McCarty St., Jefferson City MO 65101 Office hours are 8 am - 5 pm, Mon - Fri. 573.634.6410 www.jeffcitymo.org/CD Storm Drain Marking Citizens of Jefferson City want to protect their water resources including lakes, rivers, creeks, and groundwater. They value clean water for drinking, recreation, and as a vital part of a healthy fish and wildlife habitat. However, the water that we value is threatened when people dump contaminants such as oil, antifreeze, paint, and household or garden chemicals into stormwater drains in their yard, or into the gutter or drain along the street. Many people are unaware that the water or contaminants that enter these drains run directly and untreated into our creeks, rivers, and groundwater. Storm drain marking programs address this lack of understanding, by labeling stormwater drains with small placards with the inscription “No Dumping – Drains to Creek”. The information contained on these placards is meant to inform and remind people of the direct connection of these drains to creeks and rivers. In Jefferson City, we encourage volunteer organizations, youth groups, or civic clubs to take on the task of marking storm drains. Through this process, a greater number of citizens are made aware of the connection between the drains and our waterways. These people in turn will be able to further educate those with whom they come in contact. If you would like more information on storm drain marking, or if you would like to volunteer or get involved in a storm drain marking project, please call (573) 634-6410. If you or your organization would like to get involved in a storm drain marking project, please contact the City Stormwater Engineer. You will be provided with the authority, materials, literature, instructions, and a map of storm drains in an area that need to be marked. You will receive recommendations about how to remain safe around moving traffic and a reminder to always be cautious. Typically a group will perform two separate but equally important tasks when marking storm drains. One portion of the group will be attaching the markers to the drains while the other is passing out pamphlets to the houses in the neighborhood. These pamphlets will tell the residents what is happening in their neighborhood as well as conveying information and raising awareness about stormwater and storm drains. The pamphlets are specific to the area in which you will be installing the markers, noting the body of water into which the drains are discharging. They also contain information about how stormwater can become polluted when it comes in contact with oils and chemicals that may be dumped in the drain, but also other things that may litter our yards and streets, such as over applied fertilizer, car washing detergent, cigarette butts, pet waste, etc. CITIZEN INFORMATION SERIES INDEX CITIZEN INFORMATION SERIES Erosion Control and Streambank Stabilization CITY OF JEFFERSON Department of Community Development 320 East McCarty Street Jefferson City, MO 65101 PLEASE PLACE STAMP HERE For More Information: www.jeffcitymo.org/CD 573.634.6410 February 2011 Series No. Topic CDCI - 001 Community Development CDCI - 002 Voluntary Annexation CDCI - 003 Code Enforcement CDCI - 004 Trash Service and Recycling CDCI - 005 Temporary Food Permits CDCI - 006 Animal Protection & Control CDCI - 007 Basement Finishing Regulations CDCI - 008 Deck Requirements CDCI - 009 Fence Regulations CDCI - 010 Home Occupation Regulations CDCI - 011 Room Additions CDCI - 012 Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs CDCI - 013 Board of Adjustment Applications CDCI - 014 Planning & Transportation CDCI - 015 Rezoning CDCI - 016 Subdivisions CDCI - 017 Accessory Structures CDCI - 018 Flood Plain Management CDCI - 019 Zoning District Regulations CDCI - 020 Transit —Handi Wheels CDCI - 021 Public Works CDCI - 022 Sidewalk Regulations CDCI - 023 Storm Water Management CDCI - 024 Street Light Regulations CDCI - 025 Grading Permits CDCI - 026 Right-of -Way and Easements CDCI - 027 Residential Parking District Regulations CDCI - 028 Sewer Connection & Extension Regulations CDCI - 029 JC Regional Water Reclamation CDCI - 030 Household and Commercial Grease CDCI - 031 Mosquito Control CDCI - 032 Jefferson City Memorial Airport CDCI - 033 JEFFTRAN CDCI - 034 Veteran’s Plaza CDCI - 035 Electrical Permits CDCI - 036 Plumbing Permits CDCI - 037 Environmental Code Enforcement CDCI - 038 Disconnect Downspout CDCI - 039 Flood Hazard Mitigation CDCI - 040 Storm Drain Marking CDCI - 041 Solid Waste Mngmt CDCI - 042 Lawn & Garden Waste Mngmt CDCI - 043 Illicit Discharges CDCI - 044 Household Hazardous Waste Disposal CDCI - 045 Erosion Control & Streambank Stabilization CDCI - 046 Backwater Valve Rebate Program CDCI - 047 Glass Recycling ITCI - 048 GIS CDCI - 045 Citizen Information Brochures may be obtained from the Department of Community Development 320 E. McCarty St., Jefferson City MO 65101 Office hours are 8 am - 5 pm, Mon - Fri. 573.634.6410 www.jeffcitymo.org/CD Erosion Control and Streambank Stabilization The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, (NPDES) part of the Federal Clean Water Act, (CWA) requires point source and non-point source dischargers of listed pollutants to obtain NPDES permits for various activities. The Environmental Protection Agency considers silt and sediment loading of our waterways at the top of their list of pollutants needing to be reduced. When rain falls on a site that is being developed, the runoff carries not only soil particles (the major pollutant), but may also carry attached pollutants like petroleum products, metals, chemicals, pesticides, bacteria and organic products. Numerous studies have shown that sediment loading rates from construction sites are typically 10 - 20 times greater than pre- construction rates from un-developed land. In Jefferson City, developments greater than or equal to 1 ac. & sites less than 1 ac. , but part of a larger common development plan or sale, are required to comply with provisions of the CWA. Because of the CWA, the City is required to enforce a program to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff from construction sites. This is accomplished through a review of erosion control measures submitted as part of a developer’s site plan, and the monitoring of construction sites during the stages of development. Not all erosion comes from development sites. Other types of erosion which are prevalent in the City include yard erosion and streambank erosion. Many times, yard erosion results from concentrated water flow from downspouts or yard grading. These problems can be corrected with minimal effort and expense on the part of the homeowner, through various methods. Streambank erosion represents a concern for many homeowners in Jefferson City, as many properties contain drainage swales, ditches, or small streams. Stream bank erosion generally is precipitated by two factors. The first factor is the degradation of the existing stream banks by the placement of leaves, grass clippings, or other yard waste on the banks (which is prohibited by City Code). This material suffocates vegetation on the stream bank, causing it and its root system to die. Once dead, this system of roots is no longer able to hold the soil on the bank together, and as a result, bank erosion begins. The second factor involved in stream bank erosion arises from development. As more land is developed, more area is covered by surfaces that are impervious to water infiltration. This causes storm water to drain off the sites faster, and in greater volume than before. The existing ditches are not able to withstand the influx of water without changing. Erosion occurs as the stream begins to adjust to the increased flow, by increasing its width and depth. Stream bed and streambank erosion can be corrected through various methods, but it is always a good idea to seek professional advice first. Permits are sometimes required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as the MO Department of Natural Resources depending on the scope of work. If you have questions about erosion control or streambank stabilization please call the Department of Community Development at 573- 634-6410.
