Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Stormwater Permit
MO-R040005 to the Village of Hanley Hills and other co-permittees in St. Louis County,
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 Village of Hanley Hills 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 Village of Hanley Hills implementation of the model operation
and maintenance program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet the Village of Hanley
Hills' needs and goals. This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is Hanley
Hills' 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 Hanley Hills'
employees, residents and visitors and to serve as a model for the entire regulated area.
Where the municipal operations described in this manual are contracted, rather than
performed by municipal employees, the best management practices (BMPs) will be imposed
to the maximum extent practicable on the contractor through purchasing or contract
mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of work or job/service specifications.
Contractors will be required to obtain all applicable local/state/federal environmental permits.
B. Policies:
The Village of Hanley Hills has adopted Chapter 410 Flood Hazard Prevention. Within this
chapter of its ordinances Hanley Hills covers the proper use of water areas, methods used to
analyze flood hazards, stream management and buffering procedures. (See hed).
Further Hanley Hills has recently had part of its Creek cut and maintained ridding itof
honeysuckle. (See attached). Additionally, each year Hanley Hills participates in the Trash
Bash of MSD cleaning up the Creeks and on a regular basis make the residents aware of
BMPs regarding the sewers and streams (creek) of Hanley Hills. This is done through Project
Clear Flyers and as mentioned earlier utilizing volunteers to clean up the creek, minimally on
an annual basis.
Page 4 of 53 Rev.December 2019
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 the Village of Hanley Hills 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.
The Village of Hanley Hills 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 Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Assistance
Office or others. 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. To maintain proficiency, a
schedule of periodic retraining will be implemented, or provisions made for an employee
awareness campaign to ensure employees remain aware of the BMPs and proper waste
management.
Records documenting the training of employees and contractors must be maintained in file.

E. Industrial Facilities No Exposure List
This section does not apply to the Village of Hanley Hills. However, Hanley Hills has a
maintenance garage located at 7559 Allen Green Drive which houses its equipment and truck.
All of the equipment is maintained indoors, covered and protected from the elements.
Page 6 of 53 Rev.December2019
Chapter 2 - General Housekeeping, Operation and Maintenance
A. Description of Activities:
Municipal operations include a variety of activities conducted to maintain City owned
property and facilities. This chapter will cover those activities that are not specifically
covered in the other chapters of this document. This chapter covers custodial and building
maintenance activities, materials management and storage, safe material substitutions,
spill plans, establishment of general O&M procedures, scheduling, record keeping and
housekeeping practices in general.
This chapter also covers general municipal housekeeping issues, which include illegal
dumping, littering, pet wastes, trash storage, and recycling.
B. Locations:
1. City Hall — 7713 Utica Drive. City Hall houses the the Administration Department that
consists of the City Clerk, the Finance Clerk and the City Administrative Assist. Hanley
Hills contracts is police services through the St. Louis County Police Department. The
officer and Court Clerk are housed also at City Hall. A paved parking lot is provided for
visitors/employees. Materials and supplies utilized in performing all building
maintenance, including custodial work, are stored within City Hall. A total of four
employees report to this facility.
2. Public Works Facility— 7559 Allen Green Drive. This facility houses the Maintenance
Department. The facility contains a main building, a covered equipment storage
building, and three covered commercial dumpsters. Hanley Hills has only one
commercial truck and various other commercial equipment. (See attached) The Public
Works Facility typically operates from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The hours vary during
emergency operations such as snow removal. A total of one employee and one
seasonal part-time employee report to this facility.

4. Hanley Hills Parks: Waste is not generated from Hanley Hills Parks by the Office or
other areas. As mentioned in other parts of this manual, Hanley Hills has a Creek that
is maintained and kept sanitary by the Maintenance Department and Hanley Hills in
20_ had part of their Creek cleaned of honeysuckle. Additionally, annually Hanley
Hills participates in Trash Bashes sponsored by MSD to clean its Creeks.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• 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.
F 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.
Hanley Hills does not have a swimming pool.
Page 9 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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. 4'
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 pickup 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 `r l
and non-hazardous substances, and proper
labeling of all containers. , ' '1

