant land disturbance program) or
Permit MO-R101 from the MDNR. Storm water operating permits will not apply unless
process water will be discharged to storm water and not to the sanitary sewers.
H. Training: All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling
activities will be trained on the BMPs presented in this chapter. Personnel should be
trained in the items noted below:
• General housekeeping
• Material storage, cleanup, and disposal
• Material reuse and recycling
• Equipment cleanup
• Land disturbance erosion control
Page 26 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
Reduction of material for disposal through storage, reuse, or recycling can greatly reduce
material and disposal costs, long term liability, preserve environmental quality, improve
workplace safety and provide a positive public image.

CHAPTER 6 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF ROADWAYS, HIGHWAYS,
BRIDGES AND PARKING FACILITIES
A. Description of Activities: Most highway agencies and municipalities are responsible for
the cleaning and maintenance of roadways, highways, and parking facilities under their
maintenance purview. Activities include, but may not be limited to, street sweeping,
flushing, applying surface seals, patching, snow removal, and emergency response to
spills and accidents.
Street sweeping operations normally involve self-contained and powered collection
devices, utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work may be performed on a
scheduled basis, or when requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs where
debris can accumulate in the gutter line.
Many agencies flush bridge decks and parking structures in the spring to remove de-icing
chemicals and to clean the drainage structures. Also, flushing operations are performed
on sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates after flooding, creating
hazardous conditions.
Bridge decks and parking structures are normally sealed on a five-to-seven year cycle to
protect the concrete and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or
cold patching material.
Highway agencies plow and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction
during winter snow events. Typically, 200 to 400 pounds of salt per lane mile is used to
de-ice the pavement. Other chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when
prevailing temperatures fall below 20°Fahrenheit.
Most highway agencies are required to respond to emergency situations involving spills
and debris from vehicles. This work is performed if it is determined that the material
which will be removed from the public road right-of-way is of a non-hazardous nature.
Hazardous material is handled through hazardous material removal procedures not
specified in this chapter.
B. Locations: All road networks or public parking structures of the City of St. Louis, Saint
Louis County,and all municipalities within the boundaries of Saint Louis County.
The City is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all city owned streets and
parking facilities within the City of Overland. Maintenance and repairs may include mill
and overlay of streets and parking facilities as well as crack repairs, patch repairs, sealing
and striping, replacing signs. All parking areas are maintained throughout the year,
including snow removal and deicing. schedule overlay and concrete slab replacement.
C. Responsible Parties: The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance
of streets and parking lots include:
Page 28 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• Scott Pope - Director of Street Operations: (314)428-1814
• Rick Wagner—Assistant Director of Street Operations: (314)428-1814
D. Materials/Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage: Large quantities of materials are
expended in the performance of work. Some material is purchased and used
immediately, while other material is stockpiled. Agencies working within the constraints
of their budget weigh fiscal responsibility against the immediate and long-range needs for
such materials, and adjust their purchasing habits accordingly.
Material Max. Qty. For Use Operations Facility

Salt 700 Ton Yearly X
(Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride) 400 gallons Yearly B
Aggregate (various sizes) 60 tons monthly A
Cold-Patching Material 25 tons Yearly A
Topsoil 28 Ton Monthly A
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. See Appendix 5-Fl for a summary of permit requirements.
DE-ICING
• Use calibrated chemical applicators for salt and brine applications.
• Minimize the use of salt without compromising public safety.
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs,where equipped.
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
• As available, use road weather information such as weather forecasts, meteorological
data,and pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of resources.
CLEANING
• Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming, etc.)
prior to roadway flushing on bridges.
• Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking lots
and roadways within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible,
focusing on heavy traffic patterns, seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem
areas. Record the volume of trash/debris removed to identify the priority of areas
being cleaned and the effectiveness of resources used. Investigate to determine
sources of litter in areas of excessive accumulation.
Page 30 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device
and fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E
above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm
drain untreated.
G. NPDES Permit status: Not Applicable
H. Training: Employees involved in Street and I lighway maintenance and repair will be
trained on the BMPs in this chapter.
Page 31 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
CHAPTER 7 - MAINTENANCE OF PARKS, GREEN SPACES, TRAILS AND
LANDSCAPING
A. Description of Activities: The City has (8) Parks totaling 57.25 acres. We also have 1.5
miles of trails.
