                                    FOREWORD
This manual provides industrial facilities with comprehensive guidance on the development of
storm water pollution prevention plans and identification of appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs).  It provides  technical assistance and support to all  facilities subject to
pollution prevention requirements established under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permits for storm water point source discharges.

EPA's storm water program significantly expands the scope and application of  the existing
NPDES  permit system for  municipal  and  industrial process wastewater'discharges.   It
emphasizes pollution prevention and reflects a heavy reliance on BMPs to reduce pollutant
loadings and improve water quality.  This manual provides essential guidance in both of these
areas.

This document was issued in support of EPA regulations and policy initiatives involving the
development and implementation of a  National  storm, water program.  This document is
Agency guidance only. It does not establish or affect legal rights or obligations.  Agency
decisions in any particular case will be made applying the laws and regulations on the basis
of specific facts when permits are issued or regulations promulgated.

This document will be revised and expanded periodically to  reflect additional pollution
prevention information and data on treatment effectiveness of BMPs. Comments from users
will be welcomed. Send  comments to U.S. EPA, Office of Wastewater Enforcement-and
Compliance, 401 M Street, SW, Mail Code  EN-336, Washington, DC  20460.

                                    INTRODUCTION
 Storm water runoff is part of a natural hydrologic process. However, human activities, particularly
 urbanization, can alter natural drainage patterns and add pollutants to the rainwater and snowmelt
 that runs off the earth's surface and enters our Nation's rivers, lakes, streams, and coastal waters.
 A number of recent studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), State water
 pollution control authorities, and various universities have shown that storm water runoff is a major
 source of water pollution, declines in fisheries, restrictions on swimming, and these conditions limit
 our ability to enjoy many of the other benefits that the Nation's waters provide.

 In response to this problem, the  States and many municipalities have been taking the initiative to
 manage storm water more effectively.  In acknowledgement of the importance of the storm water
 problem, the Congress has directed EPA to undertake a wide range of activities, including providing
 technical and financial assistance to States and other jurisdictions to help them improve their storm
 water management programs. In addition, through recent amendments to the Clean Water Act, the
 Congress has instructed EPA to develop a  regulatory program for certain high priority storm water
 sources.

 In carrying  out its responsibilities, EPA is committed to promoting the concept and the practice of
 preventing  pollution at the source, before it can cause environmental problems costing the public
 and private sector in terms of lost resources and  the funding it takes to remediate or correct
 environmental damage.                          ,                                           ,

                                                                       *
 1.1   PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDANCE MANUAL

 This manual provides general guidance on developing and implementing a Storm Water  Pollution
 Prevention  Plan for industrial facilities.  Owners and operators of industrial facilities will find that
 putting together a Storm Water Pollution Prevention  Plan is a straightforward process that can be
 accomplished by facility managers and employees.

 EPA is publishing this manual for several reasons. The primary purpose of this manual is to  provide
 guidance for industrial facilities that are subject to requirements under EPA's General Permits for
 storm water discharges associated with industrial activity.  Facilities located in the 12 nondelegated
 States or 6 Territories are subject to these  requirements (see Section 1.6 for a list of States and
Territories subject to EPA General Permit requirements).  EPA anticipates that most storm water
 discharge permits issued under the Storm Water Program will require a pollution prevention plan.
Throughout this manual, specific EPA General Permit pollution prevention requirements are given in
the shaded  boxes as seen below. Although the requirements for a Storm Water Pollution
 Prevention Plan may vary from one permit to another, and from State to State, EPA expects that
 most of the general concepts described in this manual are common to all plan requirements.  Please
also note that, although this manual presents EPA General Permit requirements that apply to
facilities located in nondelegated States and Territories, some of the nondelegated States required
modifications or additions to the  pollution prevention plan requirements to ensure that the permit
complies with State laws and standards. Therefore, it is important that all facilities located in
delegated States, as well as nondelegated States, read their permits to determine whether there are

any special conditions.  This manual is not intended in any way to substitute for binding legal
requirements pursuant to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
                           EPA GENERAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
                            Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
 A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan shall be developed for each7 facility covered by this
 permit. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans shatl be prepared in accordance with 900**'
 engineering practices* The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution which may
 reasonably be expected to affect the quality of storm water discharges' associated with industrial
 activity from the facility.  In addition, the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of
 practices which are to be used to>educe the ppHutants fn storm water discharges associated
 with industrial activity at the facility and to assure compliance with the terms anrf conditions of
 this permit. Facilities roust implement the provisions of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
 Plan required under this part as a condition of this permit. _          .
In addition to providing guidance for facilities that are subject to storm water permit requirements,
this manual contains information that is generally useful for controlling storm water pollution from
almost any type of developed site.  EPA hopes this manual is widely used in furthering the
prevention of pollution at its sources and the adoption of management practices that help us
protect the overall quality of the environment.

EPA is also issuing a guidance manual on Best Management Practices {BMPs) for construction
activities. If you are subject to requirements under the general permit for storm water discharges
associated with construction activities, that manual is designed to help you comply with those
somewhat different requirements.


1.2  ORGANIZATION OF THIS  GUIDANCE MANUAL

This manual is presented as a user's guide to Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan requirements.
Step-by-step guidelines and accompanying worksheets will walk you through the process of
developing and implementing  a Storm Water Pollution  Prevention Plan. This approach allows you
to complete this process in  the simplest and most efficient way.  The worksheets are designed to
help you organize the required information.  The remainder of this manual is divided into three
sections:  Chapter 2 provides information on how to develop a plan; Chapter 3 serves as a resource
for selecting activity-specific Best Management Practices (BMPs); and Chapter 4 discusses site-
specific BMPs.  As you complete each section, you will move through each of the  following steps
and end up with a fully developed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Each step is important
and should be completed before moving on to the next step. The five major phases involved in
developing and implementing  your plan are as follows:

Chapter 2 provides step-by-step guidance for completing each of these phases. The Organization
Phase starts the process by helping you to get organized and by identifying who is going to develop
and implement the plan and by identifying site-specific pollution prevention objectives.  The
Assessment Phase involves gathering information about your site and identifying potential sources
of storm water pollution. Using the information collected during the Assessment Phase, you can .
begin to design the storm water management program that best suits your site. During the BMP
Identification Phase, you will evaluate the required baseline BMPs and select other preventive
measures.  The fourth stage of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Planning process is the :
Implementation Phase, during which you put the plan into action. The final step, the Evaluation
Phase, allows you to determine if your plan is actually accomplishing your pollution prevention
objectives. Periodic reviews,  inspections, and evaluations will allow you to keep the plan effective
and up-to-date.

In Chapter 3, which details activity-specific BMPs, you will find a number of measures you can use
to prevent or reduce the contamination of storm water caused by specific industrial activities.
Chapter 4 describes site-specific BMPs.  From the list of site-specific BMPs, you can select
prevention and control measures that are most appropriate for the physical characteristics of your
facility.  A combination of these types of BMPs may be most appropriate for your site,       •

In addition, there are several appendices located at the end of this manual. Appendix A lists the
references used to develop this manual.  Appendix B includes a glossary of terms.  Appendix C
provides a model of what a pollution prevention plan might look like for a small industry. Appendix
D provides State and Federal storm water and pollution prevention contacts and additional
information on pollution  prevention. Appendix E provides technical  and design fact sheets for some
of the storm water BMPs described in Chapter 4. Appendix F describes tests for non-storm water
discharges.  Appendix G compares Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan requirements with plan
requirements under other environmental programs.  Appendix H is a list of reportable quantities for
hazardous substances under 40 CFR Parts 117 and 302.  Appendix 1 is the list of water priority
chemicals under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Section 313.
Appendix J includes a table of the monitoring requirements that are contained in EPA's General
Permits.


1.3 SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL

This manual provides useful information on many pollution prevention arid best management
practices which you can use to prevent or reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants in
storm water runoff from your site.  This manual describes the practices and controls, tells how,
when, and where to use them, and how to maintain them. However,  the effectiveness of these
controls lies fully in your hands. Although specific recommendations will be offered in the
following chapters, keep in mind that careful consideration must be  given to selecting the most
appropriate control measures based on site-specific features, and on properly installing the controls
in a timely manner.  Finally, although this manual provides guidelines for maintenance, it is up to
you to make sure that your controls are carefully maintained or they will prove to be ineffective.

This manual describes the EPA General Permit requirements for pollution prevention plans.
However, requirements may vary from permit to permit.  You should read your permit to determine
the required components of your pollution prevention  plan. Although this manual describes
"typical" permit requirements, do not assume that the typical permit requirements described in this
manual are the same  as your permit requirements even if you are included under an NPDES general
permit for storm  water discharges associated with industrial activities.  Permit conditions may vary
between different permits and/or different versions of the permit.

EPA has issued a number of regulations addressing pollution control practices for different
environmental media  (i.e., land, water, air,  and ground water). However, this manual focuses on
identifying pollution prevention measures and BMPs specifically for industrial storm water

discharges and provides guidance to industrial facilities on how to comply with storm water
permits.                                              .

Although Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans primarily focus on storm water, it is important to
consider the impacts of selected storm water management measures on other environmental media
(i.e., land, air, and ground water).  For example, if the water table is unusually high in your area, a
retention pond for contaminated storm water may also lead to contamination  of a ground water
source unless special preventive measures are taken.  Permittees must take these issues into
consideration in selecting appropriate pollution prevention measures and should make certain that
adoption of storm water measures is consistent with other Federal,  State, and local environmental
laws. For instance, under EPA's July 1991 Ground Water Protection Strategy, States are
encouraged to develop Comprehensive State Ground Water Protection  Programs. Your facility's
efforts to control storm water should be compatible with the ground water protection objectives
reflected in your State's program.


1.4  DEFINITIONS

As you use this manual to select pollution prevention approaches, you  will see two key phrases
used frequently:  "pollution prevention plan" and "best management practice." A solid
understanding of these terms is very important in meeting the goals of storm  water management
discussed above.
 Pollution Prevention Plan
The first term of importance is "storm water pollution prevention plan." As mentioned in Section
1.1, this manual is designed to help you to prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan. As you will learn in Chapter 2, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans consist of
a series of steps and activities to, first, identify sources of pollution or contamination on  your site,
and, second, select and carry out actions which prevent or control the pollution of storm water
discharges.
 Best Management Practice
The other concept used throughout this manual is "Best Management Practice" or BMP. BMPs are
measures or practices used to reduce the amount of pollution entering surface water, air, land, or
ground waters. BMPs may take the form of a process, activity, or physical structure.  Some BMPs
are simple and can be put into place immediately, while others are more complicated and require
extensive planning or space. They may be inexpensive or costly to implement. Although BMPs are
used in many environmental programs, the BMPs presented in this manual are specifically designed
to reduce or eliminate pollutants* in storm water discharges.  Chapter 2 describes the baseline BMP
requirements of EPA's General Permit for storm water discharges associated with industrial activity.
Chapters 3 and 4 describe numerous specific BMPs that will help you comply with these
requirements.


1.5   GOALS OF STORM WATER MANAGEMENT

Federal, State, and local storm water  management programs have a common goal:
   To Improve Water Quality By Reducing trie Pollutants Contained In Storm Water Discharges
                                            1-4                             September 1992

                                                                       Chapter 1-Introduction
 Meeting this goal is a difficult challenge for many reasons. For example, the original sources of the
 pollutants transported in storm water can be diffuse or spread out over a wide area.  So, small oil
 and grease spills at hundreds of different facilities within a single city can collectively represent a
 major pollution problem. In addition, the nature of storm water is such that the amount of
 pollutants that enter receiving waters will vary in accordance with the frequency, intensity and
 duration of rainfall and the nature of local drainage patterns.  Considering the wide variety of types
 of industries in the United States and the  wide range of materials and chemical compounds that are
 used as part of different industrial activities, a site-specific pollution prevention plan tailored for
 each facility  is considered the most effective, flexible, and economically practical approach to
 achieve effective storm water management.

 The pollution prevention plan approach required by EPA gives facilities flexibility to establish a site-
 specific stor,m water management program to meet Best Available Technology/Best Control
 Technology (BAT/BCT) standards required by the Clean  Water Act instead of imposing numerical
 discharge limitations. Yet, the BMP framework established by the pollution prevention plan
 requirements must be fully implemented to meet these standards.


 1.6  SUMMARY OF  THE STORM WATER PROGRAM

 Storm water discharges have been increasingly identified as a significant source of water pollution
 in numerous  nationwide studies on water  quality. To address this problem, the Clean Water Act
 Amendments of 1987  required EPA to publish regulations to control storm water discharges under
 NPDES. EPA published storm water regulations on November  16, 1990, which require certain
 dischargers of storm water to waters of the United States to apply for NPDES permits.  "Waters of
 the United States" is generally defined as  surface waters, including lakes, rivers,  streams,
 wetlands, and coastal waters.  NPDES storm water, discharge permits will allow the States and EPA
 to track and  monitor sources of storm water pollution.  According to the November 16, 1990, final
 rule, facilities with a "storm water discharge associated  with industrial activity" are required to
 apply for a storm water permit.  EPA has defined this phrase in terms of 11 categories of industrial
 activity that include: (1) facilities subject  to storm water effluent limitations guidelines, new source
 performance  standards, or toxic pollutant  effluent standards under 40 CFR Subchapter N; (2)
 "heavy" manufacturing facilities;  (3) mining and oil and gas operations with "contaminated" storm
 water discharges; (4) hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities; (5) landfills, land
 application sites, and open  dumps; (6) recycling facilities;  (7) steam  electric generating facilities; (8)
 transportation facilities, including airports; (9) sewage treatment plants; (10) construction
 operations disturbing 5 or more acres*; and (11) other industrial facilities where materials are
 exposed to storm water*.  Operators of industrial, facilities that are Federally, State, or municipally
 owned or operated that meet the above  description  must also submit applications.  If you have
 questions about whether or not your facility needs to seek permit coverage, contact the  EPA Storm
 Water Hotline at (703) 821-4823.

