[R.O. 1998 § 550.130; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
Fleet maintenance facilities are
responsible for the maintenance and repair of equipment and vehicles
ranging from chain saws and light vehicles to loaders and tandem dump
trucks. Preventative maintenance or PMs include oil and filter changes,
tune-ups and tire rotations. Repairs include minor engine tune-ups
and transmission troubleshooting; brake, suspension or axle repair;
and welding work. There are fueling sites at City Hall and Public
Services. Outside contractors perform services such as major engine
repair, glass repair or replacement and all bodywork.
[R.O. 1998 § 550.140; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
A.
The main garage located at 3950 Industrial
Drive services the entire City operation. It is responsible for approximately
fifty (50) pieces of equipment. This location has one (1) welding
area and six (6) work bays. Three (3) of the work bays have aboveground
lifts. The materials/supplies used at this facility are all stored
inside.
B.
The majority of repair and maintenance
work is done inside; however, due to the difficulty in moving certain
pieces of equipment, some work is done at the job site. The above
location performs various vehicle and equipment maintenance for all
St. Ann departments.
[R.O. 1998 § 550.150; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
The Street Superintendent oversees
all aspects of fleet administration, repairs and operations. He is
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the garage along with
a working mechanic.
[R.O. 1998 § 550.160; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
Materials/supplies for all locations
are ordered through the main garage and delivered directly to each
location. The following materials and quantities are typically kept

A.
Operations — All St. Ann Facilities.
1.
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.
2.
All routine vehicle maintenance and
repairs at St. Ann 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.
3.
Use non-hazardous, environmentally
safe products when possible. Avoid use of chlorinated organic solvents.
4.
Environmentally safe detergents are
used instead of caustic cleaning solutions.
5.
Flammable liquids are kept in a vented
fire-rated cabinet.
6.
All supply material and waste containers
are marked clearly and properly to identify the contents.
7.
Keep material safety data sheets
(MSDS) for chemicals on-site for information on reportable spill quantities,
proper handling and health and safety.
8.
All supply material and waste containers
are stored under cover to prevent contact with rainfall; or when uncovered,
containers are clean and sealed.
9.
Tops of containers have absorbent
mats and are free of standing liquid, and stored containers are kept
closed.
10.
Waste oils, filters, antifreeze,
and other wastes are collected in designated, labeled containers and
recycled to the maximum extent practicable.
11.
Wheel weights are kept in a container
marked "scrap lead."
12.
Records of waste pickups are logged
and maintained in file.
13.
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.
14.
Used oil filters should be gravity
drained for twenty-four (24) hours with the anti-drain back valve
or filter dome punctured to facilitate the draining process. Crushing
the oil filter and recycling is preferred.
15.
Batteries, waste oil, etc. having
spill/leak potential are stored indoors and are in secondary containment,
when possible.
16.
Neutralizer and absorbent are kept
by both new and used batteries.
17.
All floors are clean of oil and grease.
18.
Immediately clean up all spills of
chemicals or vehicle fluids using dry methods (absorbents), minimizing
the use of water whenever possible.
19.
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.
20.
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.
21.
Keep the facility and surrounding
area clear of litter.
B.
Spill Prevention.
1.
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 six hundred sixty (660) gallons
oil in one (1) container or one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320)
gallons on-site.
2.
Procedures for loading, unloading
and transfer operations should be developed to prevent overfilling
and spills.
3.
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.
4.
For fueling areas, post signs that
state "no topping off."
5.
Regularly inspect all tanks and containers
to ensure physical integrity.
6.
Maintain equipment to ensure the
proper operation of automatic shutoff devices on pumps, and overfill
protection and spill buckets on tanks.
7.
Emergency phone numbers are clearly
posted in the shop and near material storage areas.
C.
Facility.
1.
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.
2.
A site-plumbing schematic showing
all drains, traps, and shutoffs 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.
3.
Storm drains/inlets can be labeled
to help protect from improper usage.
4.
All aboveground storage tanks have
secondary containment in accordance with SPCC requirements and are
covered with a roof. If containment is not roofed, inspect accumulated
rainwater for contamination prior to discharge.
5.
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.
6.
Stormwater treatment devices can
be used to treat runoff from fueling areas.
7.
"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.
[R.O. 1998 § 550.190; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
Vehicle maintenance facilities of
this type are considered "municipal industrial" facilities under the
Missouri Storm Water Regulations and are subject to separate NPDES
stormwater (Phase I) permitting requirements under MDNR general permit
R80C. As stated above, all of City of St. Ann vehicle repairs and
maintenance are performed indoors or are otherwise done without exposure
to stormwater. Therefore, a NPDES stormwater permit is not required
and a no-exposure certification has been filed with the Missouri Department
of Natural Resources.
[R.O. 1998 § 550.200; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]
Training on stormwater BMPs will be provided to mechanics, storekeepers, material handlers, laborers, equipment operators, janitors, and management staff working at facilities identified in Section 550.140. All employees will be provided safety training and training on written procedures pertaining to general housekeeping.