The City of Overland has responsibility for the development and maintenance of
recreational areas and green space within the city, including neighborhood and regional
parks, community gardens, bike and walking paths, linear and river parks, trees, public
facility landscaping and public street right-of-way landscaping. The city promotes an
interconnected system of open space and trails that facilitates active and passive
recreational opportunities for the community.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of storm water
by providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release
in to streams, storing, filtering and slowing storm water runoff down and thus preventing
or reducing flash flooding downstream. Local governments have an opportunity to use
their park lands to benefit the environment and to demonstrate best practices for storm
water management.
Maintenance activities include mowing of grassy areas, pruning trees, removing fallen
limbs, mulching, emptying trash receptacles, trail maintenance (repairing asphalt bike
path and walking trails), routine cleaning of park restrooms, and parking lot maintenance.
B. Locations:
• Wild Acres Park is located at 10400 Midland Blvd., the park includes a Wilderness
refuge, a 2.5 acre spring-fed lake, trail for walking, butterfly garden and gazebo.
• Norman Myers Park is located at 8700 Lackland Road. The park encompasses 7 acres

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
Page 33 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
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.
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.
Page 34 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and destroying the root zone,
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 activities that require a permit include:
placing culverts in creeks, constructing outfalls, and stream restoration activities. See
Appendix 5-F l for a summary of permit requirements.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• Use Integrated Pest Management (1PM) techniques to minimize the use of pesticides.
Pesticide application should be timed carefully and combined with other pest
management practices. Pests and their development stage should be identified
accurately and pesticide applications made only when necessary, using the least
amount needed and the least toxic product for adequate pest control.
• Use mechanical controls to keep pests in check, such as species specific, pheromone
based traps. Remove pests by hand. Eliminate conditions favorable to pests and
place barriers to control pests and weeds.
• Use natural, biological controls, when feasible, including natural enemies of pests,
such as: predators, parasites, pathogens, pheromones, and juvenile hormones.
• Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding
grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping
storm water drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding.
• 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.
PESTICIDE/HERBICIDE USE
• When pesticide or herbicide use is required, select pesticides carefully, avoiding
highly water soluble and very environmentally stable products to minimize potential
for leaching from soils into waterways. Environmentally friendly products readily
degrade in the environment and/or bind to soil particles.
• Consider the vulnerability of the area in which pesticides are applied, avoiding areas
with streams, ponds, sinkholes or wells. Sinkholes are an environmentally sensitive
area because they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little
natural soil filtering.
• Apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage, and use site
specific rather than wholesale application.
Page 35 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• 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.
G. NPDES Permit status: Not applicable
H. Training: All employees directly involved in the design, construction and maintenance

CHAPTER 8 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF DRAINAGE CHANNELS,
STORM SEWERS AND INLET STRUCTURES
A. Description of Activities: The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey
surface runoff to receiving waters during storms in order to prevent flooding. The
system consists of improved and unimproved drainage channels, culverts, bridges,
trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers and storm inlet structures.
Maintenance of the system is necessary to ensure it functions hydraulically as
intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance of
improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance responsibilities
are defined in MSD's "Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer
Systems and Facilities". Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining
the storm sewer systems on their property, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD
system. In addition, municipalities are responsible for maintaining bridges, storm
culverts, ditches and gutters along the streets in their city. MSD does maintain road
inlets and culverts on systems dedicated to MSD. MSD does not maintain detention
and retention basins or yard swales. Maintenance of basins and yard swales is the
responsibility of property owners, as addressed in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities".
B. Locations: The City of Overland separate storm system includes the following:
• 2837 W. Milton (Legion Park): Disposal holding area that has one drain.
Maintained by the Department of Street Operation. It is checked for clogs and
standing water after heavy rains.
• 1655 Woodson Road (Woodson Road Park): 400 feet of drainage ditch that runs
through the park. It is checked, weekly, for trash and other debris by the Overland
Parks Dept.
• 9625 Spencer Avenue (Brooks Park): 60 feet of drainage ditch that runs through
the park. It is checked, weekly, for trash and other debris by the Overland Parks
Dept.
• 10300 Clarendon Avenue (Mort Jacobs Park): 800 Feet of drainage ditch that runs
through the park is checked weekly for trash and other debris as well as tall grass.

