Program Manual
Note from the Authors:
This document is a Model Operation & Maintenance Program developed to meet the requirements
in the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Permit, Section 4.2.6. All co-permittees are required to
implement an Operation & Maintenance Program to comply with their permit. 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 & 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.

Program Manual
Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A) Introduction - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II
Stormwater Permit MO-R040005 to St. Louis County Government and other co-permittees
in St. Louis County, issued October 1, 2016. The area served by the co-permittees is
collectively known as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 Permit. 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, the
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 Permit
is implemented under the Phase II permit. As a co-permittee under the state permit, St.
Louis County Government is obliged to follow the commitments contained in the SWMP.
The SWMP requires a model Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Program template be
developed by the MS4 program administrator and that each co-permittee implement a
written O&M program.
This document represents St. Louis County Government's implementation of the model
program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet St. Louis County Government needs
and goals. This program impacts most facets of municipal operations. It is St. Louis County
Government's intent to adhere, to the maximum extent practicable, to the policies and
procedures stated herein in order to prevent pollution, to safeguard the environment for the
health and benefit of all our 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.
Disclaimer: This program impacts most facets of municipal operations in St. Louis County
Government. Some facets are intersected with federal regulations. Applicable
departments, divisions, personnel, etc. were contacted to provide and update information
from the 2008 version to include in this 2021 version of the program. Some departments,
divisions, personnel did not provide or update information from the previous version of the
manual. A County archive search of ordinances, resolutions, agendas, and journals was
also performed to the extent practicable, to obtain obligatory information to include in this
program. This O&M is updated periodically. The information contained in this O&M may
not be the most current. There is a lag time between when regulations, permits, personnel,
etc., change and when this O&M program is updated. Users of this O&M are encouraged
to consult current information with respect to tenets in this program. While every effort has
been made to ensure its accuracy, there is no guarantee that it is free of oversights and
omissions.
B) Policies - St. Louis County has adopted a policy regarding the purchase of recycled
products. A copy of the policy is contained in Appendix A.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 4 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
C) Organization of 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-applicability is contained in those chapters where St. Louis County
Government is not engaged in the subject activity.
D) Administration - The responsible party for administration of the Operation & Maintenance
(O&M) Program is the Director of Transportation & 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.
St. Louis County will train applicable staff associated with activities that can impact pollution
in storm water runoff from municipal operations. Most chapters will identify employees that
should be subject to training on that particular chapter. Applicable employees will receive
general stormwater pollution prevention and housekeeping training or relevant training,
provided by St. Louis County or others. After implementation of procedures, management
or assign will review the new procedures that incorporate stormwater BMPs, proper waste
management and applicable National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit requirements, as needed, with any employees affected. Appropriate new employees
will be trained on applicable procedures at the next scheduled training or receive on the job
training. No training shall exceed requirements as discussed in the MCM 6 section of the
MS4 permit.
Records documenting the training of employees should be maintained in file. On the job
training is given, but due to the extent and degree and intermittent nature of the training, it
is not necessarily documented.
St. Louis County Government has developed internal programs to ensure compliance with
EPA standards for the Phase II Stormwater Program. Our expectation is that all applicable
directors, supervisors, employees and any firm or individual that interacts with St. Louis
County Government will support our efforts to improve stormwater runoff quality and the
Clean Water Act standards.
E) Industrial Facilities No Exposure List - The SWMP requires that each co-permittee list
regulated industrial facilities (subject to NPDES permit) that it owns or operates that are
subject to "No Exposure Certification." No exposure means all the materials and activities
at a regulated facility are indoors or protected from exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt and
runoff. "Guidance for No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from Stormwater Permit
Requirements" (Publication 2729) is located on the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources website at: https://dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub2729.htm.