 Storm water  discharges associated with industrial activity that reach waters of the United States
 through Municipal Separate  Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) are also required to obtain NPDES storm
 water permit coverage.  Discharges of storm water to a  combined sewer system or to a Publicly
 Owned  Treatment Works (POTW) are excluded.

 The storm water regulation presents three permit application options for storm water discharges
 associated with industrial activity. The first option is to  submit an individual application consisting
 of Forms 1 and 2F. The  second option is to participate in a group application. The third option is
to file a Notice of Intent (NOD to be covered under a general permit in accordance with the
    *On June 4, 1992,  the  United  States  Court of Appeals for the  Ninth  Circuit remanded the
exemptions for manufacturing facilities which do not have materials or activities exposed to storm
water and for construction sites of less than five acres to the, EPA for further rulemaking.

Chapter 1—Introduction
requirements of an issued general permit. Regardless of the permit application option a facility
selects, the resulting storm water discharge permit will most likely contain a requirement to develop
and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

NPDES permits are issued by the State for States that have been delegated NPDES permitting
authority or by  EPA for States that have not been delegated NPDES permitting authority.
Therefore, the specific EPA General Permit requirements discussed in this guidance manual apply
only to facilities located in one of the 12 nondelegated States or Territories (Alaska; Arizona; Idaho;
Louisiana; Maine; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Mexico; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Texas;
the District of Columbia; Puerto Rico; Guam; American Samoa; Northern Mariana Islands; Trust
Territory of the Pacific Islands; Indian lands  in Alabama, California, Georgia, Kentucky,, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New York, Nevada, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah,  Wisconsin, Wyoming; located within  Federal facilities or Indian lands in
Colorado and Washington; and located within  Federal facilities in Delaware). EPA expects,
however, that the Federal general permit will be used as a model by NPDES-authorized States,
tailored to meet State-specific conditions. Even though storm water permit requirements will vary
from State to State depending on water quality concerns and permitting priorities for the permitting
authority, EPA expects that most NPDES storm water discharge permits will contain Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan requirements similar to the  requirements presented in this manual.:

               STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
 Chapter 2 presents a step-by-step guide to help you develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
 Plan for your facility.  Figure 2.1 is a flowchart showing each step involved in developing and
 implementing a successful plan. As shown in this flowchart, the steps have been grouped into five
 general phases, which are:  (1) planning and organization; (2) assessment; (3) BMP identification;
 (4) implementation;  and (5) evaluation/monitoring.  In addition, Storm Water Pollution Prevention
 Plans also must address a number of general requirements, including developing a schedule or
 deadlines for the accomplishment of tasks, and an identification of signature authority, where
 required by Federal regulations.  Some types of facilities will also have to meet other special
 requirements.  For example, special requirements apply to facilities that discharge through
 municipal separate storm water systems as well as those facilities that are subject to reporting
 requirements under EPCRA, Section 313 for water priority chemicals.

 Figure 2.1 also' identifies a number of worksheets that can help walk you through the planning
 process. These worksheets are located at the end of Chapter 2.  You can pull them out,
 photocopy them, and simply incorporate the completed forms in your plan.

 The five planning phases, general requirements, and special requirements are discussed in turn in
 the remainder of this chapter. To help you follow along, a simplified version of the flowchart for
 the entire planning process is shown at the beginning of each section, with a highlighted box
 showing the particular phase that is being discussed. So, for example, you will find that the
 Planning and Organization Phase is highlighted on the flowchart at the top of page 2-3, signaling
 the beginning of our detailed discussion of this first step.

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
What are the Roles and Responsibilities of the Designated Individual or Team?

The designated individual or team will be the driving force behind the development, implementation,
maintenance, and revision of the facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.  One of the first
tasks of those responsible is to define and agree upon a clear and reasonable set of goals for the
facility's overall storm water management  program. Where a team is involved, the responsibilities
or duties of specific team members should be clearly defined.

Areas of responsibilities include initial site assessment, identification of pollutant sources and risks,
decision making on appropriate BMPs, directing the actual implementation of the BMPs, and then,
regular evaluations to measure the effectiveness of the plan.  Details of these procedures are
described in the latter part of this chapter.

To ensure that the Storm Water Pollution  Prevention Plan remains effective, the person or team
responsible for maintaining the pollution prevention plan must be aware of any changes that are
made in plant operations to determine if any changes must be made.

While a designated individual or a pollution prevention team can be assigned the job of developing
and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, plant management is ultimately
responsible for the implementation of the plan and for compliance with all applicable storm water
requirements. Accordingly, the designated individual or team must have a clear line of
communication with plant management to ensure that they are able to function in a cooperative
partnership.


Who Should be on a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team?

Any team,  by definition, involves decision making and planning in a group setting. This allows for
people with different ideas and areas of expertise to share knowledge  and collectively figure out
what works best for a particular facility.  To broaden the base of involvement in the facility's storm
water pollution prevention program, team members should represent all phases of the facility's
operations.

For example, at a large facility, a team may be comprised of representatives from  plant
management, all aspects of production operations, engineering, waste handling and treatment
(environmental department), and, if applicable, research and  development.  See Figure 2.2 for an
illustration of an example team organizational chart.

Not all facilities will have or require all of these "team" positions.  As mentioned above, team
membership depends on the type of operations occurring at a facility.  For example, a small
trucking operation may find it appropriate to designate a single individual or a very small pollution
prevention team with experience in key types of facility operations, such as vehicle maintenance,
vehicle washing, fueling, and materials handling.

For a facility that has already designated a spill prevention and response team, the facility may use
some of these personnel on the storm water pollution prevention team, thus overlapping the two
groups to a certain extent.  However, the roles and responsibilities of the pollution prevention team
reach beyond the activities of a spill prevention and response team, and consequently, it would not
be appropriate for a facility simply to substitute the spill response team for the pollution prevention
team without clearly examining the roles and requirements related to storm water management (see
Section 2.1.2).

Worksheet #1 (located at the end  of Chapter 2) is an example of an appropriate form on which to
list the team members.  To complete this  worksheet, list the pollution prevention team members by
name,  facility position (title), phone number, and include a brief description of each member's
specific responsibilities. This list can be directly incorporated into the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan, but it should also be displayed or posted within the facility so that other plant
employees are aware of who is responsible for storm water management.


EPCRA, Section 313 Facility Team Requirements

EPA's  General Permit contains  more specific pollution prevention team requirements for facilities
subject to reporting under EPCRA, Section 313 for water priority chemicals [Part IV.D.7.b.(9).].
The team must designate a person who will be accountable for spill prevention at the facility and
identify this person in the plan. The designated person is responsible for setting up necessary spill
emergency procedures  and reporting requirements to isolate, contain, and clean up spills and
emergency releases of Section 313 water priority chemicals before a discharge can occur.

 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and
 Countermeasure (SPCCJ plans developed for the facility under Sectkm 311 of the Cfean Water
 Act or BMP programs otherwise required by an NPDES permit for the facility as long as such
 requirement is incorporated into the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
Many industrial facilities may have already incorporated storm water management practices into
day-to-day operations as a part of an environmental management plan required by other
regulations.  Potentially relevant elements of a number of different types of plans are listed in
Appendix G at the end of this manual.  The plans addressed include:  the Preparedness, Prevention
and Contingency Plan [40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 264 and 265], the  Spill Control and
Cpuntermeasures requirements (40 CFR 112), the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Toxic Organic Management Plan (40 CFR 413, 433, 469), and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Emergency Action Plan (29 CFR 1910).  It is the responsibility of the
pollution prevention team to evaluate these other plans to determine which, if any, provisions may
be incorporated into the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
In some cases, it may be possible to build on elements of these plans that are relevant to storm
water pollution prevention. For example, if your facility already has in place an effective spill
prevention and response plan, elements of that spill prevention strategy may be relevant to your
approach for storm water  pollution prevention.  More specifically, lists of potential pollutants or
constituents of concern may provide a starting point for your list of potential storm water
pollutants. Although you  should build on relevant portions of other environmental plans as
appropriate, it is important to note that your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan must be a
comprehensive, stand-alone document.

    After identifying who is responsible for developing
    and implementing your plan and organizing your
    planning process, you should proceed to this next
    step—a  pollutant source assessment.   This is
    where you take a look at your facility and site and
    determine, what materials or practices are or may
    be  a source of contaminants to the storm water
    running off  your site.   To complete this phase,
    you will:

       •  Assess the potential sources of storm water
         pollution at your facility

       •  Create a map  of the facility site to locate
         pollutant  sources and  determine  storm -
         water management opportunities

       •  Conduct a material inventory

       •  Evaluate past spills and leaks

       •  Identify non-storm water discharges  and
         illicit connections

       •  Collect or evaluate storm water quality data

       •  Summarize the findings of this assessment.
                            EPA GENERAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
                           Description of Potential Pollutant Sources
  Each plan should provide a description: of potential sources which may be reasonably expected
  to add significant amounts of pollutants to storm water discharges or which may result in the
  discharge of pofiutants during dry weather from separate storm sewers draining the facility.
  Each plan shall identify all activities and significant materials which may potentially fae sfenificant
  pollutant sources*
This phase is designed to help you to target the most important pollutant sources for corrective
and/or preventive action, thus using a "risk-based" approach to environmental protection.  Details
on how to complete this assessment are provided in the next six subsections of this chapter (see
2.2.1-2.2.6). These sections of the manual will help you discover areas at your facility that have
the potential for contributing pollutants to storm water. Within each of the following sections, you
will find helpful worksheets and suggestions for accomplishing a complete and accurate
assessment of existing and potential problems.  Each of the required components builds  on the
others; therefore, it is very important to perform each step thoroughly.

The facility site map is basically an illustration of the overall site and location, and should indicate
property boundaries, buildings and operation or process areas, as well as provide information on
drainage, storm water control structures, and receiving streams. Locating these features on the
map will help you assess where potential storm water pollutants are located on your site, where
they mix with storm water, and where storm water leaves your site. All of this information is
essential in identifying the  best opportunities for storm water pollution prevention or control.
Worksheet #2 (located at the end of Chapter 2) is designed to help you  develop an appropriate and
useful site map.

Rgures 2.3 and 2.4 are good examples of site maps with different layers of information to help
locate sources of pollution  on your site. When properly drafted, your site map will be a very useful
too! to assist in designing the proper pollution  prevention controls, thereby preventing further
degradation of water quality  by reducing additional water pollution.


Outfalls and Drainage Areas

Once boundaries and facility  structures have been shown on your site map; you should identify all
of the storm water outfalls (also called "discharge points")  on your site. A storm water outfall is
the point where storm water enters a natural waterway or a separate storm sewer system. If your
facility  has its own storm water conveyance system, locate where the pipes or conveyances
discharge to a stream, river,  lake, or other water body.  If your facility discharges to a municipal
separate storm sewer system, your onsite drainage point into the system is an outfall.  However,
on many sites, storm water is simply collected in ditches. The discharge points may not be so
obvious, particularly when  it  is not raining.  In these cases, it may be necessary to inspect your site

particularly when it is not raining. In these cases, it may be necessary to inspect your site during a
rain storm to identify your discharge points.  Clearly label each outfall either with letters (A, B, C,
etc.) or numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) so that you can easily reference these discharge points in other
sections of your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

Working back from the storm water outfalls you have identified, now determine the drainage areas
for each outfall (see Figure 2.4).  A topographic map can help with this task if one with the suitable
scale is readily available. For larger facilities (greater than 25 acres), 7.5 minute topographic maps,
available from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), probably have the level of detail
necessary to determine site drainage patterns.
 Maps may be purchased from local commercial dealers or directly from USGS information
 offices. Check your locai yellow pages for commercial dealers.  Topographic maps may also be
 purchased by mail. Standard topographic quadrangles cost $2.50. You can order maps from
 the following locations:                                                .

For smaller sites, examination of a topographic map may not reveal very much about the drainage
patterns of the site.. A simple alternative is to examine the contours of your site.  A visual
observation of flows or the use of small floatables or dyes in concentrated flows are simple
methods to determine drainage patterns on your facility.  Drainage patterns may be very obvious in
some cases, -such as drainage down a particular hill oh the site.  In areas where the site appears to
be relatively flat, a rough study of storm water flow during a rain event should provide you with a
sufficient sense of the flow patterns.


Structural Storm Water Controls

Other features to include on the site map are the locations and identification of any existing
structural control measures already in place that are used to control or direct storm water runoff.
A structural control measure is any physically constructed feature you have onsite that is used
specifically to change the way that storm water flows or that is  used to remove pollutants from
storm water. Examples of structural controls include:  retention/detention ponds, flow diversion
structures (including ditches and culverts), vegetative swales,  porous pavement, sediment traps,
and any soil stabilization or erosion control practices.  See Chapter 4 for a more complete
description and illustrations of these structures. Each structure should be clearly identified on the
site map, as illustrated in Rgure 2.3.


Surface Waters

On the site map, you should label all surface water bodies on or next to the site.  This includes any
stream, river, lake, or other water body (see Figure 2.3 as an example).  Each water body should
be identified by name.  If you do not know the  name of the water body, you can check the USGS
topographical maps discussed above for the legal name.  Your municipal government may also have
municipal maps that identify small streams by name.  If your storm water runoff flows into a small,
unnamed tributary, the name of the  downstream water body will be sufficient.

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Potential Pollutant Sources

To develop a useful site map for your facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, you must
also indicate other items on the map so that you understand what activities are taking place in
each drainage area, and therefore, what types of pollutants may be present in storm water from ,
these areas.  These features include:,                              .