Fe Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
• Institute a preventive maintenance program to minimize fluid leaks and equipment
failures. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for leaks, collecting leaks with pans
or absorbent, and repairing leaks.
• All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at Hanley Hills'facilities are performed
indoors. On occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance work will be
performed in a paved area with provisions made to contain and clean up all drips and
spills.
• Use non-hazardous, environmentally safe products when possible. Avoid use of
chlorinated organic solvents.
• Environmentally safe detergents are used instead of caustic cleaning solutions.
• Flammable liquids are kept in a vented fire-rated cabinet.
• All supply material and waste containers are marked clearly and properly to identify the
contents.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling and health and safety.
• All supply material and waste containers are stored under cover to prevent contact with
rainfall; or when uncovered, containers are clean and sealed.
• Tops of containers have absorbent mats and
are free of standing liquid, and stored
containers are kept closed.
• Waste oils, filters, antifreeze, and other wastes
are collected in designated, labeled containers ., I x= ` ..
and recycled to the maximum extent .v
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.
Page 14 of 53 Rev.December2019
• 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.
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.

approved commercial facilities for washing.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Hanley Hills uses environmentally friendly vendors.
E. Wash bay design and waste disposal:
Hanley Hills has no Wash Bay.
F. Best Management Practices (BMPs):
FOR OFF-SITE WASHING
All vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when washing is needed.
F Commercial facilities used are verified to be in compliance with MSD sewer discharge
requirements. Facilities must discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer system, and
wash bays must be covered to prevent storm water in the sanitary system.
FOR MUNICIPAL WASHING
• Wash bay facilities are designed to collect wash water, pretreat with a sediment/oil trap
(interceptor), and discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The trap must be pumped
quarterly, or as needed.
• Wash bays are covered and wash area curbed or otherwise drained to prevent storm-
water runoff from discharging to the sanitary system. Uncovered wash bays have an inlet
valve to the sanitary sewer. The wash bay is cleaned and the valve is maintained closed
when washing is not occurring, to keep uncontaminated stormwater out of the sanitary
sewer. Post instructions regarding the use of the valve.
•. Mobile wash services must collect wash water for recycling or proper disposal into a
sanitary sewer.
*, Job-site mud removal is performed without detergent in a contained, permeable (gravel)
area with wash water infiltrating into soil or gravel.
Page 17 of 53 Rev.December 2019

Chapter 5 - Facility Repair, Remodeling and Construction
A. Description of Activities:
Hanley Hills utilizes contractors to provide renovations/repairs and capital
improvements to its Village e.g., street repair, tree pruning and creek cutting and
other major improvements. The Public Works Director and his staff may do minor
repairs such as replacing a door, painting, etc. at City Hall.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically, wastes consist of small amounts
of lumber cut-offs, wallboard scraps, empty paint cans, etc. Order and mix only the amount of
materials necessary for the work to be completed. Dispose of all waste properly, recycle
whenever possible. Never bury waste material or leave material in the street, gutter, or near
a creek or streambed that would allow the material to enter the stormwater system. Such
materials are disposed in the city hall dumpster for pick-up by the city contracted waste
hauler. Listed below are the disposal methods for various types of materials that are
generated from facility repairs and remodeling:

