Page 2 of 80
Note From the Authors
This document is a Model Operation and Maintenance Program template developed to meet
the requirements in the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Stormwater Permit, Section 4.2.6.
All co-permittees are required to implement an Operation and Maintenance Program to
comply with their permit. Stormwater 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. For
additional information on the Best Management Practices (BMPs), please contact the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Division of Environmental Compliance at 314-436-8710.

Chapter 1- Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Stormwater Permit
MO-R040005 to the University City effective December 14, 2016. The area served by the 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, MCM 6 section of
the permit 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 Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4
Stormwater is implemented under the Phase II permit. As a co-permittee under the state
permit the University City is bound by the commitments contained in the SWMP. The SWMP
requires a model operation and maintenance program template and that each co-permittee
implement a written operation and maintenance program.
This document represents the University City implementation of the model operation and
maintenance program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet University City needs
and goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the University City
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 University 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:
University City 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. University City has sections of municipal
code related to its sanitation services. Copies of policies are contained in Appendix 1-B1.
C. Organization Manual
The SWMP contains 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-
Page 8 of 80
applicability is contained in those chapters where the University City is not engaged in the
subject activity.
D. Administration:
The responsible party for administration of the operation and maintenance (O&M) program is
the Director of Public Works. This person is responsible for ensuring the program is kept up to
date, and that employees are trained on the procedures implementing the program.
University City will train all staff associated with activities that can impact pollution in
stormwater runoff. Each chapter will identify employees who should be subject to training on
that particular chapter. Employees will receive general stormwater pollution prevention
training provided by the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. Upon implementation of specific
procedures, management will review the new procedures that incorporate stormwater 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.
Records documenting the training of employees and contractors must be maintained in file.

(THE FOLLOWING BMP’S ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE)
FACILITIES
Page 11 of 80
• 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 stormwater to the storm
sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for stormwater 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
stormwater drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
https://ipm.missouri.edu/pubs/ (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:
https://extension2.missouri.edu/MX399 (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 https://www.epa.gov/smm/wastewise
(See Appendix 2-F1 for a sample waste reduction and recycling policy.)
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by municipal
operations. (See the policy in Appendix 2-F1.)
• Develop policy to purchase environmentally preferred products whenever practical. For
a “Database of Environmental Information for Products and Services,” see EPA
website: https://www.gsa.gov/governmentwide-initiatives/sustainability/buy-green-
products-services-and-vehicles
(See Appendix 2-F2 for a sample green procurement policy or
Page 12 of 80
https://www.dgs.pa.gov/Businesses/Materials%20and%20Services%20Procurement/Pr
ocurement-Resources/Pages/Green-Procurement.aspxProvide 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 stormwater runoff.
• Material stockpiles which cannot feasibly be covered should be surrounded by a berm
or otherwise contained so that stormwater runoff can be captured.
Page 13 of 80
• 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
stormwater from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover
storage containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain
plugs to contain spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if
outdoors, containers should be kept clean and sealed water-tight.
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and select areas that are away from storm drain inlets and
streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept clean and
organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately. Ensure employees are familiar with spill
response procedures and the location of spill kits to enable them to stop the spills at
the source and contain the spilled material. With training on hazards from a material
safety data sheet, minor spills can be addressed by employees, however, significant
spills will require evacuation and contacting emergency responders.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling, and health and safety issues.
• Maintain and post a list of emergency contact numbers for spill reporting and spill
clean-up contractor response, including: Missouri Department of Natural Resources
(MDNR) – 573-634-2436, National Response Center – 800-424-8802, and for releases
to the sewer, MSD – 314-768-6260. Reportable quantities (RQ) for chemicals are listed
on the MSDS, and petroleum RQs include: any amount released to a storm sewer or
waterway causing a sheen, 25 gallons from an underground tank, and 50 gallons from
all other sources.
• Prepare for appropriately handling the clean-up of the spilled material and disposal of
waste. Do not hose down spills to the storm sewer system. Clean up spills with dry
methods, using absorbent to 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.
Page 14 of 80
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers and
water-tightness for residential, commercial and industrial areas. (See Appendix 2-F3
for language from the St. Louis County Waste Management Code.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard waste
disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties. (See Appendix 2-
F4 and 2-F5 for Model Ordinances.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and equestrian
and animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and other animals.
(See Appendix 2-F6 for Model Ordinance).
