Chapter 1 - Program Administration
A. Introduction:
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) issued Phase II Storm Water Permit
MO -R040005 to the (municipality name) and 60 other co-permittees in St. Louis County,
effective March 10, 2003. The area served by the 61 co-permittees is collectively known as
the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4. One of the minimum control measures in the permit
that must be addressed by the co-permittees includes pollution prevention and good
housekeeping for municipal operations. Specifically, section 4.2.6.1.1 of the permit (Appendix
1-A2) requires each co-permittee to "develop and implement an operation and maintenance
program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or
reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations."
A Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 was
developed by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee in the
Fall of 2002 and submitted to MDNR as part of the application for the Phase II permit. As a
co-permittee under the state permit the (municipality name) is bound by the commitments
contained in the Plan. Chapter 14 of that Plan provided for organization of a municipal work
group to develop a model operation and maintenance program to be adopted by each of the
61 co-permittees.
This document represents the (municipality name) adoption of the work group's model
program as applicable and tailored to specifically meet (municipality name) needs and goals.
This program impacts all facets of municipal operations. It is the (municipality name) intent to
adhere to the policies and procedures stated herein in order to prevent pollution, to safeguard
the environment for the health and benefit of all (city) employees, residents and visitors and to
serve as a model for the entire regulated area. Where the municipal operations described in
this manual are contracted, rather than performed by municipal employees, the best
management practices (BMPs) will be imposed to the maximum extent practicable on the
contractor through purchasing or contract mechanisms by including BMPs in the scope of
work or job/service specifications. Contractors will be required to obtain all applicable
local/state/federal environmental permits. This program has been adopted by
(Resolution/Ordinance # ) on (Date), (See appendix 1-A4).
B. Policies:
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors is currently working to adopt several policies regarding
the purchase of recycled products; janitorial and other supplies exhibiting lower toxicity;
utilization of integrated pest management practices; and other pollution prevention policies.
C. Organization of Manual:
The SWMP prepared for St. Louis County by the Planning Committee contains a detailed
listing of BMP elements that were to be considered when developing a model operation and
Page 3 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
maintenance program for the 61 co-permittees. The Planning Committee placed these
elements into nine major categories of municipal operations/activities. Based on its size and
the nature of its municipal services each co-permittee may have activities in only some or in
all nine categories. For consistency within the Plan area, each of the nine categories is
addressed in the following Chapters 2 through 10. A statement of non -applicability is
contained in those chapters where the City of Bellefontaine Neighbors 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 City of Bellefontaine Neighbors will train all staff associated with activities that can impact
pollution in storm water runoff. Each chapter will identify employees who should be subject to
training on that particular chapter. Employees will receive general storm water pollution
prevention training provided by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Environmental
Assistance Office or others. Upon implementation of specific procedures, management will
review the new procedures that incorporate storm water BMPs, proper waste management
and applicable NPDES permit requirements with all employees affected. New employees will
be trained on applicable procedures within the first three months of employment. Contractors
working for the municipality and implementing BMPs for municipal work, as described in
Section A., must train their employees on applicable BMPs before work begins. To maintain
proficiency, a schedule of periodic retraining will be implemented, or provisions made for an
employee awareness campaign to ensure employees remain aware of the BMPs and proper
waste management.
Records documenting the training of employees and contractors must be maintained in file.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITIES
• Pool drainage and filter backwash water from chlorinated swimming pools, fountains
and lined ponds must be discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Other chlorinated
water from water line or tank disinfection must also be directed to the sanitary sewer.
• Any discharge to surface water of pool or backwash water from pools and ponds must
be dechlorinated prior to discharging into storm sewer system under the conditions of
an NPDES permit obtained by the facility. The NPDES permit requires ceasing
chlorination 7 days prior to discharge or using chemical dechlorination. These
discharges to surface water must be approved under local building code, and not
create a nuisance to adjoining property.
• Avoid using copper or silver -containing algaecides in pools, fountains and ponds.
• Ensure grease traps and oil/water separators in kitchens and food service areas are
maintained. Avoid sanitary sewer grease -blockage by regularly pumping out traps and
separators.
• Maintain site plumbing plans showing sanitary and storm sewer connections. Ensure
wastewater is discharged only to the sanitary sewer, and storm water to the storm
sewer. Label storm drain inlets to ensure they are used only for storm water drainage.
• Minimize the use of pesticides through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program.
An IPM Program uses monitoring of pest populations compared to an action threshold,
and then choosing the proper tactics, using nonchemical pest control practices, such as
mechanical and biological controls, when possible, or less toxic products when needed.
IPM does not rely on routine applications of pesticide based on a calendar date.
Page 10 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
Reduce the risk of West Nile Virus by reducing stagnant water (mosquito breeding
grounds) caused by cans, containers and tires present in litter and junk piles. Keeping
storm water drainage gutters and drains clean will also reduce conditions suitable for
mosquito breeding. Refer to MU Extension IPM Guides at:
http://ipm.missouri.edu/ipmresources.htm (See Chapter 7 for additional BMPs.)
• Minimize the use of herbicides through an Integrated Pest Management Program for
weed control. With turf grass, prevention of weed infestation begins with practices to
promote healthy grass through proper planting, watering, fertilizing, mowing,
aerification, and thatch control. Refer to MU Extension Publication IPM1009:
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agquides/pests/ipm1009.htm (See Chapter 7 for
additional BMPs.)
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
• Develop a policy to purchase Redcice a then Recycle
recycled products or products with
high post -consumer waste content
whenever practical. Many resources are available from the EPA WasteWise Helpline:
800 EPA -WISE. Website: http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-
