The purpose of this policy is to provide an expeditious way for authorized companies that do business with the District on a regular basis to purchase and pick up prints of base maps and/or plans held on file by the District. This policy will allow the District to provide the necessary protection of sensitive areas within the St. Louis metropolitan area in the District boundary that could be subject to criminal acts based on available data concerning the District's sewer system.

I. The District staff will approve representatives from engineering or construction firms to pick up prints/plans without a waiting period. Documentation of representatives' employment in the form of a letter to the District signed by the CEO/President of the company will be kept on file at the District's offices along with a picture identification of the approved representative(s). The District will allow each company to have two approved representatives. Only these representatives on file and approved by the District will have the ability to pick up plans/prints without a waiting period. It shall be the engineering or construction companies' responsibility to inform the District should an approved representative leave their employment. The District still reserves the right to withhold plans/prints if they are in designated sensitive areas of the District. The sensitive areas will be determined by the District. Sensitive areas are defined to be areas that contain public or civic structures that must be protected due to its function or its public use.

II. Upon the approval of the Director, a procedure to fax a copy of identification along with documentation of employment sent at least one hour prior to pick-up of the maps/prints will be allowed in special cases only. The representative identified in the fax by picture will be the only person allowed to pick up the prints or layouts. This policy is subject to change by the District based on the status of alert established by the homeland Security Department of the United States of America.