Page 37 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage: The City of
Overland has zero (0) Vactors for cleaning inlets and zero (0) hydroflush units for
cleaning storm sewers. Further the City of Overland has zero (0) hoist trucks or front
end loaders for maintenance in channels. Contractors are used for clearing brush
blockages.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling: Wastes generated from
maintenance of the storm drainage system must be disposed of properly, as indicated
in the table. All waste being disposed of in a landfill must not contain free liquid.
Water draining from waste destined for a sanitary landfill is considered wastewater
and must be disposed of in a sanitary sewer system.

Channel Cleaning
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.
Page 38 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• 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.
Page 39 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
MUNICIPAL DETENTION BASINS
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum
extent practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and
Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and
Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
• Inspect facilities to insure proper operation and maintain as needed, including:
trash and debris removal, vegetation control, vector control, structural and erosion
repair, and sediment removal to restore capacity.
G. NPDES Permit status: Not applicable
H. Training: MSD collection system operators, contractors and municipal employees
involved in maintenance of drainage systems will be trained on the BMPs in this
chapter.

CHAPTER 9 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF RECYCLING AND
COMPOSTING FACILITIES
*(NOTE:FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CHAPTER, RECYCLING INCLUDES YARD WASTE/MULCHING/COMPOSTING OPERATIONS
AS WELL AS SITES COLLECTING COMMON HOUSEHOLD RECYCLABLES SUCH AS PAPER,PLASTIC,GLASS, CARDBOARD,ETC.
A. Description of Activities: The City of Overland does not currently operate such a
facility.
B. Locations: The City of Overland does not currently operate such a facility.
C. Responsible Parties: The City of Overland does not currently operate such a facility.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage: The City of Overland does not
currently operate such a facility.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling: The City of Overland does not
currently operate such a facility.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP): The City of Overland does not currently
operate such a facility however the City of Overland does acknowledge the need to
adhere to BMP should the City consider the operation of such a facility.
• Yard waste composting operations and mulch piles should be located away from
storm water drainage systems,and must not be located within 100 feet of a natural
creek or man-made storm water drainage channel, 300 feet from a water well or
1,000 feet from a sinkhole, under MDNR permit G97.
• Compost/mulch is confined by an impervious base with curbing or otherwise
stored to prevent leachate and runoff from contaminating storm water, and to
prevent storm water drainage running into the pile.
• Do not discharge leachate to storm water. As necessary to manage leachate,
design a system to collect and properly treat leachate or incorporate into the early
stages of the composting process.
• Materials that will pollute storm water are collected under a roofed structure or in
an enclosed dumpster.
• The public is notified by signage at the facility that lists materials accepted at the
facility and those unauthorized items that are not acceptable.
• Attendants are on duty to monitor use of the facility and to ensure unauthorized
items are not deposited by the public.
• The Police Department routinely patrols the facility to prevent unauthorized
dumping.
• No fluids are drained into any storm water system.
• Every effort is made to ensure the facility is clean and that no unauthorized or
contaminated materials are deposited at the facility.
• Materials easily moved by wind must be stored in a manner to prevent the
material from becoming airborne and scattered.
• An emergency phone is available at the site for attendants to promptly report any
problems to the supervisors or the Police.
Page 41 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• Drums or containers of oil, petroleum products or hazardous materials are not
accepted. Also drums or containers that have previously contained these
substances are unacceptable for recycling at the facility.
G. NPDES Permit status: Recycling Center: Facilities involved in the recycling or
composting of materials are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under
Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES Storm Water
(Phase I) permitting requirements, unless they are collection points only and
completely protected from storm water (run-on and run-off). Potentially applicable
MDNR NPDES General Permits include: R8OH for Recycling facilities and G97 for
Yard Waste Compost sites. As noted above, all of the city's recyclable collection and
handling activities are conducted indoors or are otherwise conducted without
exposure to storm water. Therefore, an NPDES Storm Water permit is not required
for the Recycling Center. A "no-exposure certification" has been filed with the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
H. Training: All City employees attending to the operation or using the recycling and
composting facility will undergo initial City-provided training upon employment. All
employees are regularly instructed on the use of equipment and handling of problem
situations.
Page 42 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
CHAPTER 10 - WATER QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF FLOOD
MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
A. Description of Activities: New flood management projects located within the co-
permittees jurisdiction must be assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing
projects must be assessed for incorporation of additional water quality protection
devices or practices, where feasible. Flood management projects in the Plan Area can
include: regional storm water control (retention basins, detention basins); flood
control levees and associated pump stations; storm water drainage conveyance
capacity improvements; projects involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood
plain land.