• Provide pet waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks and other public areas
frequented by pet walkers to promote the proper disposal of pet waste and notify the
public of ordinance requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately-sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and disposal.
• Educate citizens on trash and pet waste issues to promote compliance with ordinances
using available methods such as resident newsletters, brochures, internet sites, storm
drain marking projects, etc.
• Promote and assist in neighborhood and stream clean-up activities.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances against illegal discharges to stormwater from
sources such as failing septic tanks, septic tanks discharging to stormwater, etc.
Ordinances to address illegal connections of sanitary sewers should be at least as
stringent as the Missouri Department of Health regulations in 19 CSR 20-3 and County
requirements, such as St. Louis County Plumbing Code Section 1103.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances requiring the proper maintenance of septic
tanks and other small onsite sewage disposal systems. For a model ordinance, see:
http://www.anjec.org/pdfs/Ord-ModelSeptic.pdf
O&M PROGRAM
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules
and long-term inspection procedures in accordance with this program manual with
emphasis on safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws and good
environmental stewardship.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed

C. Responsible Parties:
The Fleet Manager oversees all aspects of fleet administration and operations. The Fleet
Services Supervisor is responsible for the day-to-day operations of vehicle/equipment repair,
maintenance, and washing and the central garage in general.
D. Best Management Practices (BMP):
(THE FOLLOWING BMP’S ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE)
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.
Page 17 of 80
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent contact with
rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and are free of standing liquid, and stored
containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other wastes are collected in designated, labeled
containers and recycled to the maximum extent practicable.
• Wheel weights are kept in a container marked “scrap lead”.
• Records of waste pick-ups are logged and maintained in file.
• Drain pans are labeled for specific types of fluid. Use pans under vehicles and
equipment with fluid leaks. Always use drip pans when making and breaking
connections.
• Used oil filters should be gravity drained for 24 hrs with the anti-drain back valve or
filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process. Crushing the oil filter and
recycling is preferred.
• Batteries, waste oil, etc. having spill/leak potential are stored indoors and are in
secondary containment, when possible.
• Neutralizer and absorbent are kept by both new and used batteries.
• All floors are clean of oil and grease.
• Immediately clean up all spills of chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods
(absorbents), minimizing the use of water whenever possible.
• Vehicle operators should be instructed to remain with the vehicle during fueling, and
not to top-off the fuel tank to avoid overflows and spills.
• For painting or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp enclosure to contain and capture
material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sand blast waste in the trash for non-
lead-based paint, or evaluate lead-based paint for hazardous waste disposal.
• Keep the facility and surrounding area clear of litter.
SPILL PREVENTION
• Spill control plans should be in place with procedures for proper spill response to
minimize environmental impacts. SPCC plans must meet regulatory criteria in 40 CFR
112 for sites with a storage capacity over 660 gallons oil in one container or 1,320
gallons on site.
• Procedures for loading, unloading and transfer operations should be developed to
prevent overfilling and spills.
• 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.
Page 18 of 80
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
stormwater. The area should be graded and sloped to direct stormwater runoff away
from the site and to prevent runoff from flowing over the fueling area.
• Stormwater 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.
E. NPDES Permit status:
F. Training:

Chapter 4- 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 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 local road networks or public parking structures of University City. The Street Maintenance
Division is responsible for the signing, marking and maintenance of all 96.6 miles of public
city-controlled streets and related facilities, including repairs, traffic control, street sweeping,
leaf collection, and snow/ice removal. In addition, this division is responsible for the
maintenance of bridges and other structures.
Page 20 of 80
C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Public Works has authority over all local roads and parking facilities. Local roads
and parking facilities are actively managed by the Superintendent of Streets.
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.
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 stormwater 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 stormwater 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 Stormwater Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion
and sediment control.
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or
fill material into a “water of the United States”, which includes ditches, creeks, rivers,
lakes, ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR
401 water quality certification. Examples of construction or repair activities requiring a
permit include: bridge work, culverts under road crossings, dredging or placing rip rap
in creeks. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
Page 21 of 80
DE-ICING
• Use calibrated chemical applicators for salt and brine applications.
• Minimize the use of salt without compromising public safety.
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs, where equipped.
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
• As available, use road weather information such as weather forecasts, meteorological
data, and pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of resources.
CLEANING
• Remove as much mud, grit, salt and debris as possible (by scraping, brooming, etc.)
prior to roadway flushing on bridges.