Page 19 of 53 Rev.December 2019
Leaks, drips, or spills should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up using "dry" methods,
absorbent materials or rags, or remove the contaminated soil or material.
Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. Never clean up concrete
equipment or paint brushes and allow the washout into the street, storm drains, drainage
ditches, or streams.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITY DESIGN
• Consider designing facilities for "Low Impact Development" to reduce the volume and rate
of stormwater runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer to information
on Low Impact Development from EPA's web site at: https_//www.epa.glov/r>:ps/iurtza,n-
runoff-low-impact-development for more information about Low Impact Development
methods.
• In designing stormwater drainage facilities, use 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 the following web site:
https://www.sustainable.omtenvironmentiwater/31 9-stormwater-managers-resource-
center-smrc
O Carefully design and install plumbing and stormwater systems to code, eliminating cross-
connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and stormwater runoff contacting
stored material.
6 Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer
and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II 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 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" requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a
MDNR 401 water quality certification. Waters of the United States include ditches, creeks,
rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit
requirements.
Page 20 of 53 Rev.December 2019
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
•. In accordance with city purchasing policies as stated in Chapter 1 and 2, every effort is
made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled materials.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and cover
stored materials to avoid 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 city
hall dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a city-
contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pick up trash that can be windblown daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fire-proof barriers and
doors, roofing material and insulating materials for asbestos content prior to demolition.
Manage material using certified asbestos personnel.
• Utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint on structures older than 1978.
Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.
• When scraping or washing to remove non-lead based paint, collect paint chips in a tarp for
proper disposal. Use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint whenever possible.
•, Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the sanitary
sewer, and that stormwater is sent to the storm sewer system.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a Land Disturbance Permit MO-R100A (if
regulated under a Phase II compliant land disturbance program) or Permit MO-R101 from the
MDNR. Stormwater operating permits will not apply unless process water will be discharged
to stormwater and not to the sanitary sewers.
H. Training:
All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities will be
trained on the BMPs presented in this chapter. Personnel should be trained in the items
noted below:
General housekeeping
Material storage, cleanup, and disposal
Material reuse and recycling
Equipment cleanup
Land disturbance erosion control
Reduction of material for disposal through storage, reuse, or recycling can greatly reduce
material and disposal costs, long term liability, preserve environmental quality, improve
workplace safety and provide a positive public image.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, Highways, Bridges
and Parking Facilities
Description of Activities:
Most highway agencies and municipalities are responsible for the cleaning and maintenance
of roadways, highways, and parking facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities
include, but may not be limited to, street sweeping, flushing, applying surface seals, patching,
snow removal, and emergency response to spills and accidents.
Street sweeping operations normally involve self-contained and powered collection devices,
utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work may be performed on a scheduled
basis, or when requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs where debris can
accumulate in the gutter line.
Many agencies flush bridge decks and parking structures in the spring to remove de-icing
chemicals and to clean the drainage structures. Also, flushing operations are performed on
sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates after flooding, creating hazardous
conditions.
Bridge decks and parking structures are normally sealed on a five-to-seven year cycle to
protect the concrete and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or cold
patching material.
Highway agencies plow and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction during
winter snow events. Typically, 200 to 400 pounds of salt per lane mile is used to de-ice the
pavement. Other chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when prevailing
temperatures fall below 20° Fahrenheit.
Most highway agencies are required to respond to emergency situations involving spills and
debris from vehicles. This work is performed if it is determined that the material which will be
removed from the public road right-of-way is of a non-hazardous nature. Hazardous material
is handled through hazardous material removal procedures not specified in this chapter.
B. Locations:
All road networks or public parking structures of the City of St. Louis, Saint Louis County, and
all municipalities within the boundaries of Saint Louis County. Hanley Hills maintains its 29
streets that are within the boundaries of Hanley Hills. (See map) St. Louis County and other
state agencies maintain all other public networks, roads, bridges and parking facilities.
Page 22 of 53 Rev.December 2019
C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking lots
include:
Public Works Director — (314) 374-3519
Building Maintenance Staff— (314) 725-0909
D. Materials/Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage:
Hanley Hills utilizes materials as needed and very little materials are stockpiled at the
maintenance garage.
E. Waste Generation, Storage, Disposal, Recycling: (EXAMPLE TEXT)
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. Again as noted in other parts of this manual,
for major street repairs, the contractors are required to safely dispose of waste generation,
properly handle storage if it is needed and to practice good recycling methods.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
MAINTENANCE - /1'414,
If certain road maintenance activities are
prone to produce pollutants that can be r ` s
carried off with stormwater runoff,
schedule these maintenance activities r
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 L{�
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.
DE-ICING
• Use calibrated chemical applicators for salt and brine
applications. tr
.. µ
Minimize the use of salt without compromising public j "
safety. { , #, c
• Stop salt feed on trucks at stop signs, where equipped. '• R ,
• Stored salt is on an impervious surface and is covered.
As available, use road weather information such as
weather forecasts, meteorological data, and
pavement sensors to maximize the efficiency
and effectiveness of resources.
Page 24 of 53 Rev.December 2019
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 7 - Maintenance of Parks, Green Spaces, Trails and Landscaping
A. Description of Activities:
The Village of Hanley Hills has three parks and has responsibility for the development and
maintenance of recreational areas and green space within the village.
B. Locations: Blossom Park is located at 123 Park Avenue.
Mildred Davis and Robert Myers Park located at 7713 Utica Drive.
Allen Green Park located at 7559 Allen Green Drive.
C. Responsible Parties:
The Director of Public Works has authority over all parks, but works collaboratively with the
Parks and Trees Commissioner. Contractors are utilized as needed.
D.Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage: Hanley Hills orders materials as
needed for park maintenance such as mulch.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Hanley Hills' parks do not generate waste. Where and when needed Hanley Hills orders
mulch from environmentally friendly vendors. As mentioned in others parts of this manual,
Hanley Hills contracted waste service provider, Waste Management, does the recycling
function of the city.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
PARK DESIGN AND SITING
e, 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.
f Avoid site development and placing facilities in the flood
plain. �Q .�

reduce the need for '
Select plants appropriate for site conditions for sun, moisture, and soil type.
Page 26 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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.orq/environment/water/3I9-stormwater-
ma nage rs-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.
• Organize or participate in reforestation programs,
planting native trees to buffer streams, create shade, ' p #
and beautify parks. Support community volunteer •: •a Qg 11 Sta► .