hw/reduce/wstewise/wrr/buyq&a. htm
(See Appendix 2-F1 for a sample waste reduction and recycling policy.)
• Collect and recycle, to the maximum extent practicable, wastes generated by municipal
operations. (See the policy in Appendix 2-F1.)
• Develop policy to purchase environmentally preferred products whenever practical. For
a "Database of Environmental Information for Products and Services," see EPA
website: http://yosemite1.epa.gov/oppt/eppstand2.nsf/
(See Appendix 2-F2 for a sample green procurement policy or
http://www. pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/green-procurement-e. html).
• Provide for the proper disposal of all wastes generated or collected in the course of
municipal operations, in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws.
• Inspect facilities for litter on a regular basis, and clean up as needed.
• Keep trash container lids closed to keep rain out. Do not dispose of liquid waste in the
trash container.
• Ensure that the collection frequency of trash containers is appropriate to avoid
overflows.
• Outdoor material stockpiles at both permanent locations and at job sites should be
covered to protect from rainfall and prevent contamination of storm water runoff.
• Material stockpiles which can not feasibly be
covered should be surrounded by a berm or
otherwise contained so that storm water
runoff can be captured.
• 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
Page 11 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
should be stored and handled with appropriate safeguards to prevent contamination of
storm water from drips and spillage from the transfer of materials (for example, cover
storage containers, use collection trays for drips, maintain spill kits and floor drain plugs
to contain spills, etc.). Liquid containers should be stored under roof; or if outdoors,
containers should be kept clean and sealed water-
tight.
• Prevent spills of hazardous materials by selecting
storage areas that avoid traffic to minimize
accidental contact, and select areas that are away
from storm drain inlets and streams to minimize
the impact of a spill. Storage areas should be kept
clean and organized.
• Contain and clean up all spills immediately.
Ensure employees are familiar with spill response
procedures and the location of spill kits to enable
them to stop the spills at the source and contain the spilled material. With training on
hazards from a material safety data sheet, minor spills can be addressed by
employees, however, significant spills will require evacuation and contacting
emergency responders.
• Keep material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemicals onsite for information on
reportable spill quantities, proper handling, and health and safety issues.
• Maintain and post a list of emergency contact numbers for spill reporting and spill
clean-up contractor response, including: Missouri Department of Natural Resources
(MDNR) — 573-634-2436, National Response Center — 800-424-8802, and for releases
to the sewer, MSD — 314-768-6260. Reportable quantities (RQ) for chemicals are
listed on the MSDS, and petroleum RQs include: any amount released to a storm
sewer or waterway causing a sheen, 25 gallons from an underground tank, and 50
gallons from all other sources.
• Prepare for appropriately handling the clean up of the spilled material and disposal of
waste. Do not hose down spills to the storm sewer system. Clean up spills with dry
methods, using absorbent to 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
and non -hazardous substances, and proper
labeling of all containers.
• Regular inspections and inventory of material
storage and use areas should be performed
to ensure BMPs are being used.
COMMUNITY
• Develop/enforce ordinances for waste
containers which regulate size, type, covers
and water -tightness for residential,
Page 12 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
commercial and industrial areas. (See Appendix 2-F3 for language from the St. Louis
County Waste Management Code.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances against illegal dumping, littering and improper yard waste
disposal, providing for corrective action, enforcement and penalties. (See Appendix
2-F4 and 2-F5 for Model Ordinances.)
• Develop/enforce ordinances requiring pet owners, property owners, and equestrian and
animal boarding facilities to clean up wastes from their pets and other animals. (See
Appendix 2-F6 for Model Ordinance).
• Provide pet waste scoop dispensers and signage in parks and other public areas
frequented by pet walkers to promote the proper disposal of pet waste and notify the
public of ordinance requirements.
• Provide recycling and yard waste services for residential waste.
• Provide sufficient numbers of appropriately -sized waste receptacles at municipal
facilities and in public areas with regularly scheduled servicing, collection and disposal.
• Educate citizens on trash and pet waste issues to promote compliance with ordinances
using available methods such as resident newsletters, brochures, internet sites, storm
drain marking projects, etc.
• Promote and assist in neighborhood and stream clean-up activities.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances against illegal discharges to storm water from
sources such as failing septic tanks, septic tanks discharging to storm water, etc.
Ordinances to address illegal connections of sanitary sewers should be at least as
stringent as the Missouri Department of Health regulations in 19 CSR 20-3 and County
requirements, such as St. Louis County Plumbing Code Section 1103.
• Develop/enforce municipal ordinances requiring the proper maintenance of septic tanks
and other small onsite sewage disposal systems. For a model ordinance, see:
http://www.aniec.org/html/ord-modelseptic.htm
O&M PROGRAM
• Establish standard operation and maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules
and long term inspection procedures in accordance with this program manual with
emphasis on safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws and good
environmental stewardship.
• General housekeeping inspections of facilities and storage areas should be performed
once a month and records kept of the inspections.
• Develop record keeping procedures that effectively track implementation of program
elements and that provide the information necessary to meet the reporting
requirements of the MS4 permit.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Applicable MDNR general storm water permits must be obtained if the City of Bellefontaine
Neighbos engages in the following activities described by the following categories:
EquipmentNehicle Washing (G75, See also Chapter 4) - Car wash wastewater treatment
systems for design flows of 50,000 gallons per day or less. This includes no -discharge land
application systems. Provides for 500 gallons per day de-minimis exemption under certain
conditions.
Page 13 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
Recycling facilities (R80H, See also Chapter 9) - Solid waste transfer stations, and solid waste
recovery facilities.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
OPERATIONS
• Institute a preventive maintenance program to minimize fluid leaks and equipment
failures. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for leaks, collecting leaks with pans
or absorbent, and repairing leaks.
• All routine vehicle maintenance and repairs at (municipality) facilities are performed
indoors. On occasion and when necessary, outside maintenance work will be
performed in a paved area with provisions made to contain and clean up all drips and
spills.

G. NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit status:
Vehicle maintenance facilities of this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under
the Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES storm water
(Phase I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit R80C. As stated above, all of
(municipality) vehicle repairs and maintenance are preformed indoors or are otherwise done
without exposure to storm water. Therefore, a NPDES Storm Water permit is not required and
a no -exposure certification has been filed with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
H. Training:
Training on storm water BMPs will be provided to mechanics, storekeepers, material handlers,
laborers, equipment operators, janitors, and management staff working at facilities identified in
Section B. All employees will be provided safety training and training on written procedures
pertaining to general housekeeping. Implement monthly safety meetings to include
environmental training and HAZMAT training.

Chapter 4 - Vehicle/Equipment Washing
A. Description of Activities:
City of Bellefontaine Neighbors will wash vehicles and equipment at wash bay facilities
designed according to this chapter. Most vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when
washing is required.
B. Locations:
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors wash bay facilities are located at the following locations:
1) Maintenance Shed located at 9641 Bellefontaine Road
2) Shell Gas Station located at 11011 Bellefontaine Road
C. Responsible Parties:
The Department Heads are responsible for their fleet vehicles, the departments are
responsible for ensuring that vehicles are taken off -site to approved commercial facilities for
washing, or that washing on Fleet Services property is done in the locations specified in
Section B.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The wash soap to be used is NAPA car wash soap.
E. Wash bay design and waste disposal:
Wash water from vehicle and equipment washing must be disposed in the MSD sanitary
sewer, with pretreatment using a sediment/oil trap. The accumulated solids in the
sediment/oil trap must be pumped out and properly disposed of, such as at a wastewater
treatment plant by an MSD approved waste hauler. If floating oils and grease accumulate in
the sediment/oil trap, the contents must be disposed by a permitted waste hauler at a
commercial facility able to handle oily waste.
F. Best Management Practices (BMPs):
• All vehicles are taken to commercial facilities when washing is needed.
• Commercial facilities used are verified to be in compliance with MSD sewer discharge
requirements. Facilities must discharge wastewater to the sanitary sewer system, and
wash bays must be covered to prevent storm water in the sanitary system.
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.

Chapter 5 - Facility Repair, Remodeling and Construction
A. Description of Activities:
On an as -needed basis, city personnel perform minor renovations/repairs and small capital
improvements on city facilities, such as erecting or removing partitions, replacing a door or
window, painting, etc. Major projects are typically contracted out to commercial firms
specializing in the type of work required.
B. Locations:
City of Bellefontaine Neighbors Maintenance Shed contains a shop and material storage
areas for facility repair, remodeling and construction; and city employees are involved in these
activities. Repair, remodeling, construction and capital improvements are periodically
performed on all types of municipal facilities.
C. Responsible Parties:
Public Works Supervisor is the responsible party that will ensure all repairs, remodeling and
construction will be performed without subjecting the storm water system to any new
contaminant streams. He are responsible for the construction practices of the contractors that
work for them on municipal facilities.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Varies with nature of job. Materials are purchased on an as -needed basis and in quantities
expected to be completely consumed in the process of completing the project. Materials
used for every project will vary. The majority of materials are purchased on a project basis
and are consumed during that project. Materials should be stored indoors or under cover so
they are protected from rainfall and runoff. All unused portions of materials should be
properly secured to prevent loss, such as bagged cement. Tarps should be used on the
ground to collect fallen debris and other spilled material. Waste should be cleaned up on a
daily basis and properly disposed of as noted below in section "E".
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically, wastes consist of small amounts
of lumber cut-offs, wallboard scraps, empty paint cans, etc. Order and mix only the amount of
materials necessary for the work to be completed. Dispose of all waste properly, recycle
whenever possible. Never bury waste material or leave material in the street, gutter, or near
a creek or streambed that would allow the material to enter the storm water system. Such
materials are disposed in the city hall dumpster for pick-up by the city contracted waste
hauler. Listed below are the disposal methods for various types of materials that are
generated from facility repairs and remodeling:

Leaks, drips, or spills should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up using "dry" methods,
absorbent materials or rags, or remove the contaminated soil or material.
Clean up of equipment is to be performed in designated areas. Never clean up concrete
equipment or paint brushes and allow the washout into the street, storm drains, drainage
ditches, or streams.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
FACILITY DESIGN
• Consider designing facilities for "Low Impact Development" to reduce the volume and rate
of storm water runoff from impervious areas to improve water quality. Refer to information
on Low Impact Development from EPA's web site at:
http://www.epa.gov/owowwtrl/NPS/lid/lidlit.html for more information about Low Impact
Development methods.
• In designing storm water drainage facilities, use the following BMPs, in accordance with
MSD's storm water drainage facility design regulations, to improve the water quality of site
drainage: wet detention ponds, wetlands, structural filter systems, grass swales, vegetative
filter strips, and riparian buffers along streams. MSD's design regulations are contained in
the "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage
and Stormwater Drainage Facilities". Fact sheets on storm water management practices
Page 24 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
are available from the Storm Water Manager's Resource Center at the following web site:
http://www.stormwatercenter.net
• Carefully design and install plumbing and storm water systems to code, eliminating cross -
connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.
• Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and storm water runoff contacting
stored material.
• Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer
and pesticide.
LAND DISTURBANCE
• Comply with St. Louis County or municipal land disturbance ordinances and programs
implemented under the St. Louis County Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. For
projects less than the land disturbance program thresholds, prevent erosion of soil from
bare ground at the site by employing erosion and 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: www.stlouisco.com/plan/land disturbance.html
• 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.
CONSTRUCTION/REMODELING
• In accordance with city purchasing policies as stated in Chapter 1 and 2, every effort is
made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled materials.
• Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and cover
stored materials to avoid storm water impacts.
• Recycle or properly dispose of wastes, as indicated in Section E above.
• Never clean out or wash out paint or concrete mixers in the street or near a gutter, storm
drain or stream.
• Small quantities of inert demolition wastes and construction scraps are disposed in the city
hall dumpster. If larger quantities are generated, arrangements are made with a city -
contracted hauler for a special pick-up.
• Keep work sites clean, pickup trash that can be wind blown daily.
• Utilize certified asbestos inspectors to inspect floor tile, ceiling tile, fire -proof barriers and
doors, roofing material and insulating materials for asbestos content prior to demolition.
Manage material using certified asbestos personnel.
• Utilize certified inspectors to inspect for lead based paint on structures older than 1978.
Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.
• When scraping or washing to remove non -lead based paint, collect paint chips in a tarp for
proper disposal. Use water -based paint instead of oil -based paint whenever possible.
• Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the sanitary
sewer, and that storm water is sent to the storm sewer system.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Page 25 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
Land disturbance projects over 1 acre require a Land Disturbance Permit MO-R100A (if
regulated under a Phase II compliant land disturbance program) or Permit MO -R101 from the
MDNR. Storm water operating permits will not apply unless process water will be discharged
to storm water and not to the sanitary sewers.
H. Training:
All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities will be
trained on the BMPs presented in this chapter. Personnel should be trained in the items
noted below:
General housekeeping
Material storage, cleanup, and disposal
Material reuse and recycling
Equipment cleanup
Land disturbance erosion control
Reduction of material for disposal through storage, reuse, or recycling can greatly reduce
material and disposal costs, long term liability, preserve environmental quality, improve
workplace safety and provide a positive public image.