• Evaluate the need for street sweeping to remove grit and trash at facility parking lots
and roadways within jurisdiction. Implement street sweeping, when feasible, focusing
on heavy traffic patterns, seasonal variations (spring/fall), and problem areas. Record
the volume of trash/debris removed to identify the priority of areas being cleaned and
the effectiveness of resources used. Investigate to determine sources of litter in areas
of excessive accumulation.
• The environmentally preferred sweepers are those with an integral collection device
and fugitive dust control. Properly dispose of trash/debris as indicated in Section E
above.
• Do not hose down parking lots in a manner that discharges wash water to the storm
drain untreated.

Chapter 5- Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and
Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
University City has 20 green spaces totaling 201 acres of land that consist of parks, trails, and
walkways.
University City 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 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 stormwater by
providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release in to
streams, storing, filtering and slowing stormwater 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 stormwater 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.

C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry has authority over all parks. Parks are actively
managed by the Superintendent of Parks Operations.
D. Best Management Practices (BMP):
(THE FOLLOWING BMP’S ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE)
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 stormwater 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 stormwater flow. Fact
Sheets on stormwater management practices are available from the Stormwater
Manager’s Resource Center at the following web site:
https://www.sustainable.org/environment/water/319-stormwater-managers-resource-
center-smrc
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Page 24 of 80
• 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 pick up and properly dispose of pet waste in parks. Provide pet
waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks to notify visitors of the requirement.
• Control wild geese populations near lakes with “no feeding the geese” signs and
ordinances. Other techniques to control populations include habitat modification by
increasing shoreline vegetation height, scare tactics or relocation.
PARK/LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
• Remove litter and debris regularly.
• Properly dispose of yard waste, for example, by composting. Do not dump yard waste
into creeks.
• Minimize mowing of open space sites, depending on site objectives.
• Mow grass higher and leave grass clippings on the lawn to retain moisture and provide
nutrients.
• Remove exotic invasive vegetation and replace with native plantings as resources are
available.
• Perform soil tests to determine the optimum fertilizer application rate.
• Apply fertilizer only in cool weather, preferably fall. Avoid application before a rain, and
do not apply fertilizer at rates higher than indicated in on label instructions. Apply slow
release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU or resin coated fertilizer.
• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and destroying the root zone,
employ BMPs for erosion and sediment control. For details concerning these BMPs,
see the SWPPP link on the following web page:
https://www.stlouisco.com/YourGovernment/PublicWorks/Permits/LandDisturbance All
construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a “water of the United States”, which includes ditches, creeks, rivers,
lakes, ponds and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR
401 water quality certification. Examples of activities that require a permit include:
placing culverts in creeks, constructing outfalls, and stream restoration activities. See
Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize the use of pesticides.
Pesticide application should be timed carefully and combined with other pest
management practices. Pests and their development stage should be identified
accurately and pesticide applications made only when necessary, using the least
amount needed and the least toxic product for adequate pest control.
Page 25 of 80
• 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
stormwater drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
https://ipm.missouri.edu/pubs/ Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated
Pest Management technique for weed control. This includes practices that keep plants
healthy, such as selecting disease and pest resistant varieties and maintaining good
growing conditions. For turf grass, prevention of weed infestation begins with practices
to promote healthy grass through proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing,
aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU Extension Publication IPM1009:
https://extension2.missouri.edu/MX399
PESTICIDE/HERBICIDE USE
• When pesticide or herbicide use is required, select pesticides carefully, avoiding highly
water soluble and very environmentally stable products to minimize potential for
leaching from soils into waterways. Environmentally friendly products readily degrade
in the environment and/or bind to soil particles.
• Consider the vulnerability of the area in which pesticides are applied, avoiding areas
with streams, ponds, sinkholes or wells. Sinkholes are an environmentally sensitive
area, because they allow surface water to reach groundwater quickly with little natural
soil filtering.
• Apply pesticides when the target pest is at its most vulnerable life stage, and use site
specific rather than wholesale application.
• Read pesticide labels carefully for information and restrictions about the rate, timing,
and placement of the pesticide in that container. Calibrate equipment to apply at the
proper rate. Apply when the threat of rain is low to avoid wasting material and washing
pesticide into the waterways. Carefully calculate how much pesticide concentrate is
needed to treat the specific site with the equipment being used, to eliminate disposal of
excess spray mix.