    •  Topography of site (discussed above)

    «  Location of exposed significant materials (see Section 2.2.2)

    •  Locations of past spills and leaks (see Section 2.2.3)

    •  High-risk waste generating areas and activities common on industrial sites, such as:

      -  Fueling stations
      -  Vehicle and equipment maintenance
      -  Vehicle and equipment washing
      -  Loading and unloading areas
      -  Above-ground liquid storage tanks
      -  Industrial waste management areas and outside manufacturing
      -  Outside storage of raw materials, by-products, or finished products.

You will notice that specific BMPs may  be applied to control the amount of pollutants in storm
water discharges from these areas (see  Chapter 3). Now is the time to determine if any of these
activities take place onsite, and in which drainage areas they take place.

The next step in the Assessment Phase is to conduct a material inventory at your site, specifically
looking for materials that have been exposed to storm water and measures you have taken to
prevent the contact of these materials with storm water. Maintaining an up-to-date material
inventory is an efficient way to identify what materials are handled onsite and which may
contribute to storm water contamination problems.  As discussed above, these potential pollutant
sources should be identified on your facility's site map.

Worksheet #3 (located at the end of Chapter 2) will help guide you through the process of
conducting a material inventory for your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.  Although an
inventory of all materials (exposed and not exposed) is required as part of EPA's General Permits,
conducting such an inventory is a good first step in compiling a list of exposed materials.  If any of
the significant materials on your site have been exposed to storm water in the three years prior to
the effective date of your permit, fill out Worksheet #3A and include it in your plan.


Inventory of Exposed Significant Materials

"Significant materials," as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(12), are substances related to industrial
activities such as process chemicals, raw materials, fuels, pesticides, and fertilizers (see Glossary in
Appendix B for exact definition).  When these substances are exposed to storm water runoff, they
may be carried to a receiving stream with the storm water flow.  Therefore, identification of these
materials helps to determine where a potential for contamination  exists and is the first step in
identifying appropriate BMPs to address this contamination potential.

To inventory the materials on your site, inspect your site carefully.  You may wish to  use the site
checklist (page 2-14) to help you  identify exposed materials.  Focus on areas where you Store,
process, transport or transfer any materials used or produced during your industrial processes.
Check any storage tanks, pipes or pumping areas and note any leaks or spills. Observe any loading

September 1992                            2-13

-------
 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
 or unloading operations and indicate whether any industrial materials are exposed to storm water
 during those processes.  Look at any unsealed dumpsters or disposal units/areas where you deposit
 wastes from your industrial activities and document instances where waste materials are exposed
 to rain.  Also pay attention to material handling equipment, including everything from vehicles to
 pallets, where raw and waste materials from your industrial activities are exposed. Finally,
 consider areas such as the roof where particles are emitted from air vents and are likely to fall
 within your drainage areas.                                                        .

  Q Does your facility show signs of poor housekeeping (cluttered walkways, urtswept floors,
     uncovered materials, «tc.)?         -                             - -" "

  Q Are there spots, pools, puddles, or other traces of oil, grease, or other chemicals on the
     ground?                               ,

  Q Is there discoloration, residue,  or corrosion on the roof or around vents or pipes that ventilate
     or drain work areas? ,

  D Do yog see leaking equipment, pipes, containers, or lines?

  D Are there areas where absorbent materials (kitty litter, saw dust, etc.} are regularly used?

  Q Do you notice signs such as smoke, dirt, or fumes that indicate material losses?

  Q Do you smelt strange odors, or experience eye; nose, or throat irritation when you first enter
     the work area? These are indications of equipment leaks.

  Q Do storage containers show signs of corrosion or leaks?

  D Are there open containers, stacked drumsr shelving too small to properly handle inventory, or
     other indications of poor storage procedures?

  D Are containers properly labeled?
These are some basic guidelines meant to help you determine what kinds of things to look out for.
This.list does not necessarily cover every possible source of pollutants. As the site operator, you
are responsible for knowing the particular concerns associated with your activity. Be as detailed as
you can in your description of the significant materials exposed at your facility.  Discuss what you
found in your assessment, the amounts present and their location.  Update this inventory whenever
new,  significant materials are introduced and exposed onsite so that your management practices
can be modified to suit any changes.

Next, you should  give closer scrutiny to areas where you store or dispose of industrial materials.
Inspect your various containers carefully and note whether there are any openings, holes or leaks
that allow storm water to contact significant materials in those containers.


Existing Management Measures and Treatment of Storm Water Runoff

Now that you have  described the potential pollutant sources in storm water runoff from your site,
you should describe what management practices you currently use.  Management practices can be
as simple as scheduled sweeping of the material transfer area. In this section of your plan you
must  describe both  structural and nonstructural management practices. Structural management

                                              Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
practices are those practices that entail construction of manmade structures such as berms,
detention ponds, or grassed swales, whereas nonstructural management practices involve regularly
scheduled actions (such as sweeping, inspections, or improved materials handling and management
practices).

Remember that the purpose of BMPs is to keep the pollutants out of storm water runoff by
reducing material exposure to storm water, directing the storm water away from contaminated
areas, or reducing the volume of potentially polluting materials on the site.

Finally, you must describe any treatment that you provide for the storm water discharges from your
site.  The treatment of storm water is often accomplished through holding in a detention pond
which allows for settling of inorganic solids and partial removal of organic contaminants. In the
case of detention ponds, you should describe the size and average depth of each pond on your site
(storage volume). You should also provide any design criteria (i.e., design flow rates, etc.) for the
pond  that may be available to you from engineering design reports or diagrams. Your site may also
direct some of your storm water into your process water treatment system.. If so, you should
identify what type of treatment is provided, and whether this is allowed under your NPDES or other
discharge permit. In any case, be sure to specify areas from which the treated storm water drains.

 Such list shall be updated as appropriate during the term of this permit.
The next component of the assessment phase of your pollution prevention plan is a list of
significant spills and significant leaks of toxic or hazardous materials that have occurred at your
facility. This list provides information on potential sources of storm water contamination. The first
question that comes to mind is "What is a significant spill or leak?"

EPA has defined "significant spills" to include releases within a 24-hour period of hazardous
substances in excess of reportable quantities under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 102 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA).  Reportable quantities are set amounts of substances in pounds, gallons, or other units
and are listed in 40 CFR Part 117 and 40 CFR Part 302.  This list is included as Appendix H in this
manual.  If your facility releases these listed hazardous substances to the environment in excess of
these amounts, you are required to notify the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as soon
as possible.  Releases are defined to include any spilling,  leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting,
emptying, discharging, injecting,  escaping', leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.

Worksheet #4 (located at the end of Chapter 2) can help you organize this list of leaks and spills.
The areas on your site where significant leaks or spills have occurred are areas on which you
should focus very closely when selecting activity-specific or site-specific BMPs.

If several of these events have occurred at your facility, pay special attention  to Section 2.3.1,
which discusses spill prevention and response procedures. Adequate spill  prevention and response

-------
 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
 procedures are one of the BMPs that should be included in your pollution prevention plan.  Using
 the proper procedures will reduce the likelihood of spills or releases in the future, thus reducing the
 opportunity for spilled pollutants to come into contact with storm water.

 The above list of significant leaks and spills, together with the other information gathered to
 identify pollutants and sources, provides the necessary focus for the  BMP Identification Phase of
 your facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.  This information is used to target pollution
 prevention activities such as preventive maintenance, good housekeeping, spill prevention and
 response procedures, employee training, and storm water management controls such as covering,
 flow diversion, erosion control and treatment that ultimately will reduce pollutant loadings in storm
 water discharges.

for process wastewater or 2E for nonprocess wastewater) to your permitting authority. Such
interconnections must be disconnected or covered by an NPDES permit.

To check for non-storm water discharges, you may elect to use one of four common dry weather
tests described below and in more detail in Appendix F:  (1) visual inspection; (2) plant schematic
review; and (3) dye testing.


Visual Inspection

The easiest method for detecting non-storm water connections into the storm water collection
system is simply to observe all discharge points during dry weather.  Inspect each discharge point
on three separate occasions. As a rule, the discharge point should be dry during a period of
extended dry weather since a storm water collection system should only collect storm water.  Keep
!n mind, however, that drainage of a particular rain event can continue for three days or more after
the rain has stopped. In addition, infiltration of ground water into the underground collection
system is also common. To be sure about the source of any flow during dry weather, you may
need to perform one of the additional tests described below.


Sewer Map

A review of a plant schematic is  another simple way to determine if there are any interconnections
into the onsite storm water collection system. A sewer map or plant schematic is a map of pipes
and drainage systems used to carry  process wastewater, non-contact cooling water, air conditioner
condensate, and sanitary wastes (bathrooms, sinks,  etc.). A  common problem, however, is that
sites often  do not have accurate, up-to-date schematics. If you do have an accurate and reliable
plant schematic, you can simply  examine the pathways of the different water circuits listed above.
Be sure also to investigate where the floor drains discharge.  These are commonly connected to the
storm sewer system, especially in older buildings.


Dye Testing

Another method for detecting improper connections to the storm water collection system is dye
testing.  A  dye test can  be performed by simply releasing a dye into either your sanitary or process
wastewater system and examining the discharge points from the storm water collection system for
discoloration.  A detailed description of the equipment needed and proper procedures for a dye test
is included  in Appendix F.


Non-Storm Water Discharges

As noted above, unless covered by an NPDES permit, non-storm water discharges are illegal.
Generally, non-storm water discharges are issued individual NPDES permits  based on application
Form 2C (for process wastewater) or Form 2E (for nonprocess wastewater). However, EPA's
General Permit authorizes the following types of non-storm water discharges:

    • Discharges from fire  fighting activities

    • Rre hydrant flushings

   • Potable water sources including waterline flushings

   • Irrigation drainage

September  1992                             2-17

   • Lawn watering

   • Uncontaminated ground water

   • Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials

   • Routine exterior building washdown which does not use detergents or other compounds

   • Pavement wash waters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not
     occurred and where detergents are not used

   • Air conditioning condensate.

Be sure to examine your facility's storm water permit to determine whether it authorizes any of
these or other non-storm water discharges.  If your permit does not authorize non-storm water
discharges occurring at your facility, you should contact your permitting authority or the Storm
Water Hotline for more information about how to  address these discharges.

Storm water sampling data provide information that describes the quality of storm water
discharges. These data are valuable because they indicate the potential environmental risk of the
discharge by identifying the types and amounts of pollutants present.  In addition, these data can
be used to identify potential sources of storm water pollution.

During the site assessment phase, permittees should collect and summarize any storm water
sampling data that were collected in the past. Historical storm water monitoring data may be very
useful in locating areas which have previously contributed pollutants to storm water discharges and
identifying what the problem pollutants are. Jn your summary of these data, describe the sample
collection procedures used. Be sure to cross-reference the particular storm water outfall sampled

Although some permittees may not have to conduct storm water sampling under, the permit  that is
issued to that facility, incorporation of these data into the'Storm  Water Pollution Prevention  Plan as
it is collected will provide a basis for evaluating the  effectiveness of the plan. Under EPA's General
Permit, certain classes of facilities are required to conduct storm  water sampling either annually or
semiannually throughout the term of the permit.  Appendix J contains a table summarizing these
sampling requirements, including the parameters for which analysis is required and the sampling
frequency.  State-issued storm water general permits may include similar provisions.  Generally,
where sampling is required, facilities must collect and analyze grab and composite samples in
accordance with the protocol established in 40 CFR Part 136.  EPA has published a guidance
manual addressing storm water sampling requirements and procedures for NPDES storm water
discharge permit applications. Although directed toward application requirements, the guidance
manual contains information that would be of assistance to facilities required to sample under a
storm water general permit. To obtain a copy of the manual, call the Storm Water Hotline at
(703) 821-4823.

                  Risk Identification and Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources

                                        Part fV.D.2.e.

  Include in your plan a narrative description of the potential pollutant sources and identify any
  pollutant of concern that may be generated by the following activities at your facility:

     » Loading and unloading operations                       -                     .  '

     • Outdoor storage activities                                                     ,  ..
                                        ..                                   ""         i
     • Outdoor manufacturing or processing activities

     • Significant dust or paniculate generating activities

     • Onsite waste disposal practices.
Once you have completed the above steps in your pollutant source assessment, you should have
enough information to determine which areas, activities or materials may contribute pollutants to
storm water runoff from your site.  With this information, you can select the most appropriate
BMPs to  prevent or control pollutants from these areas.

The following paragraph is an example of how you can analyze .the information you have gathered
and start to figure  out what you can do to  correct these problems:

       In a particular drainage area, you have a vehicle maintenance facility area where oil
       filters are stored outdoors. You found that no material management practices were
       currently being used to protect the used filters from contact with storm water.  You   .
       would then  suspect that the storm water draining from that area would most likely
       contain a significant amount of off and grease.  Therefore, you have concluded that
       you need to do something to reduce the possibility of oil and grease mixing with
       storm water.              .                         .

EPA's General  Permit requires this type of narrative description summarizing any potential source of
storm water pollutants, and what types of  pollutants have already been or may be found in storm
water runoff from the  site.

Worksheet #7  (located at the end of Chapter 2) will help you  organize the pollutant sources that
you identified during the site assessment phase, relate them to management practices that you
already have in place,  and list potential new BMP options to address remaining pollutant sources.

   Once you have identified and assessed potential
   and  existing sources of contamination to storm
   water at your facility, the next step is to select
   the proper measures or BMPs that will eliminate or
   reduce   pollutant  loadings  in  storm   water
   discharges from your facility she.  Specifically,
   your plan design will include the following BMPs:

      • Good housekeeping

      • Preventive maintenance

      • Visual inspections -

      • Spill  prevention and response

      • Sediment and erosion control
                                       \
      • Management of runoff

      • Employee training

      • Recordkeeping and reporting

      • Other BMPs as appropriate
BMPs are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution from any type of activity. BMPs are a
very broad class of measures and may include processes, procedures, schedules of activities,
prohibitions on practices, and other management practices to prevent or reduce water pollution.  In
essence, they are anything a plant manager, department foreman, environmental specialist,
consultant or employee may identify as a method, short of actual treatment, to curb water
pollution. They may be inexpensive or costly. BMPs can be just about anything that "does the
job" of preventing  toxic or hazardous substances from entering the environment.