Chapter 6 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Roadways, Highways, Bridges
and Parking Facilities
A. Description of Activities:
Most highway agencies and municipalities are responsible for the cleaning and maintenance
of roadways, highways, and parking facilities under their maintenance purview. Activities
include, but may not be limited to, street sweeping, flushing, applying surface seals, patching,
snow removal, and emergency response to spills and accidents.
Street sweeping operations normally involve self-contained and powered collection devices,
utilizing belt conveyors or vacuum systems. This work may be performed on a scheduled
basis, or when requested, and is usually conducted on roads with curbs where debris can
accumulate in the gutter line.
Many agencies flush bridge decks and parking structures in the spring to remove de-icing
chemicals and to clean the drainage structures. Also, flushing operations are performed on
sections of pavement where mud or debris accumulates after flooding, creating hazardous
conditions.
Bridge decks and parking structures are normally sealed on a five -to -seven year cycle to
protect the concrete and steel reinforcement from corrosive elements.
Patching operations involve the preparation of potholes and the fill of either hot mix or cold
patching material.
Highway agencies plow and salt the roadways under their maintenance jurisdiction during
winter snow events. Typically, 200 to 400 pounds of salt per lane mile is used to de-ice the
pavement. Other chemicals, such as calcium chloride, are used when prevailing
temperatures fall below 20° Fahrenheit.
Most highway agencies are required to respond to emergency situations involving spills and
debris from vehicles. This work is performed if it is determined that the material which will be
removed from the public road right-of-way is of a non -hazardous nature. Hazardous material
is handled through hazardous material removal procedures not specified in this chapter.
B. Locations:
All road networks or public parking structures of the City of St. Louis, Saint Louis County, and
all municipalities within the boundaries of Saint Louis County.
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors Street Department maintains a total of 104 lane miles of
roadway within the City limits.
Page 27 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
C. Responsible Parties:
The responsible parties involved in the cleaning and maintenance of streets and parking lots
include:
Facilities Manager for City Hall — (314) 867-0700
Building Maintenance Superintendent — (314) 867-0700 (314)
Public Works Director — (314) 867-0700
Street Superintendent — (314) 867-0700
D. Materials/Supplies Acquisition, Storage and Usage:
Large quantities of materials are expended in the performance of work. Some material is
purchased and used immediately, while other material is stockpiled. Agencies working within
the constraints of their budget weigh fiscal responsibility against the immediate and long-
range needs for such materials, and adjust their purchasing habits accordingly.

maintenance operations on our road network. Recycling methods are employed if they are
determined to be cost-effective; however, in many instances, waste material must be removed
from the work site by various disposal methods.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
MAINTENANCE
• If certain road maintenance activities are
prone to produce pollutants that can be
carried off with storm water runoff,
schedule these maintenance activities
during times of dry weather if possible.
• Capture scrapings/rust/dirt/sandblasting
grit/over spray/drips, etc., from
preparation and painting of
bridges/structures/traffic control devices.
• For steel girders on bridges, utilize
certified inspectors to inspect for lead
based paint on structures older than
1978. Use only state certified removal contractors for lead based paint abatement.

parks, community gardens, bike and walking paths, linear and river parks, trees, public facility
landscaping and public street right-of-way landscaping. The city promotes an interconnected
system of open space and trails that facilitates active and passive recreational opportunities
for the community.
The creation and design of parks and open space can assist in management of storm water
by providing green infrastructure and a means of absorbing rainwater, slowing its release in to
streams, storing, filtering and slowing storm water runoff down and thus preventing or
reducing flash flooding downstream. Local governments have an opportunity to use their park
lands to benefit the environment and to demonstrate best practices for storm water
management.