• Store pesticides in their original containers in a cool, well-ventilated building with a
concrete floor. Handle pesticides carefully to avoid spills.
• Dispose of pesticide waste properly, following label instructions.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Stormwater Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, prevent erosion of soil from
bare ground at the site by employing erosion and sediment control BMPs, such as: soil
stabilization with mulch or seeding, settling basins, sediment traps, vegetated buffer
strips, and silt fencing for perimeter controls. For details concerning these BMPs, see

Chapter 6- Transfer Station Solid Waste Management Plan
1.0 Operations
1.1 Solid Waste Inspection, Acceptance, Handling, and Removal
Vehicle Scaling
All vehicles delivering or shipping waste will cross the University City Transfer Station scale. The scale
software and hardware equipment located in the Sanitation office will account for all inbound and
outbound waste shipments. All weights will be monitored electronically by computerized software
located in the same office. In the event that a trailer is loaded beyond the weight limit for roadway
passage, the trailer will be required to return to the transfer station building and unload the necessary
material.
Monitoring and Inspections
Prohibited and unacceptable waste materials will be restricted from the University City Transfer Station
through appropriate signs at the entrances to the site and through visual inspection by personnel.
Facility personnel shall be thoroughly trained in the handling of acceptable/unacceptable waste and in
all aspects applicable to their job. All personnel involved in handling of material at the site will be
trained to identify unauthorized material, and carry out the appropriate measures as required by
University City Transfer Station policy in accordance with Local, State and Federal Regulations.
Unacceptable waste that is discovered prior to unloading will be turned away. If unacceptable waste is
discovered after it has been unloaded it will be isolated and removed by owner. If the owner cannot be
identified, the unacceptable waste will be isolated and removed within 24 hours for putrescible waste
and within 7 days for non-- putrescible waste by a City staff, or authorized contractor that is capable of
handling said material.
The Transfer Station equipment will be monitored and inspected for malfunctions, wear, operator
errors and spills or discharges that may cause an impact on the environment or public safety.
Any identified hazards revealed by the inspections will be immediately remedied. If a potential hazard
is imminent or has already occurred, action will be taken. The corrective actions will be reported to the
appropriate agency, when applicable. All inspections will be recorded and kept on site.
Determination of Acceptable Waste
The Transfer Station operation will accept non-hazardous residential waste, yard waste, tree brush in
limited quantity, batteries and tires generated by on-site fleet maintenance staff to be recycled.
Construction and demolition debris may be accepted by various University City divisions on a
temporary basis only. Hazardous and infectious wastes such as asbestos, radioactive and nuclear
wastes as well as chemicals, and railroad ties will not be accepted at the Transfer Station. Signs will
be posted at the entrance to the site indicating that these materials are unacceptable

4.12 Unauthorized Materials
The Transfer Station is not permitted to handle hazardous or infectious wastes of any kind, including
asbestos, medical waste, explosives or radioactive wastes. Signs will be posted at the entrance to the
site indicating that these materials are unacceptable. This however does not preclude the possibility
that some haulers may knowingly or unknowingly deliver a hazardous material to the transfer station.
• Any vehicle suspected of carrying hazardous materials will be inspected by trained University
City Transfer Station personnel. All personnel involved in handling material at the site will be
trained to identify unauthorized material and carry out the appropriate measures as identified in
this contingency plan.
• If personnel find any evidence of a possible hazardous substance, the vehicle will not be
allowed to unload and the DNR will be notified immediately and given details of the situation.
• If a vehicle reaches the transfer station and suspected hazardous substances have been
discharged, the material will be confined and isolated for removal by a professional firm
licensed for handling of such waste. Then DNR personnel will be notified of this situation.
• Once the material is isolated, routine transfer operations will continue as normal. This material
will be removed within 24 hours for putrescible and 7 days for non-putrescible waste.
4.13 Explosion Prevention
No explosive materials of any kind will be accepted at the facility. The potential for receipt of explosive
materials does exist and will be minimized through the observation and inspection procedures of
incoming loads. Proper procedures will be taken.
1. Material will be observed as it is unloaded into the hoper, as well as during transfer and
load-out procedures.
2. Any material that is observed as being potentially explosive or otherwise suspected to
be hazardous will be quarantined and handled as "unauthorized waste."