The purpose of this section is to describe the "baseline" BMPs that you must include in your
facility's storm water pollution prevention program and offer some guidelines about how to select
more "advanced" BMPs that are tailored to the specific pollutant sources on your  particular site.
With this information, you should be able to design a storm  water management program that best
addresses any problems with runoff from your facility's site.

 "Baseline" BMPs are practices that are inexpensive, relatively simple, and applicable to a wide '
 variety of industries and activities. Most industrial facilities already have these measures in place
 for product loss prevention, accident and fire prevention, worker health and safety, or to comply
 with other environmental regulations.  The purpose of this section is to highlight how these
 common practices can be improved and tailored to prevent storm water pollution.  EPA's Storm
 Water Program is emphasizing these generic measures because they can be effective, are cost-
 effective, and because they emphasize prevention over treatment.

 Industrial facilities must implement, at a minimum, the above-listed eight baseline BMPs, where
 appropriate.  How each of these BMPs can prevent storm water pollution is described in detail
 below.

.Worksheet #7a (located at the end of Chapter 2) is designed to help you list the specific activities
 or practices that you select to include in your plan for each of the baseline BMPs.

Good housekeeping
water discharges In
Good Housekeeping

, EPA GENERAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
""--''^ >, 'Good" Housekeeping
requires the ma ntenance of areas which may contribute pollutants to storm
a clean, orderly manner, ' ,/ "' " ' r
Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work environment.
Often the most effective first step towards preventing pollution in storm water from industrial  sites
simply involves using good common sense to improve the facility's basic housekeeping methods.
Poor housekeeping can result in more waste being generated than necessary and an increased
potential for storm water contamination. A clean .and orderly work area reduces the possibility of
accidental spills caused by mishandling of chemicals and equipment and should reduce safety
hazards to plant personnel. Well maintained material and chemical storage areas will reduce the
possibility of storm water mixing with  pollutants.

There are some simple procedures a facility can use to promote good housekeeping, including
improved operation and maintenance of industrial machinery and processes, material storage
practices, material inventory controls,  routine and regular clean-up schedules, maintaining well
organized work areas, and educational programs for employees about all of these practices. The
following sections describe these good housekeeping procedures and provide a checklist that you
can use to evaluate and improve your facility's storm water pollution prevention program.


Operation and Maintenance
These practices ensure that processes and equipment are working well.  Improved operation and
maintenance practices are easy to implement.  Here are a few examples of basic operation and
maintenance BMPs that should be incorporated in your good housekeeping program:

   •  Maintain dry and clean floors and ground surfaces by using brooms, shovels, vacuum
      cleaners, or cleaning machines

   •  Regularly pickup and dispose of garbage and waste material

   •  Make sure equipment is working properly (see Section 2.3.4 on preventive maintenance)

   •  Routinely inspect for leaks or conditions that could lead to discharges of chemicals or contact
      of storm* water with raw materials, intermediate materials, waste materials, or products  (see
      Visual Inspection BMP below)

   •  Ensure that spill cleanup procedures  are understood by employees (see Spill Prevention and
      Response BMP below).


Material Storage Practices
Improper storage  can result in the release of materials and chemicals that can cause storm water
runoff pollution. Proper storage techniques include:
September 1992                            2-23

-------
 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
    • Providing adequate aisle space to facilitate material transfer and easy access for inspections

    • Storing containers, drums, and bags away from direct traffic routes to prevent accidental
      spills (see Spill Prevention and Response BMP below)

    • Stacking containers according to manufacturers'instructions to avoid damaging the
      containers from improper weight distribution

    • Storing containers on pallets or similar devices to prevent corrosion of the containers which
      can result when containers come  in contact with moisture on the ground

    • Assigning the responsibility of hazardous material inventory to a limited number of people
      who are trained to handle  hazardous materials.


Material Inventory Procedures

Keeping an up-to-date inventory of all materials (hazardous and non-hazardous) present on your site
will help to keep material costs down caused by overstocking, track how materials are stored and
handled onsite, and identify whjch materials and activities  pose the most risk to the environment.
The following instructions explain the basic steps to completing a material inventory. Worksheets
#3 and 3A provide an example of the types of information you should collect while conducting the
inventory.                                                   ,

    •  Identify all chemical substances present in the workplace.  Walk through the facility and
      review the purchase orders for the previous year.  List all of the chemical substances used in
      the workplace, and then obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each.

    •  Label all containers to show the name and type of substance, stock number, expiration date,
      health hazards, suggestions for handling, and first aid information. This information can
      usually be found on the MSDS.  Unlabeled chemicals and chemicals with deteriorated labels
      are often disposed of unnecessarily or improperly.

    •  Clearly mark on the inventory hazardous materials that require special handling, storage, use,
      and disposal considerations.                                                        .

Improved material tracking and inventory practices, such as instituting a shelf-life program, can
reduce the waste that results from overstocking and the disposal of out-dated materials. Careful
tracking of all materials  ordered may also result in more efficient materials use.

Decisions on the amount of hazardous materials the facility stores should include an evaluation of
your emergency control systems. Ensure that storage areas  are designed to contain spills.


Employee Participation

Frequent and proper training of employees in good housekeeping techniques reduces the possibility
that the chemicals or equipment will be mishandled.  Motivating employees to reduce waste
generation  is another important pollution prevention technique. Section 2.4.2 provides  more
information on employee training programs.  Here are some suggestions for involving employees in
good housekeeping practices:

     » Proper maintenance of facility equipment and systems.
Most plants already have preventive maintenance programs that provide some degree of,
environmental protection. The program you undertake as part of the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan should not just duplicate previous efforts, but should expand the current preventive
maintenance programs to include storm water considerations, especially the upkeep and
maintenance of storm water management devices.  The pollution prevention team should evaluate
the existing plant preventive maintenance program and recommend any necessary changes.

Preventive maintenance involves the regular inspection and testing of plant equipment and
operational systems (see Visual Inspections description below). These  inspections should uncover
conditions such as cracks or slow leaks which could cause breakdowns or failures that result in
discharges of chemicals to storm sewers and surface waters. The program should prevent
breakdowns and failures by  adjustment, repair or replacement of equipment. An effective
preventive maintenance program should therefore include the following elements:

   • Identification of equipment, systems, and facility areas that should be inspected

   • Schedule for periodic inspections or tests of these equipment and systems

   • Appropriate and timely adjustment, repair or replacement of equipment and systems

   • Maintenance of complete records on inspections, equipment, and systems.


identification of Equipment to  Inspect

The first step is to identify which systems or equipment may malfunction and cause spills, leaks, or
other situations that could lead to storm water runoff contamination. Look back at what sources
of potential storm water contamination were identified during the pollutant source assessment
phase.  The following list identifies some types of equipment to include in your preventive
maintenance inspection and testing program:

Schedule Routine Preventive Maintenance Inspections
Once you have identified which equipment and areas to inspect at your facility, set schedules for
routine inspections. Include examination for leaks, corrosion, support or foundation failure, or other
forms of deterioration or leaks in your inspection. Look for spots or puddles of chemicals and
document any detection of smoke, fumes, or other signs of leaks. Periodic testing of plant
equipment for structural soundness is a key element of preventive maintenance.  This can be done
by making sure storage tanks are solid and strong enough to hold materials. Another important
consideration is when and how often preventive maintenance inspections should be conducted to
ensure that this practice is effective.  Smaller facilities with little equipment and few systems may
still find it necessary to conduct frequent inspections  if the equipment is older and more susceptible
to leaks or other discharges.  Preventive maintenance inspections may be conducted as part of
your regular visual inspections.


Equipment Repair or Replacement
Promptly repair or replace defective equipment'found  during inspections and testings.  Keeping
spare parts for equipment that needs frequent repair is another simple practice that can help avoid
problems and equipment down-time.


Records on Preventive Maintenance
Include a suitable records system for scheduling tests and documenting inspections in the
preventive maintenance program. Record test results and follow up with corrective action.  Make
sure records are  complete and detailed.  These records should be kept with other visual inspection
records.


EPCRA, Section  313 Facility Preventive Maintenance  Inspection Requirements

EPA's General Permit  contains additional preventive maintenance inspection requirements for
facilities subject to reporting under EPCRA, Section 313 for water priority chemicals
[Part IV.D.7.b.(7).]. For these facilities, all areas of the facility must be inspected for the following
at appropriate intervals as specified in the plan:

      handling equipment, and material bulk storage areas for leaks, wind blowing, corrosion,
      support or foundation failure, or other deterioration or noncontainment.

These inspections must occur at intervals based on facility design and operational experience,  and
the timing must be specified in the plan.

When a leak or other threatening condition is found, corrective action must be taken immediately or
the facility unit or process must be shut down until the problem is repaired.

Preventing pollution of storm water runoff from your facility requires good housekeeping in areas
where materials are handled, stored, or transferred and preventive maintenance of process
equipment and systems. Such practices are described in detail above and should be outlined in
your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Regular visual inspections are your means to ensure
that all of the elements of the plan are in place and working properly.
         i                                  .
Routine visual inspections are not meant to be a comprehensive evaluation of the entire storm
water pollution prevention program—that is the function of the Annual Site  Inspection and Site
Evaluation described in Section 2.5.1 below.  Rather, they are meant to be a routine look-over of
the facility to identify conditions which may give rise to contamination of storm water runoff with
pollutants from your facility.

Every facility is different,, so it is up to the facility owner/operator to determine what areas of your
facility could potentially contribute pollutants to storm water runoff, and to  devise and implement a
visual inspection program  based  on this information.  The visual inspection is simply a way to
confirm that the measures chosen are in place and working and should periodically take place
during storm events.  The frequency of visual inspection should be determined by the types and
amounts of materials handled at the facility, existing BMPs at the facility, and any other factors
that may be relevant, such as the age of the facility (in general, older facilities should be inspected
at more frequent intervals than new facilities). The following lists identify some types of
equipment and plant areas to include in your Visual Inspections and preventive maintenance plan:

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Implementation of a Visual Inspection Plan

The best plan is a simple one, and this includes the visual inspection plan - there is no reason for it
to be highly technical, complicated or labor-intensive.  If your facility already has a routine
surveillance program in place, consider expanding it to include the visual inspection element of your
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. For example, if your facility has a security surveillance
program, you might consider training facility security personnel to perform the visual inspection
program.  If your  facility has no routine surveillance or inspection program already in place, then a
plan must be developed and people must be assigned the responsibility for carrying the inspections
out. It is important to remember that the employees carrying out the visual inspection program
should be properly trained, familiar with the storm water pollution prevention program, and
knowledgeable about proper recordkeeping and reporting procedures.


Records of Inspections                                                 .

The most important thing for you to remember here is to document all inspections.  Inspection
records should note when inspections were done, who conducted the inspection, what areas were
inspected, what problems were found, and steps taken to correct any problems, including who has
been notified. Many industrial facilities will already have some sort of incident reporting procedure
in place — existing incident reporting and security surveillance procedures could easily be
incorporated into the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.  These records should be kept with
the plan. EPA's General Permit requires that records .be kept until at least one year after  coverage
under the permit expires.

 Spills and leaks together are one of the largest industrial sources of storm water pollutants, and in
 most cases are avoidable.  Establishing standard operating procedures such as safety and spill
 prevention procedures along with proper employee training can reduce these accidental releases.
 Avoiding spills and leaks is preferable to cleaning them up after they occur, not only from an
 environmental standpoint, but also because spills cause increased operating costs and lower
 productivity.

 Development of spill prevention and response procedures is a very important element of an
 effective Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. A spill prevention and response plan may have
 already been developed in response to other environmental regulatory requirements.  If your facility
 already has a spill prevention and response plan, it should be evaluated and revised if necessary to
 address the objectives of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

 The next section outlines the steps you should take to identify and characterize potential spills, to
 eliminate or reduce spill potential, and how to respond when spills occur.


 Identify Potential Spill Areas

 As part of the Assessment Phase of developing the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, you
 should have created a list or inventory of materials handled, used, and disposed of. A site map
 indicating the drainage area of each storm water outfall  was also created.  Now overlay the
 drainage area map with the locations of areas and activities with high material spill potential to
 determine where spills will most likely  occur.  Spill potential also depends on how materials are
 handled, the types and volumes of materials handled,  and how materials are stored on your site.
 You must describe these factors in your plan.

The activities and areas where spills are likely to occur on your site are listed and described below:

    • Loading and unloading areas

    • Storage areas

    • Process activities
September 1992
2-31

-------
 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
    • Dust or paniculate generating processes

    • Waste disposal activities.

 Loading and unloading areas have a high spill potential because the nature of the activity involves
 transfer of materials from one container to another.  The spill potential is affected by the integrity
 of the container, the form of the chemical being transferred, the design of the transfer area
 (bermed vs. direct connection to the storm water collection system), the proximity of this area to
 the storage area, and procedures for loading and unloading. .Evaluate the spill potential from all
 loading and unloading equipment,  such as barges,  railroad cars, tank trucks, and front end loaders,
 as well as storage and vehicle wash areas.

 Storage areas, both indoor and outdoor, are potential spill areas.  Outdoor storage areas are
 exposed to storm water runoff and may provide direct contact between potential pollutants and
 storm water.  Indoor storage areas may contaminate storm water if the drains in the storage area
 are connected to the storm sewer or if improper clean up procedures in the event of a spill are
 used.  This evaluation should consider the type, age, and condition of storage containers and
 structures (including tanks, drums, bags, bottles).  An evaluation of the spill potential  of storage
 areas should also focus on how employees handle materials.