F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
PARK DESIGN AND SITING
• Creating undeveloped, natural open space and preserving established trees and other
natural vegetation, particularly around natural drainage areas, such as creeks, is
recommended. Tree buffers and tall grass filters around streams improve water quality,
slow runoff and prevent erosion. A minimum buffer width of 50 feet is recommended.
• Avoid site development and placing facilities in the flood plain.
• Design park sites to preserve natural resources such as wetlands and existing natural
draining areas, minimizing their loss and maintaining existing trees and a riparian corridor
next to creeks to the degree possible. Minimize cre_, , er
consideration of the stream features to enable natur-t,.z�:
• Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to
reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer and
pesticide. Select plants appropriate for site
conditions for sun, moisture, and soil type.
• Utilize low impact development to minimize
impervious surfaces, See Chapter 5.
• In designing storm water drainage facilities, use the
following BMPs to improve the water quality of site
drainage and slow the release of water to streams: wet detention ponds, micro detention
basins, wetlands, rain gardens, vegetative filter strips and riparian buffers along streams,
structural filter systems, pervious pavement and green (vegetated) roofs. The use of
swales instead of curbs along roads and parking lots is beneficial to filter pollutants and
reduce the volume and rate of storm water flow. Fact Sheets on storm water management
practices are available from the Stormwater Manager's Resource Center at the following
web site: http://www.stormwatercenter.net
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
• Sponsor activities and annual events that involve the
groups, stream teams, etc., providing hands-on activiti
adopted parks and greenways. Typical activities inclu
programs, restoration projects, stream monitoring, sto

Chapter 8 - Cleaning and Maintenance of Drainage Channels, Storm
Sewers and Inlet Structures
A. Description of Activities:
The storm drainage system functions to collect and convey surface runoff to receiving waters
during storms in order to prevent flooding. The system consists of improved and unimproved
drainage channels, culverts, bridges, trench drains, gutters, ditches, swales, storm sewers
and storm inlet structures. Maintenance of the system is necessary to ensure it functions
hydraulically as intended. MSD has the major responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance
of improved channels and storm sewers in the Plan Area. Maintenance responsibilities are
defined in MSD's "Statement of Policy for Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems and
Facilities". Many of the co-permittees are responsible for maintaining the storm sewer
systems on their property, and on systems not dedicated to the MSD system. In addition,
municipalities are responsible for maintaining bridges, storm culverts, ditches and gutters
along the streets in their city. MSD does maintain road inlets and culverts on systems
dedicated to MSD. MSD does not maintain detention and retention basins or yard swales.
Maintenance of basins and yard swales is the responsibility of property owners, as addressed
in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage
and Stormwater Drainage Facilities".
B. Locations:
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors has no separate storm system. All structures are
identified on MSD base maps and are maintained by MSD.
C. Responsible Parties:
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
Director of Operations, Telephone: (314) 768-6261
Municipality
Public Works Department, Supervisor, Telephone: (314) 867-0076
D. Equipment/Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors does not clean inlets or flush storm sewers. Those
responsibilities are placed on MSD. The City notifies MSD by phone when complaints are
made. The clearing of debris from drainage channels is the responsibility of MSD. Road
culverts are the responsibility of the City of Bellefontaine Neighbors and are routinely cleared
of debris.
Page 38 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
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 storm water. Note in the work order the volume of waste collected and
disposed of. Investigate into the source of increased maintenance needs, if excessive.
When possible, focus cleaning efforts before rainy seasons.
• If storm inlets/catch basins, storm sewers and drainage channels are impacted by non -
storm water discharges or illegal dumping of waste, contact MSD, Division of
Environmental Compliance at 314-436-8710 for investigation and enforcement.
• 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.

waste, wood, paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, steel, and textiles.
B. Locations:
The recycling facility is located at the Waste Management Facility. The site is fenced and
paved for the general public use of the site. Most material is collected under the canopy,
where material is processed for shipping. Trucks enter the facility from the City's Public
Works yard to the east and deliver or remove dumpsters, container trucks, and baled
recyclables.
C. Responsible Parties
Waste Management has authority over the facility.
Waste Management: 314-269-0718
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Recyclable materials are picked up by Waste Management. Only collected recyclable
materials are kept on site until a significant quantity is obtained for shipping. Trash and waste
is removed from the site by attendants and not allowed to accumulate. The following

E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
A small amount of waste is generated by the public. Residents bring their recyclables to the
facility in non -recyclable containers and then leave the non -recyclable container (often, plastic
bags) behind. This small amount of waste is removed by attendants and disposed of in
sanitary trash containers. No dumping or disposal of trash is otherwise allowed on the site.
F. Best Management Practices (BMP): (Waste Management collects all Yard Waste)
• Yard waste composting operations and mulch piles should be located away from storm
water drainage systems, and must not be located within 100 feet of a natural creek or
man-made storm water drainage channel, 300 feet from a water well or 1,000 feet from a
sinkhole, under MDNR permit G97.
• Compost/mulch is confined by an impervious base with curbing or otherwise stored to
prevent leachate and runoff from contaminating storm water, and to prevent storm water
drainage running into the pile.
• Do not discharge leachate to storm water. As necessary to manage leachate, design a
system to collect and properly treat leachate or incorporate into the early stages of the
composting process.
• Materials that will pollute storm water are collected under a roofed structure or in an
enclosed dumpster.
• The public is notified by signage at the facility that lists materials accepted at the facility
and those unauthorized items that are not acceptable.
• Attendants are on duty to monitor use of the facility and to ensure unauthorized items are
not deposited by the public.
• The Police Department routinely patrols the facility to prevent unauthorized dumping.
• No fluids are drained into any storm water system.
• Every effort is made to ensure the facility is clean and that no unauthorized or
contaminated materials are deposited at the facility.
• Materials easily moved by wind must be stored in a manner to prevent the material from
becoming airborne and scattered.
• An emergency phone is available at the site for attendants to promptly report any problems
to the supervisors or the Police.
• Drums or containers of oil, petroleum products or hazardous materials are not accepted.
Also drums or containers that have previously contained these substances are
unacceptable for recycling at the facility.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Page 43 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
1. Recycling Center: Facilities involved in the recycling or composting of materials are
considered "municipal industrial" facilities under Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are
subject to separate NPDES Storm Water (Phase I) permitting requirements, unless they are
collection points only and completely protected from storm water (run-on and run-off).
Potentially applicable MDNR NPDES General Permits include: R8OH for Recycling facilities
and G97 for Yard Waste Compost sites. As noted above, all of the city's recyclable collection
and handling activities are conducted indoors or are otherwise conducted without exposure to
storm water. Therefore, an NPDES Storm Water permit is not required for the Recycling
Center. A "no -exposure certification" has been filed with the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources.
H. Training:
All City employees attending to the operation or using the recycling and composting facility will
undergo initial City -provided training upon employment. All employees are regularly instructed
on the use of equipment and handling of problem situations.