4.14 Evaluation Plan
Evacuation of the Facility will be required in the event of a life-threatening emergency such as fire,
explosion, major hazardous substance release or other public safety emergency either on the site or in
the immediate vicinity. Depending on the nature of the emergency, incoming waste vehicles would be
directed to alternate disposable facilities or the back-up landfill. All equipment will be shut down as
quickly as possible. The Emergency Coordinator will provide instructions via the internal radio system.
The fire alarm system can be used as well. Non- essential personnel, or all personnel would be
directed to a designated off-site secure area by the Emergency Coordinator.
The proposed evacuation routes will utilize new and existing roadways and are designed to move
people away from the building as early as possible. The order for evacuation will be transmitted via the
internal radio system for the Emergency Coordinator through supervisors to all people on site.
Page 37 of 80
4.15 Records
Status reports will be issued monthly by the Sanitation Manager. The Status Report will identify the
actual quantity of solid waste received daily, any major operational problems, complaints or difficulties,
and control efforts for vector, odor, dust and litter. Any and all corrective actions recommended and
those corrective actions taken will be documented as part of the Monthly Report.
Records concerning volumes of incoming and outgoing loads to a permitted sanitary landfill,
productivity reports, disposal billing, and general office records will be maintained. Recycling records
will also be maintained as the volumes recycled and disposition of the commodities.
4.16 Contingency Plans
Solid waste shall not be accepted at the Transfer Station if the available storage capacity is full or the
facility is expected to be out of operations for more than twenty-four hours. In the event the facility is
out of operation for more than twenty-four hours, all incoming trucks will be routed directly to the
appropriate landfill. This will continue until the facility is operational again.

Chapter 7- Water Quality Impact Assessment of Flood Management
Project
1. Description of Activities:
New flood management projects located within the co-permittee’s 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 stormwater control (retention basins, detention
basins); flood control levees and associated pump stations; stormwater drainage conveyance
capacity improvements; projects involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain
land.
Stormwater 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 Stormwater
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
Stormwater 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.
2. Locations:
Existing projects located within the Plan Area include: (INSERT LIST OF FLOOD MANAGEMENT
PROJECTS)
3. Responsible Parties:
All co-permittees that plan, design or install flood management projects are subject to this
chapter. MSD has general responsibility for stormwater 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.
4. 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.
5. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapter 2 and 8 for maintenance.
Page 39 of 80
6. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• Implement and enforce ordinances and/or procedures requiring that water quality
factors be incorporated into the design and operation of stormwater/flood control
structures.
• Inspect existing flood management facilities on a specified frequency to determine
water quality impacts and exploit opportunities for improvement.
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum extent
practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD’s “Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities”.
• Design new flood management projects to prevent or minimize adverse water quality
impacts, exploring alternative programs utilizing non-structural flood damage reduction
and stream bank stabilization measures to the maximum extent practicable, such as
flood proofing houses, and buy outs.
• Use models based on fully developed conditions, and adopt a free board above base
flood elevation for development.
• Identify existing wetlands or other natural open space areas, particularly around
streams, and preserve them from development so they can provide natural attenuation,
retention or detention of runoff.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential water
quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Work closely with local governments, environmental organizations and others to
develop multi-use open space corridors along streams which will allow for overbank
floodplain storage.
• Floodplains are preserved to the maximum extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent practicable,
utilizing acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open stormwater 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.

Appendix 2-F1: Sample Recycling Policy
The City of University City Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement
3. Policy
The City of University City is committed to good stewardship of the environment. A key
element of that stewardship is the reduction of the amount of solid waste going from the city
into landfills. Solid waste landfills have negative long-range environmental impacts, drain
community resources, and have limited capacity to accept the large quantities of waste
generated by our society today. The City of University City will make every effort to reduce
the solid waste generated at our facilities. Four methods will be used to implement this policy:
source reduction, reuse of materials, recycling, and purchase of recycled materials. Every
City department and individual employee has a personal responsibility for implementing this
policy.
4. Methods to Achieve Solid Waste Reduction
A. Source Reduction: All members of the City staff are responsible for implementing
operational practices that prevent waste from being produced. Examples include printing
reports and documents on both sides of the paper; printing appropriate numbers of
documents; using email rather than printed correspondence; and using products that are
reusable, refillable, repairable, non-toxic, and recyclable. Products with reusable, returnable
packaging or items requiring the least possible packaging should be purchased when
practical. Every effort should be made to prevent excess or unneeded materials from being
purchased.
B. Reuse of Materials: All employees of the City are responsible for reusing products
whenever possible. An example would be to use dishes, glasses, and reusable flatware
rather than disposable paper and plastic ware.