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 PI
application rate. '� i
• Apply fertilizer only in cool weather, preferably fall. ..:p x '�
Avoid application before a rain, and do not apply
fertilizer at rates higher than indicated in on label ' ' �" z' . - �; •f instructions. Apply slow release fertilizers such as t• t .- " `methylene urea, IDBU or resin coated fertilizer.• When disturbing land, such as clearing vegetation and
Page 27 of 53 Rev.December 2019
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/Land Disturbance 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.
s 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 techniques for
weed control. This includes practices that keep plants healthy, such as selecting disease
and pest resistant varieties and maintaining good growing conditions. For turf grass,
prevention of weed infestation begins with practices to promote healthy grass through
proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing, aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU
Extension Publication IPM1009: 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.
Page 28 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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.
F Dispose of pesticide waste properly, following label instructions.

Chapter 8 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm
Sewers and Inlet Structures
A. Description of Activities:
The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey surface runoff to receiving waters
during storms in order to prevent flooding. The system consists of improved and unimproved
drainage channels, culverts, bridges, trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers
and storm inlet structures. Maintenance of the system is necessary to ensure it functions
hydraulically as intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance
of improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance responsibilities are
defined in MSD's "Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems and
Facilities". Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining the storm sewer
systems on their property, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD system. In addition,
municipalities are responsible for maintaining bridges, storm culverts, ditches and gutters
along the streets in their city. MSD does maintain road inlets and culverts on systems
dedicated to MSD. MSD does not maintain detention and retention basins or yard swales.
Maintenance of basins and yard swales is the responsibility of property owners, as addressed
in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage
and Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
B. Locations:
The Village of Hanley Hills works in cooperation with MSD and does not have any
sewer systems that are not covered by MSD.

D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The Village of Hanley Hills Public Works Department stores equipment/materials and buys
supplies as needed. If needed, contractors are used for clearing areas that Hanley Hills'
equipment cannot handle.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Wastes generated from maintenance of the storm drainage system must be disposed of
properly, as indicated in the table. All waste being disposed of in a landfill must not contain
free liquid. Water draining from waste destined for a sanitary landfill is considered wastewater
and must be disposed of in a sanitary sewer system.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
GENERAL
•' Within budgetary constraints and responsibilities, perform preventative maintenance of
the storm drainage system to remove flow obstructions to reduce flooding and erosion
problems and improve water quality.
• Utilize care in cleaning catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels, to properly
collect and dispose of waste as indicated in Section E to minimize contaminants
discharged into stormwater. Note in the work order the volume of waste collected and
disposed of. Investigate into the source of increased maintenance needs, if excessive.
When possible, focus cleaning efforts before rainy seasons.
• If storm inlets/catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non-
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.
• Identify failing detention or retention basins and report them to MSD Customer Service
at 314-768-6260.
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Stormwater Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, employ BMPs for erosion
and sediment control.
CATCH BASINS
• Prioritize catch basins for routine maintenance on a +"s

• Consider installation of catch basin inlets in areas where storm sewers will be known to
receive excessive amounts of litter or sediment.
STORM SEWERS
• Prioritize storm sewers for routine maintenance on a specified frequency based on flat
grades, low flow, or review of work orders. Identify areas for additional maintenance
based on work orders generated by customer complaints and/or flooding.
• Utilize care in cleaning storm sewers by flushing, to properly collect waste using
debris/sediment traps.
• Seal/repair joints in structures to prevent root intrusion and soil wash-out.
• Minimize or avoid the use of chemical root/vegetation killers, and use the least toxic
alternatives when necessary.
DRAINAGE CHANNELS
• All construction or maintenance activities that excavate in or discharge any dredge or
fill material into a "water of the United States", which includes ditches, creeks, rivers,
lakes, ponds, and wetlands, requires a Corps of Engineers 404 permit and a MDNR
401 water quality certification. Examples of construction or repair activities requiring a
permit include: sewer creek crossings, outfall structures, stream bank stabilization, and
all channel modifications. See Appendix 5-F1 for a summary of permit requirements.
• Consider downstream conditions prior to spot channel stabilization efforts to avoid
simply moving problems downstream. Revegetate stabilized areas with native plants
whenever possible, and as soon as possible.
• MSD's Division of Environmental Compliance will inspect all open drainage channels
under its Illicit Discharge Detection Program, and will notify MSD's Operations
Department, St. Louis County, the municipality or MoDOT, as applicable, regarding
maintenance needs concerning damaged structures or blockages requiring removal.
MUNICIPAL DETENTION BASINS
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum extent
practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities".
• Inspect facilities to insure proper operation and maintain as needed, including: trash
and debris removal, vegetation control, vector control, structural and erosion repair,
and sediment removal to restore capacity.