Chapter 10 - Water Quality Impact Assessment of Flood Management
Projects
A. Description of Activities:
New flood management projects located within the co-permittees jurisdiction must be
assessed for impacts on water quality. Existing projects must be assessed for incorporation
of additional water quality protection devices or practices, where feasible. Flood management
projects in the Plan Area can include: regional storm water control (retention basins, detention
basins); flood control levees and associated pump stations; storm water drainage conveyance
capacity improvements; projects involving land buyouts; and designated uses of flood plain
land.
Storm water management projects in both development and re -development will be assessed
for water quality impact, according to MSD's "Rules and Regulations and Engineering Design
Requirements for Stormwater Drainage Facilities", which address the Storm Water
Management Plan water quality requirements under MCM 5. Projects within designated levee
districts, such as Monarch -Chesterfield, Earth City and Riverport will be based on the Storm
Water Master Plan for these districts. All flood management projects involving channel
modification will also be assessed for aquatic and water quality impacts through the Corps of
Engineers 404 permit and MDNR 401 water quality certification process.
B. Locations:
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors does not install flood management controls. All projects
relating to storm water within the City of Bellefontaine Neighbors are constructed by MSD.
C. Responsible Parties:
All co-permittees that plan, design or install flood management projects are subject to this
chapter. MSD has general responsibility for storm water drainage facilities in the Plan Area.
St. Louis County, municipalities, and property owners have responsibility for the drainage
facilities not dedicated to, and maintained by MSD. St. Louis County and municipalities
maintain control over planning and zoning, land use regulations, and flood plain management
through ordinances.
D. Materials/Supplies acquisition, storage and usage:
Not applicable. For construction phase of work, land disturbance requirements will apply.
See Chapter 2 and 8 for construction and maintenance.
E. Waste generation, storage, disposal, recycling:
Not applicable. See Chapter 2 and 8 for maintenance.
Page 45 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
F. Best Management Practices (BMP):
• Implement and enforce ordinances and/or procedures requiring that water quality
factors be incorporated into the design and operation of storm water/flood control
structures.
• Inspect existing flood management facilities on a specified frequency to determine
water quality impacts and exploit opportunities for improvement.
• Existing control structures undergoing renovation are modified to the maximum extent
practicable to meet new construction criteria in MSD's "Rules and Regulations and
Engineering Design Requirements for Sanitary Sewage and Stormwater Drainage
Facilities".
• Design new flood management projects to prevent or minimize adverse water quality
impacts, exploring alternative programs utilizing non-structural flood damage reduction
and stream bank stabilization measures to the maximum extent practicable, such as
flood proofing houses, and buy outs.
• Use models based on fully developed conditions, and adopt a free board above base
flood elevation for development.
• Identify existing wetlands or other natural open space areas, particularly around
streams, and preserve them from development so they can provide natural attenuation,
retention or detention of runoff.
• Survey watersheds downstream from proposed projects to determine potential water
quality impacts. Design proposed projects to minimize downstream impact.
• Work closely with local governments, environmental organizations and others to
develop multi -use open space corridors along streams which will allow for overbank
floodplain storage.
• Floodplains are preserved to the maximum extent practicable.
• Use non-structural flood management practices to the maximum extent practicable,
utilizing acquisition of flood -prone property where possible.
• Open storm water conveyance systems are used to the maximum extent practicable to
preserve natural conditions and habitat.
• Channel improvement projects are to use natural approaches rather than concrete,
riprap or other "hard" techniques to the maximum extent practicable.
• Inlets and outlets from closed portions of conveyance systems are designed to
minimize scour and erosion.
• Trash racks are provided at outlet structures of detention ponds and other flood control
structures to capture trash and floatables.
• Employ natural solutions and use controls that preserve the hydrology of a site as a
first line of flood control to the maximum extent practicable.
G. NPDES Permit status:
Not applicable
Page 46 of 72Rev 2/18/05
H. Training:
Employees and contractors responsible for the planning and design of the flood management
projects identified in Section A will be trained on the BMPs in this chapter. In addition,
employees performing this work will be familiar with MSD's rules and regulations and
engineering design requirements for storm water drainage facilities.

maintenance program. The permittee shall also include a list of industrial
facilities the permittee owns or operates that are subject to EPA's Multi -Sector
General permit (MSGP) or individual NPDES permits for discharges of storm
water associated with industrial activity that ultimately discharge to the
permittee's MS4. The permittee shall include the permit number or a copy of the
industrial application form for each facility.
4.2.6.2.2
Any government employee training program the permittee uses to prevent and
reduce storm water pollution from activities such as park and open space
maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land
Page 49 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
disturbances, and storm water system maintenance. The permittee shall
describe how this training program will be coordinated with the outreach
programs developed for the public information minimum measure and the illicit
discharge minimum measure.
4.2.6.2.3 The permittee's program description shall specifically address the following
areas:
4.2.6.2.3.1 Maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long term inspection
procedures for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants to the

