[R.O. 1998 § 550.310; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]

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 550.320. Routinely stocked materials are identified in the following table.

Material	Maximum Quantity Kept On-Site	Storage Location
Lumber	100 linear feet	Parks maint.
Drywall	500 square feet	Parks maint.
Dirt	50 tons	Yard
Rock	50 tons	Yard
Oil-Based Paint	10 gallons	Flammable cabinet
Latex Paint	20 gallons	Parks maint.

Section 550.320 Waste Generation, Storage, Disposal, Recycling.

[R.O. 1998 § 550.320; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]

A. Waste generation varies with the nature of the job. Typically, wastes consist of small amounts of lumber cutoffs, 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 pickup 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:

Waste	Storage Requirements	Method Of Disposal	Contractor
Lumber, Drywall, Siding, Roof Shingles, Insulation	Dumpster or container	Sanitary or demolition landfill
Fluorescent, Sodium Vapor, Mercury Vapor Lamps	Closed, labeled container	Recycling as universal waste
Fluorescent Green Tip Lamps	Dumpster	Sanitary landfill
Fluorescent Light Ballasts	Closed, labeled container	Recycling or landfill (if PCBs, with approval)
Mercury Switch/Thermostat	Closed, labeled container	Reclaim	Hazardous material recycler
Asbestos Containing Materials (tile, insulation, roofing material)	To be managed only by certified personnel	Special waste landfill
Latex Paint Waste	Closed container	Energy recovery or sanitary sewer	Waste vendor or MSD
Oil-Based Paint Waste	Closed, labeled container	Energy recovery as hazardous waste
Lead Based Paint Removal Waste	To be managed only by certified personnel	Test for hazardous waste characteristics
General Trash	Dumpster or container	Sanitary landfill
Steel, Iron, Copper		Recycle
Carpet		Recycle or sanitary landfill	Green building recycling

B. 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.

C. Cleanup 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.

Section 550.330 Best Management Practices (BMPs).

[R.O. 1998 § 550.330; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]

A. Facility Design.

1. 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 website at: https://www.epa.gov/nps/urban-runoff-low-impact-development for more information about low-impact development methods.

2. 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 Storm Water Manager's Resource Center at the following website: http://www.stormwatercenter.net.

3. Carefully design and install plumbing and stormwater systems to code, eliminating cross-connections between sanitary and storm drain systems.

4. Design material storage and handling areas to avoid rain and stormwater runoff contacting stored material.

5. Design landscaping that uses native vegetation to reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide.

B. Land Disturbance.

1. 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/landdisturbance.html.

2. 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[1] for a summary of permit requirements.

[1] Editor's Note: Appendix 5-F1 is included as an attachment to this Code.

C. Construction/Remodeling.

1. In accordance with City purchasing policies as stated in Articles I and II, every effort is made to purchase materials that are manufactured with recycled materials.

2. Properly store materials as far away from storm inlets and streams as practical, and cover stored materials to avoid stormwater impacts.

3. Recycle or properly dispose of wastes, as indicated in Section 550.320 above.

4. Never clean out or wash out paint or concrete mixers in the street or near a gutter, storm drain or stream.

5. 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 pickup.

6. Keep work sites clean, pickup trash that can be wind-blown daily.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Ensure that facility plumbing connects all sanitary wastewater discharges to the sanitary sewer, and that stormwater is sent to the storm sewer system.

Section 550.340 NPDES Permit Status.

[R.O. 1998 § 550.340; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]

Land disturbance projects over one (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.

Section 550.350 Training.

[R.O. 1998 § 550.350; Ord. No. 2802 §1, 7-17-2012]

A. All employees involved in facility construction, facility repair and remodeling activities will be trained on the BMPs presented in this Article. Personnel should be trained in the items noted below:

1. General housekeeping.

2. Material storage, cleanup, and disposal.

3. Material reuse and recycling.

4. Equipment cleanup.

5. Land disturbance erosion control.

B. 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.