F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 32 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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 dechlorinating. 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.
• 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 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 stormwater
drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for mosquito
breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Publications at: https://ipm.missouri.edu/pubs/.
(See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
• Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated Plant 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 the Purdue Extension Education Store publication, "Turfgrass
Weed Control for Professionals" (2020 edition) on the MU Extension website at:
https://extension2.missouri.edu/MX399. (See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
• Minimize the use of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and
aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) to the extent practicable.
Material Management
• Purchase recycled products or products with high post-consumer waste content whenever
practical and in accordance with St. Louis County Resolution 3593.
• The County collects and recycles to the maximum extent practicable.
• Disposal of all wastes generated or collected during County operations, is performed in
accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws.
• Facilities are inspected for litter on a regular basis and cleaned up as needed.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 33 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• Trash containers with lids are kept closed to keep rain out. Do not put batteries, liquids or
chemicals, tires, or bio-hazardous wastes in the trash containers.
• 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
BMP, or otherwise contained so that stormwater runoff can be captured or flow through
the BMP.
• 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 watertight.
• Spills of hazardous materials are prevented by selecting storage areas that avoid traffic to
minimize accidental contact, and by selecting areas that are away from storm drain inlets
and streams to minimize the impact of a spill. Storage areas are kept clean and organized.
• All spills are contained and cleaned up immediately upon discovery, using dry methods.
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. Significant
spills may require evacuation and contacting emergency clean-up responders.
• 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.
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for chemicals are
maintained onsite (or on-line) for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling, and health
and safety issues.
• Spill response plans are recommended for applicable
areas of municipal operations. Spill Prevention
Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans are
required to meet regulatory criteria in 40 CFR 112 for
sites with above ground, oil storage capacity over 660
gallons of oil in one container or 1,320 gallons on site.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 34 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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
SDS, and petroleum RQ's 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.
• Establish at applicable municipal facilities, materials management and inventory controls
to include the proper identification of substances, and proper labeling of all containers.
Community
• Develop / enforce ordinances for waste containers which regulate size, type, covers and
water-tightness for residential, commercial and industrial areas. (See Appendix C 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. (Illegal dumping and
penalties are also included in the Waste Management Code.)
• Provide pet 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.
• 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, private sewage disposal systems. See St. Louis County Ordinance
Number 24,444, Section 1115.2901.1.
Operations & Maintenance Program
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules and
long-term inspection procedures in accordance with this program manual with emphasis
on safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws and good environmental
stewardship.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed
once a month and records kept of the inspections.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 35 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• Develop record keeping procedures that effectively track implementation of program
elements and that provide the information necessary to meet the reporting requirements

Program Manual
F) Best Management Practices (BMPs) - To include all facilities identified in Section B.
Operations
• We have 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 Fleet facilities are performed indoors. On
occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance work will be performed 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 safety data sheets (SDS) for chemicals onsite (or on-line) 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 weather tight and sealed.
• 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.
• Lead wheel weights from older vehicles are kept in a container marked "scrap lead" and
are being phased out. Current wheel weights are made from steel, zinc or other non-lead
materials.
• Records of waste pick-ups are maintained in file.
• Use pans or absorbent pads under vehicles and equipment with fluid leaks. Always use
drip pans when making and breaking connections.
• Used oil filters should be hot drained for at least 12 hours 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 or outdoors in
appropriate containers and are in secondary containment, when possible.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 47 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• Neutralizer and absorbent are kept by both new and used batteries, when possible.
• 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, scraping, or sanding activities outdoors, use a tarp drop-cloth to contain and
capture material. Collect and dispose of paint chips and sanding waste in the trash for
non-lead-based paint or evaluate lead-based paint for hazardous waste disposal.
• Keep the facility area clear of litter.
Spill Prevention
• Spill controls 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 an above ground oil storage capacity over 660 gallons 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.
• For fueling areas, post signs that state "No Topping Off", "Attend Vehicle While Fueling",
and "Turn Off Engine".
• 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, if equipped.
• Emergency phone numbers are clearly posted in the shop and / or office area.
Facility
• Storm drains / inlets can be labeled to help protect from improper usage.
• Employees should be made aware of sanitary and storm sewers to ensure all wastewater
is discharged to the sanitary sewer.
• All above ground oil storage tanks have secondary containment in accordance with SPCC
requirements. If containment is not roofed, inspect accumulated rainwater for
contamination prior to discharge.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 48 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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.
• "No Smoking" signs are posted near flammable material storage areas. Verify that fire
extinguishers are charged and inspected yearly.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - Vehicle
maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under the
Missouri Stormwater Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES stormwater (Phase I)
permitting requirements under Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) general
permit R80C. As stated above, all vehicle repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors
or are otherwise done without exposure to stormwater. Therefore, a NPDES stormwater
permit is not required and a "no-exposure" certification has been filed for the Fleet
Management Main Garage. See Chapter #1 of this manual for additional No Exposure
information. The MDNR or the EPA make the final determination on which permit should
be obtained. Each Department is responsible for applying for their own NPDES permits or
No Exposure Certifications where applicable.
H) Training - Training on stormwater will be provided to mechanics, storekeepers, laborers,
and management staff working at facilities identified in Section B. Applicable employees
will be provided stormwater training and training on procedures pertaining to general
housekeeping.