Projects
A. Description of Activities:
New flood management projects located within the co-permittees jurisdiction must be
assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing projects must be assessed for incorporation
of additional water quality protection devices or practices, where feasible. Flood management
projects in the Plan Area can include: regional 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

APPENDICES
Appendix 2-Fl:
The Village of Hanley Hills
Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement
1. Policy
The Village of Hanley Hills 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 Village of Hanley Hills 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.
2. Methods to Achieve Solid Waste Reduction
A. Source Reduction: All members of the Village 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 Village 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. Village 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.
Page 36 of 53 Rev.December 2019
D. Purchase of Recycled Content Material: All Village 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.
3. 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:
The Village of Hanley Hills Green Procurement Policy
1. Policy Objective
The objective of this policy is to provide direction for greening Hanley Hills' 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 38 of 53 Rev.December2019
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 give consideration to the costs and benefits that accrue, in
the shorter and longer term, to the Village of Hanley Hills.
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.
S. 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
During the planning process, managers will assess the need for a given purchase and,
whenever possible,
Page 39 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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
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 a NWP does apply, contacting the Corps of Engineers is recommended
to determine thresholds for notification under the NWP, and to obtain additional regional
requirements imposed by the Corps' St. Louis Office.
The MDNR requires any project that needs a 404 Permit from the Corps (individual or NWP)
to also obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification (401 Certification) from MDNR. The 401
Certification is verification by the state that the project will not violate water quality standards.
The department may require actions on projects to protect water quality in the form of
certification conditions. For some of the NWPs, the MDNR has published their conditions that
must be met in addition to the NWP conditions.
After you contact the Corps about your project and, if applicable, submit an application, they
will send you a letter authorizing your project under a particular permit. If the Corp's letter to
you indicates that you must obtain an individual 401 certification, you must send an
application to MDNR also. If they state that MDNR has 'conditionally certified' your activity,
and have enclosed certification conditions, then nothing further is needed.
Questions about permit applicability and procedures for obtaining individual permits can be
found by calling the Corps of Engineers at 314-331-8575 or 314-331-8186. Permit application
forms and procedures for applying to the Corps and the MDNR can be found on the following
web pages:
https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Regulatory-Program-and-Permits/Obtain-a-
Permit/https://dnr.mo.qov/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.
s 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 Ouffall 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 48 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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.
Page 49 of 53 Rev.December 2019
Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
Village of Hanley Hills.
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.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.
Page 50 of 53 Rev.December 2019
• 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
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,
Page 51 of 53 Rev.December 2019
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
stormwater and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined
sewer system.
Page 52 of 53 Rev.December 2019
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.

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.

dispose of litter located on such owner's property which is dangerous to public health, safety or
welfare. Such notice shall be by registered mail addressed to said owner at his/her last known
address.
B. Action Upon Non-Compliance. Upon the failure, neglect or refusal of any owner or agent so notified
to properly dispose of litter dangerous to the public health, safety or welfare within three (3) days
after receipt of written notice provided for in Subsection (A), or within ten (10) days after the date
of such notice in the event the same is returned to the Village by the Post Office Department because
of its inability to make delivery thereof, provided the same was properly addressed to the last known
address of such owner or agent, the Health Inspector is hereby authorized and empowered to pay
for the disposing of such litter or to order its disposal by the Village.
C. Charge Included In Tax Bill. When the Village has effected the removal of such dangerous litter
or has paid for its removal, the actual cost thereof plus accrued interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum from the date of the completion of the work, if not paid by such owner prior