C. Recycling: All City employees are responsible for separating identified recyclable materials
and placing them in appropriate recycling containers. City Recycling includes aluminum cans,
steel cans, batteries, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, hard back books, newspapers, phone
books, catalogs and magazines, brown paper bags, microfiche, news blend, office blend,
plastic bottles (#1 and #2 only), Styrofoam and peanuts, toner cartridges, transparencies,
videotapes, and additional items as implemented. Facilities Management Recycling includes
construction/demolition debris, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, paint, pallets,
refrigerants, scrap metal, solvents, tires, yard waste, and additional items as implemented.
D. Purchase of Recycled Content Material: All City departments are responsible for making
efforts to purchase and use products manufactured from or containing recycled materials. All
recycled content purchases will be reported to the Purchasing Department for record-keeping
and reporting purposes.
Page 54 of 80
5. Procedures
The Director of Public Works will be responsible for implementing this Policy by:
A. Designating departments and employees responsible for the task of developing and
implementing a waste reduction and recycling program in accordance with this Policy.
B. Designating personnel in the Purchasing Department to ensure recycled content products
are purchased when feasible and that criteria for recycled content products are included in
the purchasing bid process.
C. Designating personnel in Facilities Management to ensure that all new construction
includes designated areas for recycling and solid waste collection and removal.
D. Designating personnel to promote recycling and waste reduction in employee events and
materials.
E. Encouraging all contractors to adhere to City recycling policies and procedures.
F. Taking other appropriate action as he/she deems necessary to implement this Policy.

Appendix 2-F2: Sample Green Procurement Policy
The City of University City Green Procurement Policy
1. Policy Objective
The objective of this policy is to provide direction for greening University City’s procurement.
2. Policy Statement
As set out in this Policy, priority in procurement will be given to green products and services,
including construction.
3. Definitions
Green procurement is the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or reduced
effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or
services that serve the same purpose. This comparison may consider raw material
acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, operation, maintenance,
disposal and re-use of the product or service. Green procurement encompasses the concept
of the procurement of goods and services that provide for basic human needs and bring a
better quality of life, while minimizing the use of non-renewable natural resources and toxic
materials and the emission of wastes and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
A green product is one that is less harmful than the alternative, having characteristics
including, but not limited to, the following:
• Recyclable - local facilities exist that are capable of recycling the product at the end of
its useful life.
• Biodegradable - will not take a long time to decompose in landfill.
• Contain recycled material (post-consumer recycled content).
• Minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take-back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Produce fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
• Produce the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• Make efficient use of resources - a product that uses energy, fuel or water more
efficiently or that uses less paper, ink or other resources.
• Durable - have a long economically useful life and/or can be economically repaired or
upgraded.
Sustainable (green) service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green operational
policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
Page 56 of 80
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file showing
that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
4. Policy Procedures
Where available and cost effective, green products and services, including construction, that
are of equal or better performance and quality, will be purchased. In determining cost
effectiveness, a department should consider the costs and benefits that accrue, in the shorter
and longer term, to the City of University City.
For all bid solicitations (e.g. requests for proposal, requests for quote, and requests for
standing), environmental factors or impact will be considered when requirements are defined.
In addition, bid solicitations will include instructions asking bidders to identify any
environmental benefits over the life cycle of their products and/or services.
Green procurement principles will be applied to construction projects beginning with the
design stage.
Departments will determine the contract dollar value (hereafter referred to as the threshold)
above which a formal record is kept on file showing that environmental criteria were
considered when requirements were defined. In determining their threshold, departments may
wish to consider contracting volumes, training requirements and budgetary constraints.
For all procurement, consideration will be given to environmental factors or impact. For
requirements:
A. Valued in excess of a threshold, a formal record of the evaluation will be kept on file. In the
case where a green purchase was made, the record will list the environmental criteria
included in the bid solicitation. In the case where a green product or service was not acquired,
the reasons for not selecting an environmentally preferable product or service will be
documented. See Documentation Form attached.
B. Valued at or below the threshold, a formal record of the evaluation is not required.
Each department will be responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient training
about the environment and green procurement to carry out the directives in this policy.
5. Guidelines
5.1 The life cycle approach and the environment
Applying the four R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) at each phase of the material
management life cycle helps protect the environment and reduce costs.