 All process areas are potential sources of storm water contamination if the floor drains in these
 areas are  connected to storm sewers (see Section  2.2.4). If these drains cannot be sealed, the
 process area should be evaluated for the adequacy of spill control structures such as secondary
 containment, if necessary. One should also consider normal housekeeping procedures.  Some
 process areas are hosed down periodically and the resulting wash water contains pollutants.
 Outdoor process activities may contaminate storm water if spills are diverted to the storm sewer.

 Also, evaluate spill potential from the following stationary facilities:

   • Manufacturing areas

   • Warehouses                                                                       ,

   • Chemical processing and or blending areas

   • Temporary and  permanent storage sites

   • Power generating facilities

   • Food processing areas                                I          -

   • Tank farms
                                                 '        '                    •             '-
   • Service stations

   • Parking lots

   • Access roads.

Also evaluate the possibility of storm water contamination from underground sources, such as
tanks and pipes. Leaking underground storage tanks are often a source of storm water
contamination.

In addition to identifying these and other potential spill areas, projecting possible spill volume and
type of material is  critical to developing the correct response procedures for a particular area.

Specify Material Handling Procedures and Storage Requirements
Through the process of developing various spill scenarios, ideas for eliminating or minimizing the
spill or its impact will emerge. These solutions should be prioritized and adopted according to
conditions of effectiveness, cost, feasibility, and ease of implementation. Following is a list of
some suggested activities or alterations that may be made to reduce the potential that spills will
occur or impact storm water quality:

    •  Develop ways to recycle, reclaim and/or reuse process materials to reduce the volume
      brought into the facility

    •  Install leak detection devices, overflow controls, and diversion berms

    •  Disconnect drains from processing  areas that  lead to the storm sewer (however, be sure that
      any such action would not create a health hazard within your facility) -

    •  Adopt effective housekeeping practices

    •  Adopt a materials flow/plant layout plan (i.e.,  do not store bags that are easily punctured
      near high-traffic areas where they may be hit  by moving equipment or personnel)

    •  Perform regular visual inspections to identify signs of wear on tanks, drums, containers,
      storage shelves, and berms and to  identify sloppy housekeeping or other clues that could lead
      to potential spills

    *  Perform preventive maintenance on storage tanks, valves, pumps, pipes, and other
      equipment

    •  Use filling procedures for tanks and other equipment that minimize spills

    •  Use material transfer procedures that reduce the chance of leaks or spills

    •  Substitute less or non-toxic materials for toxic materials

    •  Ensure appropriate security.


Identify Spill Response Procedures and Equipment
In the event that spill prevention measures fail, a swiftly executed response may prevent
contamination of storm water.  Spill response plans are required by  numerous programs for various
reasons. However, this may be the first  time that a spill response plan specifically addresses
protection of storm water quality.

Past experience has shown that the single most important obstacle to an effective spill response
plan is its implementation.  Develop the plan  with its ease of implementation in rnind.  The spill
response procedures should be clear, concise, step-by-step instructions for responding to the spill
events at a particular facility.  Organize the plan to facilitate rapid identification of the appropriate
set of procedures.  For example, you may find that the plan works best for your facility  when
organized by spill location. Another possible method of organization is by spilled material.  The key
component to implementation  is the ability of employees to use the  plan quickly and effectively.
The specific approach you take will depend on the specific conditions at your facility such as size,
number of employees and the  spill potential of the site.

The spill response plan is developed  based on the spill potential scenarios identified.  It reflects a
consideration of the potential magnitude  and frequency of spills, of the types of materials spilled,

September 1992                             2-33

 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
and of the variety of potential spill locations. Specific procedures may be needed to correspond to
particular chemicals onsite.  At all times during the operation of a facility, personnel with
appropriate training and authority should be available to respond to spills.

The spill response plan should describe:

    •  Identification of spill response "team" responsible for implementing the spill response plan.

    •  Safety measures.

    •  Procedures to notify appropriate authorities providing assistance [police, fire, hospital,
      Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), etc.].

    •  Spill containment, diversion, isolation, cleanup.

    *  Spill response equipment including:

      -  Safety equipment such as respirators, eye guards, protective clothing, fire extinguisher,
        and two-way radios.

      -  Cleanup equipment such as booms, barriers, sweeps, adsorbents, containers, etc.

Following any spills, evaluate how the prevention plan was successful or unsuccessful in
responding and how it can be improved.


EPCRA, Section 313, Facility Spill Prevention and Response Requirements

EPA's General Permit sets forth more specific requirements for facilities subject to reporting under
EPCRA, Section 313 for water priority chemicals [Part IV.D.7.b.(7).]. When a leak or spill of a
Section 313 water priority chemical has occurred, the contaminated soil, material, or debris must
be removed promptly and disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements
and as described in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

These facilities are also required to designate a person responsible for spill prevention,  response,
and reporting procedures (see Section 2.1.1, Pollution Prevention Team).

There may be certain areas on your site which, due to construction activities/ steep slopes, sandy
soils, or other reasons, are prone to soil erosion.  Construction activities typically remove grass and
other protective ground covers resulting in the exposure of underlying soil to wind and rain.
Similarly, steep slopes or sandy soils may not be able to hold plant life so that soils are exposed.
Because the soil surface is unprotected, dirt and sand particles are easily picked up  by wind and/or
washed away by rain.  This process is called erosion.  Erosion can be controlled or prevented with
the use of certain BMPs. A number of these measures are described in Chapter 4.

Many BMPs discussed in this chapter are measures to reduce pollutants at the source before they
have an opportunity to contaminate storm water runoff. Traditional storm water management
practices also can be used to direct storm water away from areas of exposed materials or potential
pollutants. Further, traditional storm water management practices can be used to direct storm
water that contains pollutants to natural or other types of treatment locations.  For example, using
an oil/water separator on storm water that has oil and grease in it will take out some of the oil and
grease before the storm water leaves the site.  Permits will generally not require specific storm
Water management practices since these practices must be selected on a case-by-case basis
depending on the activities at your site and the amount of space  you have available.
September 1992                            2-35

-------
 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
 Chapter 4 provides descriptions of several traditional storm water management practices.
 Additional sources of information are listed in Appendix A.


 2.3.2 Advanced Best Management Practices

 In addition to those BMPs that should be routinely incorporated into your storm water prevention
 pollution plan, you may need to implement some "advanced" BMPs that are specifically directed to
 address particular pollutant sources or activities on your site. As discussed in  Chapters 3 and 4,
 these BMPs must be tailored to address specific problems.      '

 In determining which  BMPs represent the Best Available Technology Economically Achievable
 {BAT), the following factors are considered:  (1) the age of equipment and facilities involved; (2)
 the. process employed; (3) the engineering aspects of the application of various types of control
 techniques; (4) process changes;  (5) the cost of achieving effluent reduction; and (6) non-water
 quality environmental impact (including energy requirements).


 BMP Cost and Effectiveness

 The costs of implementing the BMPs described in this manual vary depending upon many factors
 and site-specific conditions.. In general,  the required baseline BMPs are relatively low in cost when
 compared with more traditional storm  water treatment or highly engineered controls. Costs also
 vary depending upon the size of the facility, the number of employees, the types of chemicals  or
 raw materials stored or used, and the nature of plant operations. However, because many of the
 baseline practices are widely accepted and considered "common sense" or standard good operating
 practices, many facilities have them in place.

 Because BMP effectiveness is also site-specific, this manual does hot attempt to provide specific
 guidance on this matter.


 Reduce. Reuse, Recycle

 As  described in Chapter 1, EPA encourages industrial facilities to choose practices that prevent the
 contamination of storm water rather than treat it once it is polluted. Use of the Storm Water
 Management, Hierarchy (see Table 2.1) as a tool to help select BMPs for your program will help you
 discover how to prevent pollution and avoid its associated costs and liabilities while meeting the
 environmental goals of EPA's Storm Water Program.

 When selecting a BMP for your storm water management program, EPA recommends that you
 choose practices that  eliminate or reduce the amount of pollutants generated on your site.  This
 practice is referred to  as "source reduction." When it is impossible, select options that recycle or
 reuse the storm water in your industrial processes, or those that reduce the heed to store and
 expose more hazardous materials to storm water by recycling or recovering used materials.
Treating storm water to remove pollutants before they leave the site is the next best option,
although this often just transfers the problem from one place or medium to another.  Table 2.1,
below, provides examples of BMPs that are representative of the different types of storm water
management.

2.3.3 Completing the BMP Identification Phase

When you started designing your pollution prevention plan, you assembled certain crucial pieces of
information:

   • A list of actual and potential storm water discharge problems

   • The location of each outfall on a site map showing the drainage route from your property

   • A list of the management plans and practices that are already in place at your facility

   • Information contained in this manual on "baseline" BMPs and "advanced" BMPs for resolving
     storm water problems.'

At the completion of the BMP identification phase, you should have accomplished the following:

   • Reviewed your current management plans and practices to assess their effectiveness in
     addressing storm water discharges on your site.

   • Scheduled the implementation of "baseline" BMPs and whatever "advanced" BMPs were
     necessary to effectively  eliminate storm water pollution problems at your site.

   • Determined what to do about any identified, unpermitted connections of non-storm water
     discharges to separate storm sewers.  Your options were to:

     - Discontinue any connections of non-storm water discharges to a separate storm sewer
       system

     - Obtain an NPDES permit for the non-storm water discharge.

Implementing your plan will involve several steps:

    •  Develop a schedule for implementation. For example, your schedule might include a deadline
      for putting improved housekeeping measures into practice. Should implementation involve
      certain types of modifications to your site (e.g., any construction), you will need to account
      for the time required to secure any necessary local or State permits.

    •  Assign specific individuals with responsibility for implementing aspects of the plan and/or
      monitoring implementation.

    •  Ensure that management approves of your implementation schedule and strategy and
      schedule regular times for reporting progress to management.

 The pollution prevention plan must specify how often training is conducted.
Employee training is essential to effective implementation of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan. The purpose of a training program is to teach personnel at all levels of responsibility the
components and goals of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. When properly trained,
personnel are more  capable of preventing spills, responding safely-and effectively to an accident
when one occurs, and recognizing situations that could lead to storm water contamination.

The following sections include ideas about how to create an effective storm water pollution
prevention training program for your facility.

Worksheet #9 (located at the end of Chapter 2) is designed to help you organize your employee
training program.


Spill Prevention and Response                                          •

Spill prevention and response procedures are described in detail in Section 2.3.1.  Discuss these
procedures or plans in the training program  in order to ensure all plant employees, not just those on
the spill response teams, are aware of what, to do if a spill occurs.  Specifically, all employees
involved in the industrial activities of your facility should be trained  about the following measures:

   •  Identifying potential spill areas and drainage routes, including  information on past spills and
      causes

   •  Reporting spills  to appropriate individuals, without penalty (e.g., employees should be
      provided "amnesty" when they report such instances)

   • .Specifying material handling procedures and storage  requirements

   •  Implementing  spill response procedures.

Onsite contractors and temporary personnel should also be informed of the plant operations and
design features in order to help prevent accidental discharges or spills from occurring.

Good Housekeeping

Also, teach facility personnel how to maintain a clean and orderly work environment.  Section
2.3.1 above outlines the steps for practicing good housekeeping.  Emphasize these points in the
good housekeeping portion of your training program:

   •  Require regular vacuuming and/or sweeping

   •  Promptly clean up spilled materials to prevent polluted runoff

   •  Identify places where brooms, vacuums, sorbents, foams, neutralizing agents, and other good
      housekeeping and spill response equipment are located

   •  Display signs reminding employees of the importance and procedures of good housekeeping

   •  Discuss updated procedures and report on the progress of practicing good housekeeping at
      every meeting

   •  Provide instruction on securing drums and containers and frequently checking for leaks and
      spills

   *  Outline a regular schedule for housekeeping activities to allow you to determine that the job
      is being done.


Materials Management Practices

   •  Neatly organize materials for storage

   •  Identify all toxic and hazardous  substances stored, handled, and produced onsite

   •  Discuss handling procedures for these materials.


Tools For a Successful Training Program

Here are some suggestions of training tools that you can include in your facility's training program:

   •  Employee handbooks

   •  Rims and slide presentations

   •  Drills

   *  Routine employee meetings

   •  Bulletin boards

   •  Suggestion boxes

   •  Newsletters

   •  Environmental excellence awards or other employee incentive programs.

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Providing employees with incentives, such as awards for practicing pollution prevention, is a good
way to motivate personnel in working to achieve the goals of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan.
How Often to Conduct Training

You should examine your plan to determine how often you should train the employees at your
facility.  Frequency should take into account the complexity of your management practices and the
nature of your staff, including staff turnover and changes in job assignments. Facilities are required
to specify a schedule for periodic training activities in their plan.  In any case, you should regularly
evaluate the effectiveness of your training efforts. In many  cases, this will simply involve  speaking
with your employees to verify that information has been communicated effectively.


EPCRA, Section 313 Facility Requirements

EPA's General Permit contains additional training requirements for employees and contractor
personnel that work in areas where EPCRA, Section 313 water priority chemicals are used or
stored  [Part IV.D.7.b.{9).3.  These individuals must be trained in the following areas at least once
per year:

    • Preventive measures, including spill prevention and response and preventive maintenance

    • Pollution control laws and regulations

    • The facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan

    • Features and operations of the facility which are designed to minimize discharges of Section
     313 water priority chemicals, particularly spill prevention procedures.

Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Annual site compliance evaluations are comprehensive inspections performed by individuals
specifically designated in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as having responsibility for
conducting such inspections. These employees should be familiar with all facility industrial
operations and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan goals and requirements.  Furthermore,
inspectors should be able to make necessary management decisions or have direct access to
management.
                                                        .                             !f
This annual evaluation provides a basis for evaluating the overall effectiveness of your Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan.  In particular, the annual site compliance evaluation will allow you to
verify that the description of potential pollutant sources contained in the plan is accurate, that the
plan drainage map is accurate or has been updated to reflect current conditions, and that controls
identified in the plan to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges are accurately identified, in
place and working. The annual site compliance evaluation will also identify where new controls are
needed so that you may implement them and incorporate them into the plan.

The scope of the annual site compliance evaluation will depend on various factors, including the
scope of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and the size and nature of the activities
occurring at the facility. The process for conducting the evaluation should follow these steps:

   •  Review the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and draw up a list of those items which
      are part of material handling, storage, and transfer areas covered by the plan

   «  List all equipment and containment in these areas covered in the plan

   •  Review facility operations for the past year to determine if any more areas should be  included
      in the original plan, or if any existing areas were modified so as to require plan modification;
      change plan as appropriate

   •  Conduct inspection to determine (1) if all storm water pollution prevention measures are
      accurately identified in the plan, and (2) are in place and working properly

   •  Document findings

   •  Modify Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as appropriate.

As each facility and Storm Water Pollution Prevention  Plan is unique,  so the exact inspection
format will vary from facility to facility.  All documentation regarding conditions necessitating
modification to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan should be kept on file as part of the plan
until one year after coverage under the permit expires.                ,

-------
                                               Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
 Keeping records of and reporting events that occur onsite is an effective way of tracking the
 progress of pollution prevention efforts and waste minimization. Analyzing records of past spills,
 for example, can provide useful information for developing improved BMPs to prevent future spills
 of the same kind. Recordkeeping and internal  reporting represent good operating practices because
 they can increase the efficiency of the facility  and effectiveness of BMPs.


 Recordkeeping and Reporting Procedures for Spills, Leaks, and Other Discharges

 A recordkeeping system set up for documenting spills, leaks, and other discharges, including
 discharges of hazardous substances in reportable quantities (for a discussion of reportable
 quantities, see Section 2.2.3 and Appendix H), could help your facility minimize  incident
 recurrence, correctly respond with appropriate cleanup activities, and comply with legal
 requirements. The system for recordkeeping and reporting could also include any other information
 that would enhance the effectiveness of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.  You should
 make a point of keeping track of reported incidents and following up on results of inspections and
 reported spills, leaks, or other discharges.

 Records should include the following, as appropriate:

    • The date and time of the  incident, weather conditions, duration, cause, environmental
      problems, response procedures, parties notified, recommended revisions of the BMP program,
      operating procedures, and/or equipment  needed to prevent recurrence.

    • Formal written reports. These are helpful in reviewing and evaluating the discharges and
      making revisions to improve the BMP program. Document all reports you call in to the
      National Response Center in the event of a reportable quantity discharge.  For more
      information on reporting spills or other discharges, refer to Section 2.2.3 and 40 CFR 117.3
      and 40 CFR 302.4.

    • A list of the procedures for notifying the appropriate plant personnel and the names and
      telephone numbers of responsible employees.  This enables more rapid reporting of and
      response to spills and other incidents.


 Recordkeeping and Reporting Procedures for Inspections and Maintenance Activities

 Maintaining records for all inspections is an important element of any Storm Water Pollution
 Prevention Plan.  Documenting all inspections,  whether routine or detailed, is a good preventive
 maintenance technique, because analysis of inspection records allows for early detection of any
 potential problems. Recordkeeping also helps to devise improvements in the BMP program after
 inspection records have been analyzed. Recordkeeping and reporting for maintenance activities
 should also be a part of the plan as another preventive maintenance measure.  Keeping a log of aji
 maintenance activities, such as the cleaning of oil and grit separators or catch basins, will enable
 the facility to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMP program, equipment, and operation.

 There are various simple techniques used to accurately document and report inspection results
 including the following:         .

    •  Reid notebooks

    • Timed and dated photographs

 Keeping Records Updated      .

 It is important to keep all records updated on:

    • The correct name and address of facility
                                                                                     i

    • The correct name and location of receiving waters

    • The number and location of discharge points

    • Principal products and production rates (where appropriate).


 Records Retention

 Records of spills, leaks, or other discharges, inspections, and maintenance activities must be
 retained for at least one year after coverage under the permit expires.

  You must amend your plan whenever there tea change in design, construction, operation, or
  maintenance, vfchich may impact t&e potential for pollutants to be discharged or if the Storm
  Water Pollution Prevention Plan proves to be ineffective in controlling the discharge of
  pollutants.  Facilities are not required to submit a notice to the Director each time the pollution
  prevention plan is modified unless the Director specifically requests changes to be made to the
  plan.                         '  -                                       -
For your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan to be effective, you should ensure that your plan
complies with any permit conditions that apply to your facility and that you have accurately
represented facility features and operations. Should either of these conditions not be met by the
plan, you must make the necessary changes.  Either the managers of facilities or the permitting
authority may recommend changes to the plan (see Section 2.6.4 for requirements).

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans are  developed based on site-specific features. When there
are changes in design, construction, operation, or maintenance, and that change will have a
significant effect on the potential for discharging pollutants in storm water at a facility, your Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan should be modified to reflect the changes and new conditions. For
example, if your facility  begins to use  a new chemical in its production operations, proper handling
procedures for this chemical should be incorporated into the facility plan.

You may also decide to  change the plan because it has proven to be ineffective in controlling storm
water contamination based on the results of routine visual  inspections (see Section 2.3.1) or more
comprehensive site evaluations (see Section 2.5.1).

     under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that
     qualified personnel property gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on
     my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly
     responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted fe» to the best of my

     penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and
     imprisonment for knowing violations.*                              -       ,„,;,,,„	
To ensure that your facility's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan is completely developed and
adequately implemented, your NPDES permit will generally require that an authorized facility
representative sign and certify the plan. The authorized facility representative should be someone
at or near the top of your facility's management chain, such as the president, vice president, or a
production manager who has been delegated the authority to sign and certify this type of
document. In signing the plan, the corporate officer is attesting that the information is true. rThis
signature provides a basis for an enforcement action to be taken against the person signing the
plan and related reports. The permittee should  be aware that Section 309 of the Clean Water Act
provides for significant penalties where information is false or the permittee violates, either
knowingly or negligently, its permit requirements.  In some cases, your  general permit may require
certification of the plan by a professional engineer.  Specific signatory requirements will be listed in
your NPDES permit.


EPCRA, Section 313 Facility Plan Certification Requirements

EPA's General Permit contains additional certification requirements for facilities subject to  reporting
under EPCRA, Section 313 for water priority chemicals [Part IV.D.7.b.(10).]. The plan must be
reviewed and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer and recertified every three years or as
soon as practicable after significant modifications are made to  the facility.  This certification that
the plan was prepared in accordance with good engineering practices does not relieve the  facility
owner or operator of responsibility to prepare and implement the plan, however.

 representative, or the operator of a large or medium municipal separate storm sewer system,
 requests that the plan be submitted.  Plans and all required records must be kept until at least
 one year after coverage under the permit expires.    '   /

 Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Although all plans are to be maintained onsite, some NPDES storm water permits may require that
facilities submit copies of their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans to the Director for review.
Examine your permit carefully to determine what submittal requirements apply to your facility.
Even if your permit does not require you automatically to submit your plan to your permitting
authority, you must provide copies of the plan to your permitting authority or to your municipal
operator upon request.  Plans and associated records are available to the public by request through
the permitting authority.


2.6.4  Director-Required Plan Modifications

                                      Required Changes
 Any changes required by the permitting authority shall be made within 30 days, unless
 otherwise provided by the notification, and the facility must submit a certification signed in
 accordance with Section 2,6,2 to the Director that the requested changes have been made.
Upon reviewing your plan, the permitting authority may find that it does not meet one or more of
the minimum standards established by the pollution prevention plan requirements.  In this case, the
permitting authority will notify you of changes needed to improve the plan.

For example, where a facility has not addressed spill response procedures for a toxic chemical to
the extent that the permitting authority believes is necessary, the facility will be required to revise
the procedures.  The permitting authority retains the authority to make this type of request at any
time during the effective period of the plan. In the notification, the  permitting authority will
establish a deadline for the incorporation of the required changes, unless the permit specifies a
deadline. Permittees may  or may not have to certify  that the requested changes have been
implemented depending on their specific permit conditions. You should examine your permit for
such details.

   2.7  SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

   In addition  to  the minimum  "baseline"  BMPs
   discussed in previous sections, facilities may be
   subject to additional "special" requirements.  Not
   all facilities  will have  to  include these special
   requirements in their  Storm Water  Pollution
   Prevention Plan.  Be sure to check your permit
   closely for these conditions.  In particular,  EPA's
   General Permit includes special requirements for:

      •  Facilities   that  discharge   storm   water
         through  municipal  separate  storm  sewer
         systems

      «  Facilities  subject to EPCRA, Section 313

 Permittees must comply with conditions in municipal storm water management programs
 developed under the NPDES permit issued format system to which the industrial facility
 discharges, provided that the facility was directly notified of the applicable requirements by the
 municipal operator. The facility must be in eomplianc& with these conditions by the deadlines
 specified in the pollution prevention plan listed in Section 2.6,1.     	-
The November 16, 1990, storm water discharge permit application regulations require large and
medium municipal separate storm sewer systems {systems serving a population of 100,000 or
more) to develop storm water management programs in order to control pollutants discharged
through the municipal systems. These management programs will address discharges of industrial
storm water through the systems to the extent that they are harmful to the water quality of
receiving streams. Municipalities should be aware of the facilities with storm water discharges
associated with industrial activity that discharge into their separate storm sewer system because
the November 16, 1990, final rule required these facilities to notify the municipal operator.  In
addition, facilities covered by general permits will typically be required to submit a copy of their
NO! to the municipal operator.  EPA emphasizes that it is the facility's responsibility to inform the
municipality of all storm water discharges associated with industrial activity to the separate storm
sewer system.  Facilities with such discharges that have not yet contacted the appropriate
municipal authority should do so immediately.

Although facility-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for industries are designed to
prevent pollutants from entering storm water discharges, the municipal operator may find it
necessary to impose specific requirements on a particular industrial facility or class of industrial
September 1992
2-51

-------
Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
facilities in some situations.  One way to ensure that facilities comply with these requirements is to
include a provision in the facility's NPDES storm water discharge permit that directly-requires
compliance.  This mechanism provides a basis for enforcement action to be directed, where
necessary, against the owner or operator of the facility with a storm water discharge associated
with industrial activity.


2.7.2  Special Requirements for EPCRA, Section 313 Reporting Facilities

Section 313 of EPCRA requires operators of manufacturing facilities that handle toxic chemicals in
amounts exceeding threshold levels (listed at 40 CFR 372.25) to report to the government on an
annual basis. Because these types of facilities handle large amounts of toxic chemicals, EPA
concluded that they have an increased potential to degrade the water quality of receiving streams.
To address this risk, EPA established specific control requirements in its general permit.  In
particular, these requirements apply to Section 313 facilities that report  for "water priority
chemicals" that include any of over 200 chemicals that have been identified by EPA as especially
toxic to water ecosystems.  For reference. Appendix I contains a list of Section 313 water priority
chemicals.                                                 -            "

Many of the requirements outlined below are specifically designed to address the water quality
concerns that toxic chemicals present. Incorporation of these requirements into site-specific Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plans will prevent spills and leaks of water priority chemicals and
eliminate or reduce other opportunities for exposure of toxic chemicals to storm water, thus
protecting receiving streams from toxic discharges.


Specific Requirements

The following specific control requirements must be practiced in areas where Section 313 water
priority chemicals are stored, handled, processed, or transferred:

   • Provide containment, drainage control, and/or diversionary structures:

     -  Prevent or minimize runon by installing curbing, culverting, gutters, sewers, or other
        controls, and/or

     -  Prevent or minimize exposure by covering storage piles.

   • Prevent discharges from all areas:

     -  Use manually activated valves with drainage controls in all areas, and/or

     -  Equip the plant with a drainage system  to return spilled material  to the facility.

   • Prevent discharges from liquid storage areas:

     -  Store liquid materials in compatible storage containers

     -  Provide secondary containment designed to hold the volume of the largest storage tank
        plus precipitation.                                              ,
                                            2-52                             September 1992

-------
                                              Chapter 2—Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
   •  Prevent discharges from loading/unloading areas:

      -  Use drip pans and/or

      -  Implement a strong spill contingency and integrity testing plan.

   *  Prevent discharges from handling/processing/transferring areas:

      -  Use covers, guards, overhangs, door skirts

      -  Conduct visual inspections or leak tests for ove'rhead piping.

   •  Introduce facility security programs to prevent spills:

      -  Use fencing, lighting, traffic control, and/or secure equipment and buildings.

Additional requirements are baseline BMPs that have been enhanced to address specific storm
water concerns associated with the handling of toxic chemicals. These additional requirements are
highlighted in previous sections on the pages indicated below:

 Where storm water from a salt storage pile is discharged to waters of the United States, the pile
 must be covered or enclosed to prevent exposure to precipitation, except when salt is being
 added to or taken from the pife.  Discharges shall comply with this provision as expeditiqusly as
 practicable, but in no event teler than October 1, 1995.            .  '  ; _         /
Facilities may use salt for de-icing purposes or part of their industrial processes.  Since exposed salt
piles will easily contaminate storm water runoff, an obvious BMP for these piles is to cover them
with a tarp or other covering or enclose them in a shed or building.  This requirement may not be
applicable to all Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans, however.  Where runoff from the salt pile
is not discharged to waters of the United States, then this requirement would not apply since the
pollutants will  not reach a waterbody. Since it may not be feasible to maintain cover over a salt
pile when adding to it or taking salt from it, permits will generally incorporate some flexibility, as
does EPA's General Permit.