CHAPTER 410: FLOOD HAZARD PREVENTION
ARTICLE I. FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
SECTION 410.010: FINDINGS OF FACT—STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
A. The legislature of the State of Missouri has in Chapter 89 (Section 89.020) of the State Statutes
delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt floodplain management regulations
designed to protect the health, safety and general welfare. Therefore, the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Hanley Hills ordains flood regulations as set out herein.
B. The special flood hazard areas of the Village of Hanley Hills, Missouri, are subject to periodic
inundation which results in loss of life, property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce
and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and
impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general
welfare.
C. General Causes Of The Flood Losses. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of
development in any delineated floodplain causing increases in flood heights and velocities; and by
the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods, hazardous to others, inadequately
elevated, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages.
D. Methods Used To Analyze Flood Hazards. The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) that is the basis of this
Chapter uses a standard engineering method of analyzing flood hazards which consist of a series of
interrelated steps.
1. Selection of a base flood that is based upon engineering calculations which permit a
consideration of such flood factors as its expected frequency of occurrence, the area inundated,
and the depth of inundation. The base flood selected for this Chapter is representative of large
floods which are characteristic of what can be expected to occur on the particular streams
subject to this Chapter. It is in the general order of a flood which could be expected to have
a one percent (1%) chance of occurrence in any one (1) year as delineated on the Federal
Insurance Administrator's FIS, and illustrative materials dated August 2, 1995, as amended, and
any future revisions thereto.
2. Calculation of water surface profiles are based on a standard hydraulic engineering analysis of
the capacity of the stream channel and overbank areas to convey the regulatory flood.
3. Computation of a floodway required to convey this flood without increasing flood heights more
than one (1) foot at any point.
4. Delineation of floodway encroachment lines within which no development is permitted that
would cause any increase in flood height.
5. Delineation of flood fringe, i.e., that area outside the floodway encroachment lines, but still
subject to inundation by the base flood. (R.O. 2012 §410.010; Ord. No. 912 Art. I, 2-17-05)
465
§ 410.020 Hanley Hills Village Code § 410.030
SECTION 410.020: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this Chapter to promote the public health, safety and general welfare; to
minimize those losses described in Article I, Section 410.010(B); to establish or maintain the
community's eligibility for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP) as defined
in 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 59.22(a)(3); and to meet the requirements of 44 CFR
60.3(d) by applying the provisions of this Chapter to:
1. Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flooding
or cause undue increases in flood heights or velocities;
2. Require uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities that serve such uses, be provided
with flood protection at the time of initial construction; and
3. Protect individuals from buying lands that are unsuited for the intended development purposes
due to the flood hazard. (R.O. 2012 §410.020)

475
§ 410.140 Hanley Hills Village Code § 410.140
erected on a lot of one-half(1) acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with
existing structures constructed below the base flood level, provided in Subsections (2) through
(6) below, have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond the one-half(1) acre,
the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
2. Variances may be issued for the reconstruction or rehabilitation or restoration of structures
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the State Inventory of Historic Places or
Local Inventory of Historic Places upon a determination that the proposed activity will not
preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and the variance is the
minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
3. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels

be kept in alphabetical order and shall contain therein a cross reference to the number file wherein
the original is kept. (R.O. 2012 §410.240; Ord. No. 929 Art. III, 1-19-06)
SECTION 410.250: INSPECTION PROCESS
A. General.
1. Prior to the issuance of a floodplain development permit, an inspection of the site shall be
performed to verify that the proposed site is in the floodplain and to get a general idea of where
the structure will be built. All inspections shall be performed by the Floodplain Administrator
or his/her designee. All inspectors shall be aware of the floodplain development requirements
and shall report any suspicious activity in the floodplain to the Floodplain Administrator. No
inspections set forth herein shall take place more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the
last inspection. Upon issuance of a floodplain development permit, inspections of the site and
construction work shall be performed on a periodic basis as the construction work progresses.
2. All inspections performed shall be recorded by the inspector and the original shall be kept with
the file designated for the application of the permit. A copy of the inspection shall be kept by
the inspector in a separate file which shall be maintained by the Village Clerk underneath the
name of the applicant and such file shall be kept in alphabetical order by the Village Clerk.
The inspection file may be the same file in which a copy of the original application is kept.
3. The inspector will relate any deficiencies to the permit holder by issuing a correction notice to
the permit holder by mail as well as at the job site. A duplicate of the correction notice shall
be kept in both the application for permit file and the inspection file previously noted and shall
be maintained by the Village Clerk.
4. Construction documents shall be routinely reviewed by the inspectors prior to any inspection
489
§ 410.250 Hanley Hills Village Code § 410.250
to verify lowest floor elevation. A registered land surveyor or engineer must submit sealed
documents verifying elevations and actual location of floodplain boundaries as described in the
approved set of drawings. Elevation must be verified prior to placement of the lowest floor of
the structure. At or near the final inspection, several areas of flood development will be
reviewed including, but not limited to, landscaping, berms, retention areas, storm water
management and floodway encroachments.
5. At each inspection, the inspector shall confirm that the line between design and actual
construction/development is made in compliance with the approved plans. Any deviation noted
from the plans shall be noted as set forth above.
B. Inspection 1.
1. The first(1st)inspection shall be performed immediately after completion of surveyor's location
of base flood elevation (BFE) and precise construction location in the field. Inspection results
will be entered on the floodplain development inspection form. Permit holder will be provided
with the inspection results and a copy of the inspection form at the time of inspection or at a
subsequent meeting in person. The original inspection form shall be kept in the inspection file
and a copy thereof shall be placed in the permit file.
2. At the first (1st) inspection, with plans in hand, the inspector shall determine that site identified
on the proposed plans is consistent with actual ground conditions shall further verify the
location of floodplain and floodway boundaries, if applicable.
C. Inspection 2.
1. The second (2nd) inspection shall be performed just prior to the placement of the lowest floor
of the building. The inspector shall determine at that time whether the lowest floor will be
situated to the heights stipulated on the permit and construction plans, the type of foundation
used is the type set forth in the construction plans and shall check floodway encroachments, if
applicable. This inspection shall be performed by the inspector immediately after the foundation
is formed, but prior to the placement of any concrete.
2. Any discrepancies discovered by the inspector shall be recorded and shall be served upon the
permit holder as set forth for Inspection 1. The records of any notice of violation as well as
the inspection itself shall be kept as set forth for Inspection 1.
D. Inspection 3. At or near the completion of the development or the construction, a third (3rd)
inspection shall take place by the inspector to:
1. Determine whether the placement of fill, if used, meets the necessary slope and protection
standards contained in local regulations;
2. Inspect enclosures below the lowest floor to ensure adequately sized openings exist;
3. Check breakaway walls;
4. Check for floodway encroachments, if applicable; and
490
§ 410.250 Flood Hazard Prevention
§ 410.260
5. Check anchoring system used in securing manufactured homes.
This inspection shall be performed by the inspector after the improvements are fully completed. Any
discrepancies noted by the inspector shall be served upon the permit holder in the same manner as
set forth for Inspection 1. Records of the inspection and any notice of deficiencies shall be kept as
set forth in Inspection 1 above.
E. Future Additional Inspections. No future/additional inspections shall be required unless after
Inspection 3 the property does not pass inspection. Upon successfully passing Inspection 3, no
scheduled inspections will take place on the property. The Village reserves the right to inspect the
property from time to time to enure compliance with the Floodplain Management Regulations. All
permits issued shall specifically state that the permit is issued upon the condition that the Village of
Hanley Hills may perform an inspection upon the property at any time and that the applicant
consents to allowing the inspection to take place which includes allowing inspection of the Village
of Hanley Hills to come onto the applicant's property. The applicant shall further be notified that
the applicant must notify any subsequent landowner of this provision for the permit being issued and
that same condition will run with the land and continue indefinitely until such time as the Federal
Government or the State of Missouri determine that the property is no longer within a floodplain.
(R.O. 2012 §410.250; Ord. No. 929 Art. IV, 1-19-06)
SECTION 410.260: ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND PENALTIES
A. Violation.
1. Any non-compliance with the approved permit or any non-compliance with the Village
Floodplain Management Regulations shall constitute an ordinance violation. Any ordinance
violation so noted shall be subject to the penalties set forth herein. Any person or business
entity who is the permit holder shall be responsible for compliance with the Village Code and
subject to the violations set forth herein. Any discrepancy found shall be a violation whether
or not the permit holder knew or should have known of the violation.
2. The inspector shall upon noting any violation, in addition to issuing a notice of non-compliance,
seek the aid of a Police Officer within the Village of Hanley Hills to issue a summons to the
permit holder for the noted violation. Said summons shall require the permit holder to appear
in Municipal Court to answer to the charge made by the inspector. Any violation found by the
court shall be punished by a fine from fifty dollars ($50.00)to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00)
or from one (1) day in jail to ninety (90) days in jail or a combination of fine and jail time as
the court deems appropriate.
B. Stop Work Order.
1. If the non-compliance found by the inspector is serious or if the problem continues after follow
up inspections, the inspector shall issue a stop work order. The stop work order shall be hand
delivered in the field and followed up with a letter via certified mail. The letter will state the
issue of non-compliance, refer to the ordinance so violated and allow up to thirty (30) days to
correct the action. In the event that the permit holder fails to correct the violation within the
time stated in the stop work order or fails to stop work upon the project (except for work
necessary to bring the project into compliance), the Village will take any legal action necessary
to enforce its order as allowed by law. Such actions may include an injunction, a restraining
491
§ 410.260 Hanley Hills Village Code § 410.280
order and/or suit for damages. Despite this paragraph, the Village shall prosecute in Municipal
Court all violations of the Floodplain Management Code and of this Article.
2. In the event that the permit holder believes the inspector to be incorrect in his/her decision to
issue a stop work order, then the permit holder will have the right to appeal said decision to the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Hanley Hills. A hearing will be convened as set forth in
Section 410.220, except that the permit holder and the Village will have the opportunity to
present evidence at the hearing. A record of the hearing will be maintained. Any party
aggrieved by the decision of the Board shall have the right to appeal the decision to the Circuit
Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, as provided for in Missouri Statutes for Administrative
Appeals (see Sections 536.010, RSMo., et seq.).
C. Revocation Of Permit. Upon non-compliance with a stop work order and failure to correct the non-
compliance stated therein within the time frame specified therein, the Floodplain Administrator shall
revoke the permit issued pursuant to this Article. Once revoked, the permit holder must reapply for
a permit as if no permit had previously been issued. Any work done at the site after revocation of
the permit shall be subject to prosecution in Municipal Court as well as any civil action for
injunction and/or damages the Village deems appropriate. In the event the Municipal Court finds
that the permit holder knowingly violated the stop work order and notice of revocation of permit,
the court shall sentence the permit holder to a fine of five hundred dollars ($500.00) to one
thousand dollars($1,000.00) and shall sentence the permit holder to serve a minimum of twenty-four