Storm water management projects in both development and re-development will be
assessed for water quality impact, according to MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Stormwater Drainage Facilities", which
address the Storm Water Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM
5. Projects within designated levee districts, such as Monarch-Chesterfield, Earth City
and Riverport will be based on the Storm Water Master Plan for these districts. All
flood management projects involving channel modification will also be assessed for
aquatic and water quality impacts through the Corps of Engineers 404 permit and
MDNR 401 water quality certification process.
B. Locations: Existing projects located within the Plan Area include:
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.
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum
extent practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and
Page 43 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and
Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
• Design new flood management projects to prevent or minimize adverse water
quality impacts, exploring alternative programs utilizing non-structural flood
damage reduction and stream bank stabilization measures to the maximum extent
practicable, such as flood proofing houses, and buy outs.
• Use models based on fully developed conditions, and adopt a free board above
base flood elevation for development.
• Identify existing wetlands or other natural open space areas, particularly around
streams, and preserve them from development so they can provide natural
attenuation, retention or detention of runoff.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential
water quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Work closely with local governments, environmental organizations and others to
develop multi-use open space corridors along streams which will allow for
overbank floodplain storage.
• Floodplains are preserved to the maximum extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent
practicable, utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open storm water conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent
practicable to preserve natural conditions and habitat.
• Channel improvement projects are to use natural approaches rather than concrete,
riprap or other"hard"techniques to the maximum extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to
minimize scour and erosion.
• Trash racks are provided at outlet structures of detention ponds and other flood
control structures to capture trash and floatables.
• Employ natural solutions and use controls that preserve the hydrology of a site as
a first line of flood control to the maximum extent practicable.
G. NPDES Permit status:Not applicable
H. Training: Employees and contractors responsible for the planning and design of the
flood management projects identified in Section A will be trained on the BMPs in this
chapter. In addition, employees performing this work will be familiar with MSD's
rules and regulations and engineering design requirements for storm water drainage
facilities.

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 Liability Act (CERCLA) that are transported, stored, or used
Page 48 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
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 5-Fl: Corps of Engineers 404 Permit & MDNR 401 Certification
All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States" requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. The permitting and certification process is shared
between the Corps and the MDNR.
If you are considering a project that may involve placing materials in a lake, river, stream, ditch
or wetland (including dry streams, ditches or wetlands) contact the Corps to find out if the
project you are planning is in jurisdictional waters and is a regulated activity. The Corps has the
sole authority, to determine whether the activity is regulated; whether a site specific, individual
404 permit is required, or whether a Nationwide Permit (NWP) applies for projects with minor
impacts. If a NWP does apply, contacting the Corps of Engineers is recommended to determine
thresholds for notification under the NWP, and to obtain additional regional requirements
imposed by the Corps' St. Louis Office.
The MDNR requires any project that needs a 404 Permit from the Corps (individual or NWP) to
also obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification (401 Certification) from MDNR. The 401
Certification is verification by the state that the project will not violate water quality standards.
The department may require actions on projects to protect water quality in the form of
certification conditions. For some of the NWPs, the MDNR has published their conditions that
must be met in addition to the NWP conditions.
After you contact the Corps about your project and, if applicable, submit an application, they will
send you a letter authorizing your project under a particular permit. If the Corp's letter to you
indicates that you must obtain an individual 401 certification, you must send an application to
MDNR also. If they state that MDNR has `conditionally certified' your activity, and have
enclosed certification conditions, then nothing further is needed.
Questions about permit applicability and procedures for obtaining individual permits can be
found by calling the Corps of Engineers at 314-331-8575 or 314-331-8186. Permit application
forms and procedures for applying to the Corps and the MDNR can be found on the following
web pages:
http://www.mvs.usace.army.mi l/permits/permitap.htm.
http://www.dnr.mo.gov/wpscd/wpcp/401/wpcp-401.htm#general.
The following is a list of NWPs commonly applicable to municipal operations. For most of
these NWPs, the MDNR has conditionally certified these activities. The NWPs will list
numerous thresholds for applicability and notification in terms of linear feet and acreage of the
project.