Chapter 4 - Vehicle / Equipment Washing
A) Description of Activities - St. Louis County passenger vehicles are taken to commercial
facilities when washing is required.
B) Locations - Transportation passenger vehicles are taken to commercial washing facilities
when washing is required.
Transportation trucks and equipment are washed at the Maintenance Districts Substations.
The 2500 Drilling Service Drive facility (main Fleet garage) does not have a wash bay (as
of the date of this manual), but a new wash bay is planned.
C) Responsible Parties - The Facility Superintendent is responsible for ensuring that vehicles
are taken off-site to approved commercial facilities for washing.
D) Materials / Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage - Wash soap is used minimally at
the Maintenance District facilities, and the effluent drains to the sanitary sewer. Wash soap
is not used at other St. Louis County facilities.
E) Wash Bay Design and Waste Disposal - Wash bay facilities at Transportation
Maintenance District's 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, discharge into the sanitary sewer system, and all have
oil water separators. The oily contents must be pumped and disposed by a permitted waste
hauler at a commercial facility able to handle oily waste.
F) Best Management Practices (BMP's)
• Passenger vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when off-site washing is needed.
• MSD is responsible to verify that commercial facilities are in compliance with MSD sewer
discharge requirements. Wash bays should be covered to prevent stormwater in the
sanitary sewer system.
• On-site wash bay facilities are designed to collect washwater, pretreat with a sediment /
oil trap (interceptor), and discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The trap should be
pumped quarterly, or as needed.
• Wash bays are covered to prevent stormwater runoff from discharging to the sanitary
sewer system.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - Permits are
obtained based on understanding of need. The MDNR or the EPA make the final permit
determination. Each Department is responsible for applying for their own NPDES permits
or No Exposure Certifications where applicable.
H) Training - Generally, employees responsible for operating fleet passenger vehicles are
aware of one or more of the contracted commercial facilities that vehicles are to be taken
to. The list below shows the location and hours of operation of approved contracted
commercial wash facilities. Other fleet vehicles and equipment are taken to the wash rack
located at the nearest maintenance district. On the job instruction is advantageous and is