beyond the undisturbed natural vegetative buffer, in which all impervious cover shall be
prohibited. Grading, filling and earthmoving shall be minimized within the setback.
3. No septic tanks or septic tank drain fields shall be permitted within the buffer or the setback.
B. Variance Procedures. Variances from the above buffer and setback requirements may be granted
in accordance with the following provisions:
1. Where a parcel was platted prior to the effective date of this Chapter, and its shape, topography
or other existing physical condition prevents land development consistent with this Chapter, and
the Building Commissioner of the Village of Hanley Hills fords and determines that the
requirements of this Chapter prohibit the otherwise lawful use of the property by the owner,
the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hanley Hills may grant a variance from the buffer and
setback requirements hereunder, provided such variance requires mitigation measures to offset
the effects of any proposed land development on the parcel.
2. Except as provided above, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hanley Hills shall grant no
variance from any provision of this Chapter without first conducting a public hearing on the
application for variance and authorizing the variance by an affirmative vote of the Board of
Trustees. The Village of Hanley Hills shall give public notice of each such public hearing in
a newspaper of general circulation within St. Louis County. The Village of Hanley Hills shall
require that the applicant post a sign giving notice of the proposed variance and the public
hearing. The sign shall be of a size and posted in such a location on the property as to be
clearly visible from the primary adjacent road right-of-way. In addition, the applicant shall
reimburse the Village for all costs of publication.
Variances will be considered only in the following cases:
a. When a property's shape, topography or other physical conditions existing at the time of
the adoption of this Chapter prevents land development unless a buffer variance is granted.
b. Unusual circumstances when strict adherence to the minimal buffer requirements in the
Chapter would create an extreme hardship.
Variances will not be considered when, following adoption of this Chapter actions of any
property owner of a given property have created conditions of a hardship on that property.

other impervious cover, the limits of all existing and proposed land disturbance, both
inside and outside the buffer and setback. The exact area of the buffer to be affected shall
be accurately and clearly indicated;
499
§ 415.050 Hanley Hills Village Code § 415.070
d. Documentation of unusual hardship should the buffer be maintained;
e. At least one (1) alternative plan, which does not include a buffer or setback intrusion, or
an explanation of why such a site plan is not possible;
f. A calculation of the total area and length of the proposed intrusion;
g. A storm water management site plan, if applicable; and
h. Proposed mitigation, if any, for the intrusion. If no mitigation is proposed, the request
must include an explanation of why none is being proposed.
4. The following factors will be considered in determining whether to issue a variance:
a. The shape, size, topography, slope, soils, vegetation and other physical characteristics of
the property;
b. The locations of all streams on the property, including property boundaries;
c. The location and extent of the proposed buffer or setback intrusion; and
d. Whether alternative designs are possible which report intrusion or no intrusion;
e. The long-term and construction water-quality impacts of the proposed variance;
f. Whether issuance of the variance is at least as protective of natural resources and the
environment. (R.O. 2012 §415.050; Ord. No. 948 §5, 3-18-08)