• NWP 3 Maintenance — repair or replacement of an existing structure, and removal of
accumulated sediment or placement of riprap to protect a structure.
Page 59 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• NWP 7 Outfall Structures — construction of new outfall and intake structures, and
removal of accumulated sediment blocking these structures.
• NWP 12 Utility Lines — construction, maintenance, and repair of utility lines (sewer,
water, electric or communication), including outfalls and excavations for the utility
line.
• NWP 13 Bank Stabilization—stabilization projects for erosion protection.
• NWP 14 Linear Transportation— construction or modification of linear transportation
crossings, such as bridges and culverts for roads and trails.
• NWP 27 Stream and Wetland Restoration Activities — activities associated with the
restoration of former waters, or the enhancement or creation of wetlands and riparian
areas, or the restoration and enhancement of streams, including activities associated
with flow modification,habitat and vegetation.
• NWP 31 Maintenance of Existing Flood Control Facilities — dredge or fill activities
associated with maintaining existing flood control facilities such as
retention/detention basins and channels.
• NWP 41 Reshaping Existing Drainage Ditches—dredge or fill activities to modify the
cross-sectional configuration of drainage ditches, not modifying capacity beyond the
original design.
• NWP 43 Storm Water Management — construction, maintenance, and dredging of
storm water management facilities, such as ponds, detention/retention basins, outfalls,
and emergency spillways.

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
(municipality).
Best Management Practice (BMP) means: Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of
streams within St. Louis County from urban runoff. BMPs also include treatment requirements,
operating procedures and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste
disposal or drainage from raw material storage. BMPs may be structural or non-structural. (This
definition adapted from Section (1)(C)1 of Missouri Storm Water Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200)
Coordinating Authority means: The municipal entity, which is one of the co-permittees to a
state issued Phase II storm water permit, that is recognized by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) as the party which will coordinate the activities of all of the co-
permittees in meeting the requirements of the permit. For the St. Louis County Plan Area, the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) has been identified in the permit as the
coordinating authority for the 61 co-permittees. One of the coordinating authority's
responsibilities is to prepare and submit an annual report to the MDNR on the status of
compliance of all 61 co-permittees with the permit and approved SWMP.
Co-permittee means: An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to
multiple entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis
County Plan Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions
relating to the discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the
responsibilities for which it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share in
the financial and administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each other
and with the coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with meeting
the commitments in the SWMP. The co-permittees are listed in Appendix 1-Al.
Green Procurement - the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or reduced
effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or
services that serve the same purpose.
Green Product — a product that is less harmful than the next best alternative, having
characteristics such as:
• Being recyclable.
• Being biodegradable.
• Containing recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Having minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Being reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Having minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
Page 61 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Making efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more efficiently
or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Being durable or having a long economically useful life and/or can be economically repaired
or upgraded.
Green Space - planned and preserved open land; an interconnected system of open land,
determined to have cultural, ecological, developmental, agricultural, and/or recreational value.
Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP)—the technology-based discharge standard for Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges that was
established by CWA §402 (p). A discussion of MEP as it applies to regulated small MS4s is
found at 40 CFR 122.34.
MCMs means: Minimum Control Measures. The six MCMs are: Public education and outreach;
Public participation/involvement; Illicit discharge, detection and elimination; Construction site
runoff control; Post-construction site runoff control; and Pollution prevention/good
housekeeping.
Municipal Industrial Facility means: An industrial facility, as defined in the federal and state
storm water regulations, which is owned or operated by a municipality. The regulations define
covered industrial facilities by their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes as published
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. From this extensive list of covered SIC codes,
the following operations have been identified as those most likely to be owned or operated by a
municipality: Transportation Operations, Landfills, Hazardous Waste
Treatment/Storage/Disposal facilities, Vehicle Maintenance or Fueling facilities, Vehicle
Washing facilities, Solid Waste Transfer facilities, Wastewater Treatment facilities, Recycling
facilities, Yard Waste/Composting facilities and certain types of Warehousing & Storage
facilities.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) means: A conveyance or system of
conveyances including roads and highways with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch
basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, paved or unpaved channels or storm drains designated and utilized
for routing of storm water which is contained within the municipal corporate limits or is owned
and operated by the state, city, town, village, county, district, association or other public body
created by or pursuant to the laws of Missouri having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage,
industrial waste, storm water or other liquid wastes and is not a part or portion of a combined
sewer system. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)16 of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200). Each of the 61 co-permittees operates its own MS4. In addition,
the term is used to refer to the entire St. Louis County Plan Area which is identified in the Phase
II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Municipal Work Group means: A group of municipal representatives organized under the
provisions of Chapter 14 of the St. Louis County SWMP to develop a model Operation and
Maintenance Program and a Training Program for the 61 co-permittees in order to comply with
the provisions of Section 4.2.6.1.1 of the Plan Area Phase II storm water permit. The work
group members are listed in Appendix I-A3.