This chapter describes specific BMPs for common industrial activities that may contaminate storm
water  Chapter 2 led you through the steps of identifying, activities at your facility that can
contaminate storm water. At this point, you should be ready to choose the BMPs that best fill your
facility's need. You should read this chapter if any of the activities listed below take place at your
facility.  BMPs for each of these activities are provided in the sections listed below:
V""'' /Activity '
Fueling
Maintaining Vehicles and Equipment
Painting Vehicles and Equipment

 Each section is presented in a question and answer format;  By answering these questions, you will
 be able to quickly identify source controls or recycling BMPs that are suitable for your facility. The
 BMPs suggested are relatively easy to use, are inexpensive, and often are effective in removing the
 source of storm water contaminants.  This is not a complete list of BMPs for every industrial
 activity; rather, it is meant to help you think about ways you can reduce storrri water
 contamination on your site. You may want to contact one of the State or Federal pollution
 prevention assistance offices listed in Appendix D for suggestions or help in choosing or using
 these and other BMP options.      ••'.-..

Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
3.1  BMPs FOR FUELING STATIONS

When storm water-mixes with fuel spilled or leaked onto the ground, it becomes polluted with
chemicals that are harmful to humans and to fish and wHdlife.  The following questions will help you
identify activities that can contaminate storm water and suggest BMPs to reduce or eliminate storm
water contamination from fueling stations.  Read this section rf your facility has outdoor fueling
operations or rf fueling occurs in areas where leaks or spills could contaminate storm water.  Also refer
to the BMPs listed in Section 4.2 on Exposure Minimization.
  Q.  Have you installed spill and overfill
      prevention equipment?	
Fuel overflows during storage tank filling are a major
source of spills.  Overflows can be prevented. Watch the
transfer constantly to prevent overfilling and spilling.
Overfill prevention equipment automatically shuts off flow,
restricts flow, or sounds an alarm when the tank is almost
full. Federal regulations require overfill prevention
equipment on all Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
installed after December 1988.  For USTs installed before
December 1988, overfill prevention equipment is required
by 1998.  State or local regulations may be stricter, so
contact your State and/or local government for details.
Consider installing overflow prevention equipment sooner
than the required deadline as part of your pollution
prevention plan.

  « Leaking storage tanks     „  ,
  Q.  Are vehicle fuel tanks often "topped off"?
 Gas pumps automatically shut off when the vehicle fuel tank is almost full to prevent spills. Trying
 to completely fill the tanks or topping off the tank often results in overfilling the tank and spilling
 fuel. Discourage topping off by training employees  and posting signs.
  Q.  Have you taken steps to protect fueling areas from rain?
 Fueling areas can be designed to minimize ^pills, leaks, and incidental losses of fuel, such as vapor
 loss, from coming into contact with rain water:

    • Build a roof over the fuel area.

    • Pave the fuel area with concrete instead of asphalt. Asphalt soaks up fuel or can be
      slowly dissolved by fuel, engine fluids, and other organic liquids.  Over time, the
      asphalt itself can become a source of storm water contamination.

                                            Chapter 3—Act/vfty-Sp&cfffc Source Control &Mfs
 Q.  Is runon to the fueling area minimized?
Runon is storm water generated from other areas that flows or "runs on" to your property or site.
Runon flowing across fueling areas can wash contaminants into storm drains.  Runon can be
minimized by:

   • Grading, berming, or curbing the area around the fuel site to direct runon away from the
     fuel area

   • Locating roof downspouts so storm water is directed away from fueling areas

   • Using valley gutters to route storm water around fueling area.
 Q. Are oil/water separators or oil and  grease traps installed in storm drains in the
     fueling area?	     • .	•
Oil/water separators and oil and grease traps are devices that reduce the amount of oil entering
storm drains.  These devices should be installed and routinely inspected, cleaned, and maintained.
 Q. Is the fueling area cleaned by hosing or washing?
Cleaning the fueling area with running water should be avoided because the wash water will pick
up fuel, oil, and grease and make it storm water.  Consider using a damp cloth on the pumps and a
damp mop on the pavement rather than a hose.  Check with your local sewer authority about any
treatment required before discharging the mop water or wash water to the sanitary sewer.
 Q.  Do you control petroleum spills?
Spills should be controlled immediately. Small spills can be
contained using sorbent material such as kitty litter, straw, or
sawdust. Do not wash petroleum spills into the storm drain or
sanitary sewer. For more information on spill control measures,
see sections on Containment Diking and Curbing in Chapter 4.
  Q.  Are employees aware of ways to reduce
      contamination of storm water at fueling
      stations?
Storm water contamination from fueling operations often occurs
from small actions such as topping off fuel tanks, dripping
engine fluids, and hosing down fuel areas.  Inform employees
about ways to eliminate or reduce storm water contamination.
                  EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT IS
                          THE KEY:
                 Getting 'employees interested in
                 reducing waste generation is the
                 key to a successful stofrr» water
                 pollution prevention plan.
                 Discuss  pollution prevention^
                 with your employees. They are
                 most familiar with the
                 operations that generate wastes
                 and may have helpful waste
                 reduction'suggestions.  Consider
                 setting up an employee reward
                 program to promote pollution'[
                 prevention.

Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
 Q. Where does the water drain from your fueling area?
In many cases, wash water and storm water in fueling areas drain directly to the storm sewer
without adequate treatment.  Some types of oil/water separators installed at these locations can
provide treatment to discharges from oil contaminated pavements, but this equipment is only
effective when properly maintained (i.e., cleaned frequently). Some States require that these
discharges be tied in to a sanitary sewer system or process wastewater treatment system. If
discharges from fueling or other high risk areas at your facility drain to a sanitary sewer system,
you should inform your local POTW.

3.2  BMPs FOR VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

Many vehicle and equipment maintenance operations use materials or create wastes that are harmful
to humans and the environment. Storm water runoff from areas where these activities  occur can
become polluted by a variety of contaminants such as solvents and degreaskig products, waste
automotive fluids, oils and greases, acids, and caustic wastes. These and other harmful substances
in storm water can enter water bodies through storm drains or through small streams where they can
harm fish and wildlife.                       .

The following questions will help you find sources of storm water contamination from vehicle and
equipment maintenance operations on  your site and to help you choose BMPs that can reduce or
eliminate these sources.
  Q.  Are parts cleaned at your facility?
Parts are often cleaned using solvents such as
trichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichlqroethane or
methylene chloride.  Many of these cleaners are
harmful and must be disposed of as a hazardous
waste.  Cleaning without using liquid cleaners
whenever possible reduces waste.  Scrape parts
with a wire brush, or use a bake oven if one is
available.  Prevent spills and drips of solvents and
cleansers to the shop floor.  Do all liquid cleaning
at a centralized .station so the solvents and
residues stay in one area.  If you dip parts in liquid,
remove them slowly to avoid spills.  Locate drip
pans, drain boards, and drying racks to direct drips
back into a sink or fluid holding tank for reuse.
  Q.  Have you looked into using
      nontoxic or less toxic cleaners or
      solvents?
If possible, eliminate or reduce the number or
amount of hazardous materials and waste by
substituting nonhazardous or less hazardous
materials. For example:

   •  Use noncaustic detergents instead of caustic
      cleaning agents for parts cleaning {ask your
      supplier about alternative cleaning agents).
               ACTIVITIES THAT CAN

    •  Use detergent-based or water-based cleaning
      systems in place of organic solvent degreasers. Wash water may require treatment before it
      can be discharged to the sanitary sewer. Contact your local sewer authority for more
      information.

    •  Replace chlorinated organic solvents (1.1.1 -trichloroethane. methylene chloride, etc.) with
      nonchlorinated solvents. Nonchlorinated solvents like kerosene or mineral spirits are less

Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
     toxic and less expensive to dispose of but are by no means harmless themselves.  Check the
     list of active ingredients to see whether it contains chlorinated solvents.

   • Choose cleaning agents that can be recycled.

Contact your supplier or trade journal for more waste minimization ideas.
  Q.  Are work areas and spiils washed or hosed down with water?
rioan UD leaks  drips, and other spills without large amounts of water. Use rags for small spills, a
damp mop ?otgenePral cleanup, and dry absorbent material for larger spills.  Consider the following
BMPs:

    •  Avoid hosing down your work areas.                               .

    •  Collect leaking or dripping fluids in drip pans or containers. If different liquids are kept
      separate, the fluids are easier to recycle.

    •  Keep a drip pan under the vehicle while you unclip hoses, unscrew filters, or remove other
      parts.  Use a drip pan under any vehicle that might leak while you work on it to keep
      splatters or drips off the shop floor.

    •  Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums.  Don't leave full drip
      pans or other open containers lying around

    •  Locate waste and recycling drums in properly controlled areas of the yard, preferably areas
      with a concrete slab and secondary containment.
  Q. Are spills or materials washed or poured down the drain?
 Do not pour liquid waste to floor drains, sinks, outdoor storm drain inlets, or other storm drams or
 sewer connections. Used or leftover cleaning solutions, solvents, and automotive fluids and oil are
 often toxic and should not be put into the sanitary sewer.  Be sure to dispose of these materials
 properly or find opportunities for reuse and recycling.  If you are unsure of how to dispose of
 chemical wastes, contact your State hazardous waste management agency or the RCRA hotline at
 1-800- 424-9346. Post signs at sinks to remind employees, and paint stencils at outdoor drains to
 tell customers and others not to pour wastes down drains.
   Q.  Are oil filters completely drained before recycling or disposal?
  Oil filters disposed of in trash cans or dumpsters can leak oil and contaminate storm water.  Place
  the oil filter in a funnel over the waste oil recycling or disposal collection tank to dram excess oil
  before disposal. Oil filters can be crushed and recycled. Ask your oil supplier or recycler about
  recycling oil filters.                     •

 Q. Are incoming vehicles and equipment checked for leaking oil and fluids?
If possible, park vehicles indoors or under a roof so storm water does npt contact the area. If you
park vehicles outdoors while they await repair, watch them closely for leaks.

Put pans under leaks to collect fluids for proper recycling or disposal. Keeping leaks off the ground
reduces the potential for storm water contamination and reduces cleanup time and costs.  If the
vehicle or equipment is to be stored outdoors, oil and  other fluids should be drained first.

Designate a special area to drain and replace motor oil, coolant, and  other fluids, where there are
no connections to the storm drain or the sanitary sewer and drips and spills can be easily cleaned
up.                         •                    ,
 Q. Are wrecked vehicles or damaged equipment stored onsite?
Be especially careful with wrecked vehicles, whether you keep them indoors or out, as well as with
vehicles kept onsite for scrap or salvage.  Wrecked or damaged vehicles often drip oil and other
fluids for several days.

   •  As the vehicles arrive, place drip pans under them immediately, even if you believe that all
      fluids have leaked out before the car reaches your shop.
      Build a shed or temporary roof over areas where you park
      cars awaiting repairs or salvage, especially if you handle
      wrecked vehicles. Build a roof over vehicles you keep for
      parts.
   •  Drain all fluids, including air conditioner coolant,     ^
      wrecked vehicles and "parts" cars.  Also drain engines,
      transmissions, and other used parts.

   •  Store cracked batteries in a nonleaking secondary
      container.  Do this with all  cracked batteries, even if you
      think all the acid has drained out. If you drop a battery;
      treat it as if it is cracked.  Put it into the containment area
      until you are sure it is not leaking.
                     BATTERY ACID SPK.LS:
                  Handle spilled acid from
                  broken batteries with care, if
                  yott use baking soda to
                  neutralize spilled acid during
                  cleanup, remember that the
                  residue is stflf dangerous to
                  handle and must fae disposed
                  of as a hazardous waste
                  because it may contain lead
                  and other contaminants.
  Q.  Do you recycle any of these materials?
   •  Degreasers

   •  Used oil or oil filters

   •  Antifreeze

   •  Cleaning solutions

   •  Automotive batteries

   •  Hydraulic fluid.

All of these materials can be either recycled at your facility or sent offsite for recycling. Some
recycling options, ranked by level, of effort required, follow:
                                         Least Effort:
             Arrange for collection and transportation of car batteries, used oil and other
             fluids, cleaning solutfons, and degreasers to a commercial recycling facility.
             This requires that you separate wastes and store them until they are picked
             up by the recycling company.

             "Dirty" solvent can be reused. Presoak dirty parts in used solvent before
             cleaning the parts in  fresh solvent.	
                                       Moderate Effort:
             Used oil, antifreeze, and cleaning solutions can be recycled onsite using a
             filtration system that removes impurities and allows the fluid to be reused.
             Filtration systems are commercially available.		
                                         Most Effort:
              Install an onsite solvent recovery unit, if your facility, creates large volumes of
              used solvents, you may consider purchasing or leasing an onsite still to
              recover the solvent for reuse.  Contact your State hazardous waste
              management agency for more information about onsite recycling of used
              solvents.                     	 .	  •
  Q. Can you reduce the number of
      different solvents used?
 Reducing the number of solvents makes recycling easier
 and reduces hazardous waste management costs.  Often,
 one solvent can perform a job as well as two different
 solvents.
  Q.  Are wastes separated?

3.3 BMPs FOR PAINTING OPERATIONS

Many painting  operations use materials or create  wastes that are harmful  to  humans and  the
environment. Storm water runoff from areas where these activities occur can become polluted by a
variety of contaminants such as solvents and dusts from sanding and grinding that contain toxic metals
like cadmium and mercury. These and other potentially harmful substances in storm water can enter
water bodies directiy through storm drains where they can harm fish and wildlife.