F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Facility Design
• Consider designing facilities for "Low Impact Development" to reduce the volume and rate
of stormwater runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer to information
on "Urban Runoff: Low Impact Development" from the United States EPA's website at:
www.epa.gov/nps/urban-runoff-low-impact-development.
• In designing stormwater drainage facilities, consider the following BMPs, in accordance
with MSD's stormwater drainage facility design regulations, to improve the water quality
of site drainage: wet detention ponds, wetlands, structural filter systems, grass swales,
vegetative filter strips, and riparian buffers along streams. MSD's design regulations are
contained in the "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for
Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage Facilities". Fact sheets on stormwater
management practices are available from the Stormwater Manager’s Resource Center at:
www.sustainable.org/environment/water/319-stormwater-managers-resource-center-smrc.
• Carefully design and install plumbing and stormwater systems to code, eliminating cross-
connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Consider designing material storage and handling areas to help keep rain and stormwater
runoff from coming into contact with stored material.
• Consider designing landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for
irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide.
Land Disturbance
• Comply with St. Louis County 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 the SWPPP links at:
https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/transportation-and-public-
works/land-disturbance/ and https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-
departments/transportation-and-public-works/roadway-publications-and-manuals/dot-
storm-water-resources/stormwater-pollution-prevention-plan-swppp-required-for-major-
land-disturbance-permits/ .
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or fill
material into a "water of the United States" requires a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404
Permit, and a Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) 401 Water Quality
Certification. See Appendix D for a summary of permit requirements.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 58 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
Construction / Remodeling
• In accordance with County purchasing policies as stated in Appendix B, every effort is
made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled resources.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical and cover
stored materials to avoid stormwater 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
trash dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a
contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pick-up trash and debris daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fireproof 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 stormwater is sent to the storm sewer system.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - The
County's NPDES Land Disturbance Permit (No. MO-R100008), issued by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) can be applied to all County Departments
construction projects that disturb one acre or more of land. All County Departments have
the option to apply for a separate, individual, land disturbance permit from the local MDNR
office at their discretion in lieu of using the MO-R100008 permit.
H) Training - Employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling
activities are trained as needed on the applicable practices presented in this chapter. As a
minimum, personnel should be trained on general housekeeping touching on the importance
of stormwater pollution prevention.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning & Maintenance of Roadways, Highways,
Bridges and Parking Facilities
A) Description of Activities - Most Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies and
municipalities are responsible for the maintenance of roadways, highways, and parking
facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities include, but may not be limited to,
street sweeping, applying surface seals, patching, snow removal and occasional emergency
response to spills and accidents for traffic control only.
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.
DOT agencies plow snow 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 DOT agencies are required to respond to emergency situations involving spills and
debris from vehicles to help with traffic handling. 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. The entity which caused the spill is responsible for
its clean up and the expense of any accompanying damage.
Fleet washes down two of the three parking garages, twice a year with soap and water. The
Shaw parking garage drains into an oil and grease interceptor then into the sanitary sewer.
The Courts parking garage drains into an oil and grease
interceptor which is plugged to prevent the effluent from
draining into the storm sewer. The interceptor is pumped
into the sanitary sewer. Sweeper Scrubbers are used
periodically from April to October to clean the parking
garages. The Sweeper Scrubber effluent is drained into a
dedicated sanitary sewer inlet. The 121 basement, parking
garage is cleaned with a scrubbing machine and the
scrubbing machine is drained in the Shaw parking garage.

F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 63 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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.
• 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 and more 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit and a Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (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 D 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 or bridge washing operations.
• 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. Investigate
to determine sources of litter in areas of excessive accumulation.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 64 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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 washwater to the storm drain
untreated.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - See "No
Exposure" Certifications for various Transportation facilities in Chapter 1 of this manual. No
Exposure Certifications are renewed based on continued understanding of need. Each
Department is responsible for applying for their own NPDES permits or No Exposure
Certifications where applicable.
H) Training - Employees in street and roadway maintenance, and repair will be trained as
needed on applicable practices in this chapter, to the extent practicable. On the job
instruction is advantageous and is a desired teaching approach. Informal snowplow driver
training is provided by Operations on a yearly basis.

Chapter 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces,
Trails and Landscaping
A) Description of Activities - St. Louis County has 69 parks totaling 12,402.73 acres of land,
and over 105.63 miles of biking, hiking and jogging trails.
St. Louis County Department of Parks and Recreation has responsibility for the development
and maintenance of recreational areas and green space within the county, including
neighborhood and regional parks, community gardens, bike and walking paths, linear and
river parks, trees, wetlands, lakes, and public facility landscaping. The county 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
into streams, storing, filtering and slowing stormwater runoff, thus preventing or reducing
flash flooding downstream. St. Louis County has 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), parking lot maintenance, routine cleaning of park restrooms, tracking and
removal of invasive species, and planting annuals and perennials.