5.1.1 Planning
Page 57 of 80
During the planning process, managers will assess the need for a given purchase and,
whenever possible,
• Reduce consumption.
• Consider acquiring second-hand or used material.
• Consider products that are less damaging to the environment, such as those made with
resource-saving materials or processes.
• Consider the environmental cost of purchases during each phase of the life cycle.
5.1.2 Acquisition
As much as practical, products selected should:
• Be reusable and contain reusable parts.
• Be recyclable and contain recycled materials (e.g. recycled paper, reconditioned laser
printer cartridges).
• Include second-hand or used material.
• Use resources and energy efficiently.
• Have a long service life or be economical to repair.
• Contain minimal packaging, or use returnable or reusable shipping containers.
• Be non-toxic and non-polluting.
5.1.3 Maintenance and Operations
A. Ensure that products are properly maintained and used. This will extend the service life of
a product. When economically feasible, equipment should be repaired, refinished and reused.
B. Hazardous material must be shipped, stored and handled in accordance with applicable
federal and provincial law, and regulations.
5.1.4 Disposal
Consider alternatives to disposing of material, such as reusing, recycling or recovering it. Try
to minimize the amount of waste generated.
5.2 Combine environmental actions with fiscal responsibility
A. Government interest in economy of operations is fully compatible with environmental
interests. Many sound environmental practices have resulted in savings.
B. Most environmental actions can be phased in gradually without additional cost. When
these actions may entail additional costs for the government, managers should accommodate
them within existing budgets.
C. Government should lead by example. In light of the volume of government procurement,
the government can play a significant role in promoting the development and marketing of
Page 58 of 80
green products and services. As demand for these products and services increase their prices
will drop and become more affordable to all consumers.

Appendix 5-F1: Corps of Engineers 404 Permit & MDNR 401 Certification
All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a “water of the United States” requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. The permitting and certification process is shared
between the Corps and the MDNR.
If you are considering a project that may involve placing materials in a lake, river, stream,
ditch or wetland (including dry streams, ditches or wetlands) contact the Corps to find out if
the project you are planning is in jurisdictional waters and is a regulated activity. The Corps
has the sole authority to determine whether the activity is regulated; whether a site specific,
individual 404 permit is required, or whether a Nationwide Permit (NWP) applies for projects
with minor impacts. If an 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:
https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Regulatory-Program-and-Permits/Obtain-a-
Permit/https://dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/401/
The following is a list of NWPs commonly applicable to municipal operations. For most of
these NWPs, the MDNR has conditionally certified these activities. The NWPs will list
numerous thresholds for applicability and notification in terms of linear feet and acreage of the
project.
• NWP 3 Maintenance – repair or replacement of an existing structure, and removal of
accumulated sediment or placement of riprap to protect a structure.
• NWP 7 Outfall Structures – construction of new outfall and intake structures, and
removal of accumulated sediment blocking these structures.
• NWP 12 Utility Lines – construction, maintenance, and repair of utility lines (sewer,
water, electric or communication), including outfalls and excavations for the utility line.
• NWP 13 Bank Stabilization – stabilization projects for erosion protection.
Page 75 of 80
• 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 Stormwater Management – construction, maintenance, and dredging of
stormwater 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 University
City
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 Stormwater
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 stormwater 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 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 the 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 co-permittee 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 the SWMP
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.
Page 77 of 80
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
• Producing the minimal amount of toxic substances during use or at disposal.
• 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 stormwater 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
stormwater 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 stormwater 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, stormwater 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
Stormwater Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200). Each of the co-permittees operates its own MS4.
In addition, the term is used to refer to the entire St. Louis County Plan Area which is
identified in the Phase II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Municipality means: Any public entity as described in the definition of Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System. St. Louis County and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District are
Page 78 of 80
considered “municipalities” for the purposes of the Phase II stormwater permit along with the
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 stormwater 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 stormwater regulations. These took effect
December 17, 1990. Phase I regulations provide for stormwater 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 stormwater regulations. These took effect
February 7, 2000. Phase II regulations provide for stormwater 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: Stormwater permit # MO-R040005 issued by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources to the St. Louis County co-permittees. This permit was
issued pursuant to the provisions of Missouri Stormwater 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 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees as well as unincorporated St.
Louis County. The Plan Area is identified in the Phase II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan
Small MS4.
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.
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
Page 79 of 80
stormwater and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined
sewer system.
Stormwater means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Stormwater 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: Stormwater 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.)