Page 62 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
Municipality means: Any public entity as described in the definition of Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System. St. Louis County and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District are
considered"municipalities"for the purposes of the Phase II storm water permit along with the 59
cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees. The Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT) is also a "municipality" and operates an MS4 within the Plan Area. However,
MoDOT is covered by a separate state permit and is not a co-permittee under the St. Louis
Metropolitan Small MS4 permit.
NPDES means: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This term was introduced in
Section 402 of the federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (last amended in 1987 and now
known as the Clean Water Act). Section 402 provides for the issuance of NPDES permits for the
discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States and specifies the conditions under which
permits may be issued. The 1987 amendments established the phased permitting requirements
for municipal storm water discharges. In Missouri, the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources has been delegated the authority to issue NPDES permits.
Phase I means: The first phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
December 17, 1990. Phase I regulations provide for storm water permitting for industrial
facilities, for land disturbance sites 5 acres or greater in size and for MS4s having populations
greater than 100,000 (medium and large MS4s). Industrial facilities operated by municipalities,
regardless of size,are included under Phase I. See definition of"Municipal Industrial Facility."
Phase II means: The second phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
February 7, 2000. Phase II regulations provide for storm water permitting for MS4s, in
urbanized areas as defined by the Bureau of the Census, with populations below 100,000 (Small
MS4s) and for land disturbance sites between 1 acre and 5 acres in size. Each of the individual
municipal entities within the St. Louis County Plan Area has a population below 100,000 and is,
therefore,a Small MS4 subject to Phase II requirements.
Phase II Permit means: Storm water permit # MO-R040005 with effective date of March 10,
2003, issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to the 61 St. Louis County co-
permittees. This permit was issued pursuant to the provisions of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200.
Plan Area means: The portion of St. Louis County served by separate storm sewers and within
the corporate boundaries of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. The Plan Area includes
the 59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees as well as unincorporated St. Louis
County. While there are a total of 77 municipalities in the Plan Area, 18 have populations of less
than 1000 and are therefore, exempt from the Phase II permitting requirements, per Section
(1)(C)22 of Missouri storm water regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200. The City of St. Louis and twelve
county municipalities adjoining the City of St. Louis are served by combined sewers and are not
part of the Plan Area. The Plan Area is identified in the Phase II permit as the St. Louis
Metropolitan Small MS4.
Plan Area Training Committee means: The Municipal Work Group defined above.
Page 63 of 66 Adopted May 14,2012
Recycling Facility means any co-permittee-owned or operated facility which collects, for
recycling, common household recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, etc. or which
collects and processes yard wastes for use as mulch or compost.
St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee means: The group of 22
representatives from municipal governments, St. Louis County, MSD and various state and
regional agencies which developed the Storm Water Management Plan for St. Louis County.
Separate Storm Sewer means: A pipe, conduit, conveyance or system of conveyances
(including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches,
manmade channels or storm drains) designed and intended to receive and convey storm water
and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined sewer system.
Storm Water means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the issuance
of NPDES permit MO-R040005.
Sustainable (green) Service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green operational
policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file showing
that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
Urban Runoff means: Storm water and other runoff from streets, parking lots, rooftops,
residential, commercial and industrial areas and any areas that have been rendered impervious
through development activities. Such runoff becomes contaminated with fertilizers, pesticides,
vehicle drippings and emissions, animal wastes, street litter, yard wastes, silt, chemical spills and
other urban wastes. These contaminants are carried through the separate storm sewers and
discharged into area streams where they degrade the water quality, harm aquatic life and other
wildlife, reduce aesthetic and recreational values and make the waters unsafe for human use.
(EACH CO-PERMITTEE CAN ADD DEFINITIONS OF ANY TERMS APPLICABLE TO ITS SPECIFIC NEEDS.