program.
4.2.6.2.5 How the permittee will evaluate the success of this minimum measure, including
how the permittee selected the measurable goals for each of the BMPs.
Other Permit Sections Pertinent to MCM #6
The following four sections contain pollution control requirements specifically for municipally
owned facilities and were, therefore considered when drafting the O&M Program under MCM
#6.
4.1.1.2
4.1.1.3
For facilities under the control of the permittee good housekeeping practices
shall be maintained to keep solid waste from entry into waters of the state to the
maximum extent practicable.
All fueling facilities under the control of the permittee shall adhere to applicable
federal and state regulations concerning underground storage, above ground
storage, and dispensers, including spill prevention, control and counter
measures.
Page 50 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
4.1.1.4 Substances regulated by federal law under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) or the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) that are transported, stored, or used
for maintenance, cleaning or repair by the permittee shall be managed according
to the provisions of RCRA and CERCLA.
4.1.1.5 All paint, solvents, petroleum products and petroleum waste products (except
fuels) under the control of the permittee shall be stored so that these materials
are not exposed to storm water. Sufficient practices of spill prevention, control,
and/or management shall be provided to prevent any spills of these pollutants
from entering a water of the state. Any containment system used to implement
this requirement shall be constructed of materials compatible with the
substances contained and shall also prevent the contamination of groundwater.
Other provisions of the permit also were considered in developing the municipal O&M
program. MCMs #3 (Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination), #4 (Construction Site Storm
Water Runoff Control) and #5 (Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New
Development and Redevelopment) all can apply to activities conducted by the municipal co-
permittee at municipally owned projects. While the permit requirements for these MCMs are
primarily geared toward the municipal co-permittee exerting control over these activities by the
people living and working within the municipality, logically similar controls must be applied to
municipal activities of the same nature. The municipal co-permittees must ensure that there
are no illicit discharges from municipal facilities, that there are runoff controls in place for
municipal land disturbance projects and that storm water management provisions have been
considered for new or redeveloped municipal properties.

Recycling Policy
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors
Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement
1. Policy
The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors is committed to good stewardship of the environment. A
key element of that stewardship is the reduction of the amount of solid waste going from the
city into landfills. Solid waste landfills have negative long-range environmental impacts, drain
community resources, and have limited capacity to accept the large quantities of waste
generated by our society today. The City of Bellefontaine Neighbors 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 City staff are responsible for implementing
operational practices that prevent waste from being produced. Examples include printing
reports and documents on both sides of the paper; printing appropriate numbers of
documents; using email rather than printed correspondence; and using products that are
reusable, refillable, repairable, non-toxic, recyclable. Products with reusable, returnable
packaging or items requiring the least possible packaging should be purchased when
practical. Every effort should be made to prevent excess or unneeded materials from being
purchased.
B. Reuse of Materials: All employees of the City are responsible for reusing products
whenever possible. An example would be to use dishes, glasses, and reusable flatware rather
than disposable paper and plastic ware.
C. Recycling: All City employees are responsible for separating identified recyclable materials
and placing them in appropriate recycling containers. City Recycling includes aluminum cans,
steel cans, batteries, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, hard back books, newspapers, phone
books, catalogs and magazines, brown paper bags, microfiche, news blend, office blend,
plastic bottles (#1 and #2 only), styrofoam and peanuts, toner cartridges, transparencies,
videotapes, and additional items as implemented. Facilities Management Recycling includes
construction/demolition debris, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, paint, pallets,
refrigerants, scrap metal, solvents, tires, yard waste, and additional items as implemented.
D. Purchase of Recycled Content Material: All City departments are responsible for making
efforts to purchase and use products manufactured from or containing recycled materials. All
recycled content purchases will be reported to the Purchasing Department for record -keeping
and reporting purposes.
Page 55 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
3. Procedures
The Director of Purchasing and Performance Evaluation is currently developing procedures
for the implementation of this Policy.

denial of the same. The report and recommendation may have attached to it such conditions as the
commission reasonably deems appropriate for consideration by the board of aldermen.
iv. The board of aldermen shall hold a public hearing with respect to the application upon at least fifteen
days' public notice. If the preliminary master development plan is approved by the board of aldermen, the
board shall adopt an ordinance rezoning the subject property to the Unified Master Development District,
adopting the preliminary master development plan with such conditions as may be specified in the
approval ordinance, and authorizing the preparation of a final master unified development plan consistent
with the approved preliminary master development plan and containing the additional requirements set
forth in this Division. Such ordinance shall become effective upon its passage.
(d) Final unified master plan or alternative zoning. Within twelve months following approval of the preliminary
master development plan, the petitioner may either: (a) submit one or more applications to rezone all or
portions of the subject property to a planned zoning district in accord with Division 1 of this Article; and/or (b)
submit one or more applications to rezone all or portions of the subject property to one or more of the
traditional residential, commercial or industrial zoning districts provided elsewhere in this Chapter; and/or (c)
submit a final unified master development plan for any portions of the subject property not included within
applications for planned or traditional zoning districts as provided in (a) or (b), above, to the planning and
zoning commission for its review and consideration. The final unified master development plan shall reflect the
entire unified master planned development. A petitioner may, upon approval of the board of aldermen, obtain
one or more extensions of time not to exceed twelve months each within which to submit any proposed final
unified master development plan. The final unified master development plan shall conform to the approved
preliminary master development plan and set forth the following information:
i. An outboundary survey plat with a licensed Missouri land surveyor's seal and statement of verification
regarding the source of the boundary dimensions, bearings, and source of contour data, and legal
description of the property. The plat shall also identify adjoining property owners and the record owners
thereof;
ii. The general area location and general type of existing trees over six (6) inches in caliper and, in addition,
an indication of those to be retained;
iii. The landscaping proposed for the Unified Master Development with proposed plant material by type,
including, trees, shrubs and any ground cover. The plantings in parking areas shall also be identified;
iv. The location and description of all retaining walls, fences and berms (including any materials and the
general appearance thereof);