F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
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. 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, wherever feasible or
mandated.
• In designing stormwater drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, where feasible or
mandated, 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: www.sustainable.org/environment/water/319-stormwater-managers-
resource-center-smrc
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.
• St. Louis County Department of Parks and Recreation annually has lake and trail cleanup
programs. Volunteer hours are recorded and kept on file by the departments Volunteer
Coordinator. Volunteers are supervised by trained staff.
• 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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 70 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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 (MU), isobutylidene diurea (IBDU), or resin
coated fertilizer to the extent feasible.
• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and destroying the root zone, employ
BMPs for erosion and sediment control. Please see the St. Louis County website
(https://stlouiscountymo.gov/) under Departments / Transportation & Public Works /
Permitting Services / Land Disturbance, for SWPPP BMP information.
• 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit and a Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (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 D for a summary of permit requirements.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 71 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
Integrated Pest Management
• Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize the use of pesticides.
Pesticide application should be timed carefully and combined with other pest management
practices. Pests and their development stage should be identified accurately, and
pesticide applications made only when necessary, using the least amount needed and the
least toxic product for adequate pest control.
• Use mechanical controls to keep pests in check, such as species specific, pheromone-
based traps. Remove pests by hand. Eliminate conditions favorable to pests and place
barriers to control pests and weeds.
• Use natural, biological controls, when feasible, including natural enemies of pests, such
as: predators, parasites, pathogens, pheromones, and juvenile hormones.
• Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding
grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping
stormwater drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to the University of Missouri (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 the
Purdue Extension Education Store publication, "Turfgrass Weed Control for
Professionals" (2020 edition) on the University of Missouri (MU) Extension website at:
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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 72 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - NPDES
permits are to be obtained on a project specific basis when needed. NPDES permits or "no-
exposure certifications" are obtained based on understanding of need. Each Department is
responsible for applying for their own NPDES permits or No Exposure Certifications where
applicable.
H) Training - Employees directly involved in the design, construction and maintenance of
landscaping, trails, green spaces and parks will be trained as needed on applicable
practices in this chapter, to the extent practicable. On the job instruction is advantageous
and is a desired teaching approach. As a minimum, personnel should be trained in General
Housekeeping or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) items as relevant to the
Department.

Chapter 8 - Cleaning & 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. The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District (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 jurisdiction. 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 Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) maintains the enclosed storm
system along the Departments road network and St. Louis County maintains the open
natural drainage ditches and channels within the public road right-of-way.

F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
General
• Within budgetary constraints and responsibilities, perform maintenance of the storm
drainage system (road culvert) to remove flow obstructions to reduce flooding and erosion
problems and improve water quality as needed.
• Properly collect and dispose of waste as indicated in Section E above to minimize
contaminants discharged to stormwater. When possible, focus cleaning efforts before the
rainy season.
• If storm inlets / catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non-
stormwater discharges or illegal dumping of waste, contact MSD, Division of
Environmental Compliance at (314) 436-8710 for investigation and enforcement.
• Implement Phase II public education efforts; public participation efforts to mark inlets with
"No Dumping, Drains to Stream", or organize public stream clean-up events (MSD
responsibility).
• 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 and more than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs
for erosion and sediment control.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 75 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
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
(MSD responsibility).
• Consider installation of catch basin inlets in areas where storm sewers will be known to
receive excessive amounts of litter or sediment (MSD responsibility).
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 (MSD responsibility).
• Utilize care in cleaning storm sewers by flushing, to properly collect waste using debris /
sediment traps (MSD responsibility).
• Seal / repair joints in structures to prevent root intrusion and soil wash-out (MSD
responsibility).
• Minimize or avoid the use of chemical root / vegetation killers and use the least toxic
alternatives when necessary (MSD responsibility).
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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit and a Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (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 D 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 (IDDP), 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.

Program Manual
Detention Basins in St. Louis County
• 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".
• Consider inspecting facilities to ensure proper operation and maintain if needed, including
trash and debris removal, vegetation control, vector control, structural and erosion repair,
and sediment removal to restore capacity based on continued engineering need. Some
structures were constructed to provide a water feature and provide no engineering or
stormwater control benefit.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - Contact the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, etc. and submit
a permit determination request as needed. Each Department is responsible for applying for
their own NPDES permits or No Exposure Certifications where applicable.
H) Training - MSD collection system operators and MSD contractors involved in maintenance
of drainage systems will be trained if a need is determined by MSD. Municipal employees
involved in periodic maintenance of applicable drainage systems will be trained as needed
on the job.

Program Manual
F) Best Management Practices (BMPs):
• Yard waste composting operations and mulch piles should be located away from
stormwater drainage systems and must not be located within 100 feet of a natural creek
or man-made stormwater 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 stormwater, and to prevent stormwater
drainage running into the pile.
• Do not discharge leachate to stormwater. As necessary to manage leachate, design a
system to collect and properly treat leachate or incorporate into the early stages of the
composting process.
• Every effort is made to ensure the facility is clean and that no unauthorized or
contaminated materials are deposited at the facility.
• Both St. Louis County Parks sites are in areas where vegetative filter strips and riparian
buffers slow and reduce the leachate and volume and rate of stormwater flow.
G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - Recycling
center facilities involved in the recycling or composting of materials are considered
"municipal industrial" facilities under Missouri Stormwater Regulations and are subject to
separate NPDES Stormwater (Phase I) permitting requirements, unless they are collection
points only and completely protected from stormwater (run-on and run-off). Potentially
applicable MDNR NPDES General Permits include R80H for Recycling facilities and G97
for Yard Waste Compost sites. As noted above, all of St. Louis County Department of Parks
and Recreation recyclable collection and handling activities are conducted outdoors. Each
Department is responsible for applying for their own NPDES permits or "No Exposure
Certifications" where applicable.
H) Training: All St. Louis County Department of Parks and Recreation employees attending
to the operation of or using the recycling and composting facilities are instructed on the use
of equipment and handling of problem situations. Training is provided as necessary. On
the job training is beneficial.

Chapter 10 - Water Quality Impact Assessment of
Flood Management Projects
A) Description of Activities - New flood management projects located within the County are
assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing projects should 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; bridges and culverts; projects
involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain land.
Stormwater management projects in both development and re-development are assessed
for water quality impact, according to the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District's (MSD)
"Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Stormwater Drainage
Facilities", which address the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) water quality
requirements under MCM 5. Projects within designated levee districts, such as Monarch-
Chesterfield, Earth City and Riverport are 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit
and Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) 401 Water Quality Certification
process.
B) Locations - Existing bridge projects (as of February 2021) located within the Plan Area
include:
Bayless Avenue Bridge #419 ................................................ Replacement
Buckley Road Bridges 528 and 528-P ................................... Replacement

C) 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.
D) Materials / Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage - Not applicable. For construction
phase of work, land disturbance requirements will apply. See Chapters 2 and 8 for
construction and maintenance.
E) Waste Generation, Storage, Disposal, Recycling - Not applicable. See Chapters 2 and
8 for maintenance.
F) Best Management Practices (BMPs)
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified, if needed, to the extent
practicable to meet 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.
• Ordinance for St. Louis County requires low floor elevations of structures in floodplain to
be above base flood elevation.
• Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact to the extent practicable.
• Floodplains are preserved to the extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the extent practicable, utilizing
acquisition of flood-prone property where possible.
• Open stormwater conveyance systems are used to the 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 extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to minimize
scour and erosion as approved by MSD.
• Employ natural solutions and use controls that preserve the hydrology of a site as a first
line of flood control to the extent practicable.

G) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Status - Contact the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR),
etc. and submit a permit determination request as needed. Each Department is responsible
for applying for their own NPDES permits or No Exposure Certifications where applicable.
H) Training: Employees responsible for flood management projects will use as a guide,
applicable practices in this chapter following planning and design standards provided in the
Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Stormwater Drainage
Facilities, through ordinances, design manuals, etc. Each project is unique, so design
requirements, ordinances, etc., will be applied individually and differently to each project to
the extent practicable. On the job learning is advantageous and is a desired training
approach.