Glossary: Definitions of Terms Used In This Document
The following definitions are specific to the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 and to the
(municipality).
Best Management Practice (BMP) means: Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution
of streams within St. Louis County from urban runoff. BMPs also include treatment
requirements, operating procedures and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks,
sludge or waste disposal or drainage from raw material storage. BMPs may be structural or
non-structural. (This definition adapted from Section (1)(C)1 of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200)
Coordinating Authority means: The municipal entity, which is one of the co-permittees to a
state issued Phase II storm water permit, that is recognized by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) as the party which will coordinate the activities of all of the co-
permittees in meeting the requirements of the permit. For the St. Louis County Plan Area, the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) has been identified in the permit as the
coordinating authority for the 61 co-permittees. One of the coordinating authority's
responsibilities is to prepare and submit an annual report to the MDNR on the status of
compliance of all 61 co-permittees with the permit and approved SWMP.
Co-permittee means: An individual permittee named in a Phase II permit that is issued to
multiple entities within a single urbanized area such as St. Louis County. Within the St. Louis
County Plan Area, each of the 61 co-permittees, is responsible only for the permit conditions
relating to the discharges for which it is the owner or operator and for carrying out the
responsibilities for which it has been designated within the SWMP. The co-permittees share
in the financial and administrative responsibilities under the permit and cooperate with each
other and with the coordinating authority in complying with the terms of the permit and with
meeting the commitments in the SWMP. The co-permittees are listed in Appendix 1 -Al.
Green Procurement - the procurement of products and services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose.
Green Product — a product that is less harmful than the next best alternative, having
characteristics such as:
• Being recyclable.
• Being biodegradable.
• Containing recycled material (post -consumer recycled content).
• Having minimal packaging and/or for which there will be take -back by the
manufacturer/supplier of packaging.
• Being reusable or contain reusable parts.
• Having minimal content and use of toxic substances in production.
• Producing fewer and/or less polluting by-products during manufacture, distribution, use
and/or disposal.

Municipality means: Any public entity as described in the definition of Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System. St. Louis County and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District are
considered "municipalities" for the purposes of the Phase II storm water permit along with the
59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees. The Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT) is also a "municipality" and operates an MS4 within the Plan Area.
However, MoDOT is covered by a separate state permit and is not a co-permittee under the
St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4 permit.
NPDES means: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This term was introduced
in Section 402 of the federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (last amended in 1987 and
now known as the Clean Water Act). Section 402 provides for the issuance of NPDES
permits for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States and specifies the
conditions under which permits may be issued. The 1987 amendments established the
phased permitting requirements for municipal storm water discharges. In Missouri, the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources has been delegated the authority to issue NPDES
permits.
Phase I means: The first phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
December 17, 1990. Phase I regulations provide for storm water permitting for industrial
facilities, for land disturbance sites 5 acres or greater in size and for MS4s having populations
greater than 100,000 (medium and large MS4s). Industrial facilities operated by
municipalities, regardless of size, are included under Phase I. See definition of "Municipal
Industrial Facility."
Phase II means: The second phase of the federal storm water regulations. These took effect
February 7, 2000. Phase II regulations provide for storm water permitting for MS4s, in
urbanized areas as defined by the Bureau of the Census, with populations below 100,000
(Small MS4s) and for land disturbance sites between 1 acre and 5 acres in size. Each of the
individual municipal entities within the St. Louis County Plan Area has a population below
100,000 and is, therefore, a Small MS4 subject to Phase II requirements.
Phase iI Permit means: Storm water permit # MO -R040005 with effective date of March 10,
2003, issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to the 61 St. Louis County co-
permittees. This permit was issued pursuant to the provisions of Missouri Storm Water
Regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200.
Plan Area means: The portion of St. Louis County served by separate storm sewers and
within the corporate boundaries of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. The Plan Area
includes the 59 cities, towns and villages who are co-permittees as well as unincorporated St.
Louis County. While there are a total of 77 municipalities in the Plan Area, 18 have
populations of less than 1000 and are therefore, exempt from the Phase II permitting
requirements, per Section (1)(C)22 of Missouri storm water regulation 10 CSR 20-6.200. The
City of St. Louis and twelve county municipalities adjoining the City of St. Louis are served by
combined sewers and are not part of the Plan Area. The Plan Area is identified in the Phase
II permit as the St. Louis Metropolitan Small MS4.
Plan Area Training Committee means: The Municipal Work Group defined above.
Page 69 of 72Rev. 2/18/05
Recycling Facility means any co-permittee-owned or operated facility which collects, for
recycling, common household recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, etc. or
which collects and processes yard wastes for use as mulch or compost.
St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning Committee means: The group of
22 representatives from municipal governments, St. Louis County, MSD and various state and
regional agencies which developed the Storm Water Management Plan for St. Louis County.
Separate Storm Sewer means: A pipe, conduit, conveyance or system of conveyances
(including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, manmade channels or storm drains) designed and intended to receive and convey
storm water and which discharges to waters of the state and which is not part of a combined
sewer system.
Storm Water means: rainfall runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) or Plan means: The Plan developed for the St.
Louis County Plan Area by the St. Louis Municipalities Phase II Storm Water Planning
Committee and approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources through the
issuance of NPDES permit MO -R040005.
Sustainable (green) Service - A service acquired from a supplier who has a green
operational policy and whose internal practices promote sustainability.
Threshold - the dollar value of contracts, above which a formal record is kept on file showing
that environmental criteria were considered when requirements were defined.
Urban Runoff means: Storm water and other runoff from streets, parking lots, rooftops,
residential, commercial and industrial areas and any areas that have been rendered
impervious through development activities. Such runoff becomes contaminated with
fertilizers, pesticides, vehicle drippings and emissions, animal wastes, street litter, yard
wastes, silt, chemical spills and other urban wastes. These contaminants are carried through
the separate storm sewers and discharged into area streams where they degrade the water
quality, harm aquatic life and other wildlife, reduce aesthetic and recreational values and
make the waters unsafe for human use.
(EACH CO-PERMITTEE CAN ADD DEFINITIONS OF ANY TERMS APPLICABLE TO ITS SPECIFIC NEEDS.)