Appendix D: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit and
Missouri Department of Natural Resources 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 404 Permit
and a Missouri Department of Natural Resources (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 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 Corps' 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (314) 331-8575 or (314) 331-8000. Permit
application forms and procedures for applying to the Corps and the MDNR can be found on the
following web pages:

https://www.mvs.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory.aspx
https://dnr.mo.gov/
https://dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/401/index.html
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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 98 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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 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 Sewer Small MS4 Permit and
to the municipality.
Best Management Practice or Best Management Practices (BMP or BMPs) - 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 - 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 61 co-
permittees. One of the coordinating authority’s responsibilities is to prepare and submit an annual
report to the MDNR on the status of compliance of all 61 co-permittees with the permit and
approved SWMP.
Co-Permittee - An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to multiple
entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis County Plan
Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions relating to the
discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the responsibilities for which
it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share in the financial and
administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each other and with the
coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with meeting the commitments
in the SWMP.
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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 100 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
• 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.
Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) - 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 - 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) - 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 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 Permit.
Municipal Work Group - A group of municipal representatives organized under the provisions of
Chapter 14 of the St. Louis County SWMP to develop a model Operation & Maintenance (O&M)
Program and a Training Program for the 61 co-permittees in order to comply with the provisions
in the Plan Area Phase II Stormwater Permit.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 101 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
Municipality - Any public entity as described in the definition of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
System (MS4). St. Louis County and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) are
considered "municipalities" for the purposes of the Phase II Stormwater 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.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) - 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
(MDNR) has been delegated the authority to issue NPDES permits.
Per- (Perfluoroalkyl) and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Aqueous Film Forming
Foam (AFFF) - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of human made
chemicals that are found in a wide range of products used by consumers and industry. There are
nearly 5,000 different types of PFAS, some of which have been more widely used and studied
than others. Many PFAS are resistant to grease, oil, water and heat. The widespread use of
PFAS and their ability to remain intact in the environment means that over time PFAS levels from
past and current uses can result in increasing levels of environmental contamination and
associated bio accumulated health risks. States are leading the way in limiting its use. PFAS
containing Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) are one of the sources of PFAS pollution in
state waters. The Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the 2021-2026 permit cycle is
creating an awareness and educational opportunity in all co-permittees. The SWMP will ask co-
permittees to identify municipal operations that utilize substances containing PFAS and AFFF and
develop an inventory of potential sources to prevent and reduce stormwater pollution. Co-
permittees are to be mindful of best practices that can be deployed to manage these chemicals.
A PFAS / AFFF brochure with respect to municipal operations will be developed and distributed
to co-permittees. See the SWMP, best management practice, number 62, for a timeline of
scheduled implementation.
Phase I - 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 - 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.
Draft Date 2/23/2021 102 Operations & Maintenance
Program Manual
Phase II Permit - Stormwater Permit # MO-R040005, issued by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) to the 61 St. Louis County co-permittees. This permit was issued
pursuant to the provisions of Missouri Stormwater Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200.
Plan Area - The portion of St. Louis County served by separate storm sewers and within the
corporate boundaries of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD). The Plan Area includes
the 59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees as well as unincorporated St. Louis
County. While there is a total of 77 municipalities in the Plan Area, 18 have populations of less
than 1,000 and are therefore, exempt from the Phase II permitting requirements, per Section
(1)(C)22 of Missouri Stormwater Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200. The City of St. Louis and twelve
St. Louis 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 Permit.
Plan Area Training Committee - The Municipal Work Group defined above.
Recycling Facility - Any co-permittee-owned or operated facility which collects, for recycling,
common household recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, etc. or which collects
and processes yard wastes for use as mulch or compost.
St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Stormwater Planning Committee - The group of 22
representatives from municipal governments, St. Louis County, MSD and various state and
regional agencies which developed the Stormwater Management Plan for St. Louis County.
Separate Storm Sewer - A pipe, conduit, conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads
with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, manmade
channels or storm drains) designed and intended to receive and convey stormwater and which
discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined sewer system.
Stormwater - Rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan - 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 (MDNR) 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 - 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