The following questions will help you identify potential sources of storm water contamination from
painting operations on your site and BMPs that can reduce or eliminate these sources. Reading-this
section can help you eliminate, reduce.' or recycle pollutants that may otherwise contaminate storm
water.
  Q.  Is care taken to prevent paint
      wastes from contaminating
      storm water runoff?
Use tarps and vacuums to collect solid wastes
produced by sanding or painting. Tarps, drip pans,
or other spill collection devices should be used to
collect spills of paints, solvents, or other liquid
materials. These wastes should be disposed of
properly to keep them from contaminating storm water

'•' Spilied paint or patnt thinner
  Q.  Are wastes from sanding contained?
 Prevent paint chips from coming into contact with storm water. Paint chips may contain hazardous
 metallic pigments or biocides. You can reduce contamination of storm water with paint dust and
 chips from sanding by the following practices:

    • Avoid sanding in windy weather when possible.

    • Enclose outdoor sanding areas with tarps or plastic sheeting. Be sure to provide adequate
      ventilation and personal safety equipment. After sanding is  complete, collect the waste and
      dispose of "rt properly.

    • Keep workshops clean of debris and grit so that the wind will not carry any waste into areas
     ' 'where it can contaminate storm water.

    • Move the activity indoors if you can do so safely.
  Q.  Are parts inspected before painting?
 Inspect the part or vehicle to be painted to ensure that it is dry, clean, and rust free. Paint sticks
 to dry, clean surfaces, which in turn means a better, longer-lasting paint job.

  Q.  Are you using painting equipment that creates little waste?
As little as 30 percent of the paint may reach the target from conventional airless spray guns; the
rest is lost as overspray. Paint solids from overspray are deposited on the ground where they can
contaminate storm water.  Other spray equipment that delivers more paint to the target and less
.overspray should be used:

   •  Electrostatic  spray equipment

   •  Air-atomized spray guns
                                         .                                     f
   •  High-volume/low-pressure spray guns

   •  Gravity-feed  guns.          ,                            .
  Q.  Are employees trained to use spray equipment correctly?
Operator training can reduce overspray and minimize the amount of paint solids that can
contaminate storm water.  Correct spraying techniques also reduce the amount of paint needed per
job. If possible, avoid spraying on windy days. When spraying outdoors, use a drop cloth or
ground cloth to collect and dispose ,pf overspray.
  Q.  Do you recycle paint, paint thinner, or solvents?
These materials can either be recycled at the facility or sent offsite for recycling.  Some recycling ^
options ranked by the level of effort required follow.
                                        Least Effort:
             Dirty solvent can be reused for cleaning dirty spray equipment and parts
             before equipment is cleaned in fresh solvent.

             Give small amounts of left-over paint to the customer for touchup.
                                      Moderate Effort:
             Arrange for collection and transportation of paints, paint thinner, or spent
             solvents to a commercial recycling facility.
                                        Most Effort:
             Install an onsite solvent recovery unit. If your facility creates large volumes of
             used solvents, paint, or paint thinner, you may consider buying or leasing an
             onsite still to recover used solvent for reuse. Contact your State hazardous
             waste management agency for more information about onsite recycling of
             used solvents.

 Q.  Are wastes separated?
Separating wastes makes recycling easier and may reduce treatment costs. Keep hazardous and
nonhazardous wastes separate, and keep chlorinated solvents (like 1,1,1-trichloroethane) separate
from nonchlorinated solvents (like petroleum distillate and mineral spirits).  Check the materials data
sheet for ingredients,  or talk with your waste hauler or recycling company to learn which waste
types can be stored together and which should be separated.
  Q.  Can you reduce the number of solvents you use?
Reducing the number of solvents makes recycling easier and reduces hazardous waste
management costs.  Often, one solvent can do a job as well as two different solvents.
  Q.  Do you use recycled products?
 Many products made of recycled (i.e., refined or purified) materials are available. Buying recycled
 paints, paint thinner, or solvent products helps build the market for recycled materials.

3.4  BMPs FOR VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT WASHING

Washing vehicles and equipment outdoors or in areas where wash water flows onto the ground can
pollute storm water. Wash water can contain high concentrations of oil and grease, phosphates, and
high suspended solid loads (these and other potentially harmful substances can pollute storm water
when deposited on the ground where they can be picked up by rainfall runoff). Vehicle wash water
is considered to be a process wastewater and needs to be covered by an NPDES permit. Contact your
permitting authority for information about how vehicle wash water is being regulated in your area.

The following questions are designed to help  you find  sources of storm water contamination from
vehicle and equipment washing and to select BMPs to reduce those sources. Reading this section can
help you eliminate, reduce, or recycle pollutants that otherwise may contaminate storm water. Also
refer to Vehicle Washing BMP in Section 4.4.
 Q. Have you considered using
     phosphate-free biodegradable
     detergents?
Phosphates, which are plant nutrients, can cause
excessive growth of nuisance plants in water when
they enter lakes or streams in wash water.  Some
States ban the use of detergents containing high
amounts of phosphates.  Contact your supplier
about phosphate-free biodegradable detergents
that are available on the market.
        VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT WASHING
        ACTIVITIES THAT CAN CONTAMINATE
                  STORM WATER:
            Outside equipment or vehicle
            cleaning (washing or steam •
            cleaning)                -

            Wash water discharged directly to
            the ground or storm water drain
 Q. Are vehicles, equipment, or parts
     washed over the open ground?
Used wash water contains high concentrations of
solvents, oil and grease, detergents, and metals. Try not
to wash parts or equipment outside.  Washing over
impervious surfaces like concrete, blacktop, or
hardpacked dirt allows wash water to enter storm drains
directly or deposits contaminants on the ground, where
they are washed into storm drains when it rains. Washing
over pervious ground such as sandy soils potentially can
pollute ground water.  Therefore, small parts and
equipment washing should be done over a parts washing
container where the wash water can be collected and
recycled or disposed of properly.
              EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT IS THE
                           KEY:
             Getting employees interested In
             reducing waste is the key to a
             successful storm water pollution
             prevention plan. Discuss pollution
             prevention with your employees.
             They are most familiar'with the
             operations that generate wastes
             and may have heipfur waste
             reduction suggestions. Consider
             setting up an employee award
             program to promote pollution
             prevention.
If you are washing large equipment or vehicles, and have to wash outside, designate a specific area
for washing. This area should be bermed to collect the wastewater and graded to direct the wash
water to a treatment facility. Consider filtering and recycling vehicle wash water. If recycling is
not practical, the wastewater can be discharged to the sanitary sewer.  Contact your local sewer
authority to find out whether treatment is required before wash water is discharged to the sewer
(pretreatment).

3.5  BMPs FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING MATERIALS

Loading/unloading operations usually take place outside on docks or terminals.  Materials spilled,
leaked, or lost during loading/unloading may collect in the soil or on other surfaces and be carried away
by rainfall runoff or when the area is cleaned.  Rainfall may wash off pollutants from machinery used
to unload or load materials.  The following questions are designed to help you find sources of storm
water contamination from loading and unloading materials and choose BMPs to reduce or eliminate
those sources.  Reading this section can start you on the road to eliminating,  reducing, or recycling
pollutants that otherwise  may contaminate  storm water.  Also refer to the  BMP  on Loading and
Unloading by Air Pressure or Vacuum in Section 4.2.
 Q. Are tank trucks and material delivery
     vehicles located where spills or leaks
     can be contained?
Loading/unloading equipment and vehicles should be
located so that leaks can be contained in existing
containment and flow diversion systems.
  Q.  Is loading/unloading equipment
      checked regularly for leaks?
Check vehicles and equipment regularly for leaks, and
fix any leaks promptly.  Common areas for leaks are
valves, pumps, flanges, and connections.  Look for
dust or fumes. These are signs that material is being
lost during unloading/loading operations.

  Q.  Are.loading/unloading docks or areas covered to prevent exposure to rainfall?
Covering loading and unloading areas, such as building overhangs at loading docks, can reduce
exposure of materials, vehicles, and equipment to rain.
  Q.  Are loading/unloading areas designed to prevent storm water runon?
Runon is storm water created from other areas that flows or "runs on" to your property or site.
Runon flowing across loading/unloading areas can wash contaminants into storm drains.  Runon
can be minimized by:      '    ,

   •  Grading, berming, or curbing the area around the loading area to direct runon away from the
      area

   •  Positioning roof down spouts so storm water is directed away from loading sites and
      equipment and preferably to a grassy or vegetated area where the storm water can soak into
      the ground.                                             '

3.6  BMPs, FOR LIQUID STORAGE IN ABOVE-GROUND TANKS

Accidental releases of chemicals from above-ground liquid storage tanks can contaminate storm water
with many different pollutants. Materials spilled, leaked, or lost from storage tanks may accumulate
in soils or on other surfaces and be carried away by rainfall runoff. The following questions can help
you find sources of storm water contamination from above-ground storage tanks and select BMPs to
reduce or eliminate those sources.   Also refer of the BMPs listed in  Section 4.2 on  exposure
minimization and Section 4.3 on exposure mitigation for more information.
 Q.  Do storage tanks contain liquid
      hazardous materials, hazardous
      wastes, or oil?
Storage of oil and hazardous materials must meet
specific standards set by Federal and State laws.
These standards include SPCC plans, secondary
containment, installation, integrity and leak detection
monitoring, and emergency preparedness plans.
Federal regulations set specific standards for
preventing runon and collecting runoff from hazardous
waste storage, disposal, or treatment areas.  These
standards apply to container storage areas and other
areas used to store, treat, or dispose of hazardous
waste.  If the collected  storm water is a hazardous
waste, it must be managed as a hazardous waste in
accordance with all applicable State .and Federal
environmental regulations.  States, may also have
standards about controlling ruhon and runoff from
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
areas.  To find out more about storage requirements, call
1-800-424-9346 or contact your  State hazardous waste

         management agency.
 Q. Are operators trained in correct operating procedures and safety activities?
Well-trained employees can reduce human errors that lead to accidental releases or spills.
 Q. Do you have safeguards against accidental releases?
Engineered safeguards can help prevent operator errors that may cause the accidental release of
pollutants. Safeguards include:

   • Overflow protection devices on tank systems to warn the operator or to automatically shut
     down transfer pumps when the tank reaches full capacity

   • Protective guards around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle or forklift damage
                                          \                           .      .    •
   • Clearly tagging or labeling of valves to reduce human error.

Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
 Q.
Are the tank systems inspected and is tank integrity tested regularly?
Visually inspect the tank system to identify problem areas before they lead to a release.  Correct
any problems or potential problems as soon as possible.  An audit of a newly installed tank system
by a registered and specially trained professional engineer can identify and correct potential
problems such as loose fittings, poor welding, and improper or poorly fitted gaskets.  After
installation, have operators visually inspect the tank system on a routine basis.  Areas to inspect
include tank foundations, connections, coatings, tank walls, and the piping system.  Look for
corrosion, leaks, straining of tank support structures from leaks, cracks, scratches in protective
coatings, or other physical  damage that may  weaken the tank system.  Integrity testing should be
done periodically by a qualified professional.
  Q.  Are tanks bermed or surrounded by a secondary containmept system?
A secondary containment system around both permanent and temporary tanks allows leaks to be
more easily detected and contains spills or leaks.  Methods include berms, dikes, liners, vaults, and
double-walled tanks. See Chapter 4 for additional information on containment and spill control.

3.7  BMPs FOR INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AREAS AND OUTSIDE
      MANUFACTURING

Storm water runoff from areas where industrial waste is  stored, treated, or disposed of  can be
polluted. Outside manufacturing activities can also contaminate storm water runoff. Activities such
as rock grinding or crushing, painting or coating, grinding or sanding, degreasing or parts cleaning, or
operations that use hazardous materials are particularly dangerous.  Wastes spilled, leaked, or lost from
waste management areas or outside manufacturing activities  may build-up in soils or on other surfaces
and be carried away by rainfall runoff. There is also  a potential for liquid wastes from lagoons or
surface impoundments to overflow to surface waters or soak the soil where they can be picked up by
storm water runoff.  Possible storm water contaminants include toxic compounds, oil and  grease,
paints or solvents, heavy metals, and high levels of suspended solids.

The best way to reduce the potential for storm water  contamination from both waste management
areas and outside manufacturing  activities is to reduce the amount of waste that is created and,
consequently, the amount that must be  stored or treated. The following questions are designed to help
you find  BMPs that can eliminate or reduce the amount or toxicity of industrial wastes as  well as
minimize contamination  of  storm  water from existing  waste management areas.  Waste reduction
BMPs are appropriate for a wide range of industries and are designed to  provide ideas on ways to
reduce wastes. Turn to Appendix D for a list of State and Federal pollution prevention resources that
can provide more information and  assistance in choosing industrial waste reduction BMPs.
 Q.  Have you looked for ways to reduce
      waste at your facility?
The first step to reducing wastes is to assess
activities at your facility.  The assessment is designed
to find situations at your facility where you can
eliminate or reduce waste generation, emissions, and
environmental damage. The assessment involves
steps very similar to those used to develop your
Storm Water  Pollution Prevention Plan, .such as
collecting process-specific information;  setting
pollution prevention targets; and developing,
screening, and selecting waste reduction options for
further study.  Starting a waste reduction program at
your facility has many potential benefits. Some of
these benefits are direct (e.g., cost savings from
reduced raw material use), while others are indirect
(e.g., avoided waste disposal fees).

Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
 Q. Have you considered
     waste reduction BMPs?
There are many different types of BMPs that can
help eliminate or reduce the amount of industrial
waste generated at your facility.  Some of these
BMPs are listed below and referenced in Appendix
D.

    •  Production planning and sequencing

    •  Process or equipment modification

    •  Raw material substitution or elimination

    «  Loss prevention and housekeeping

    •  Waste segregation and separation

    •  Closed-loop recycling

    •  Training and supervision

    •  Reuse and recycling.
OUTSIDE MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES
      OR SITUATIONS THAT CAN
    CONTAMINATE STORM WATER:
  • Processes or equipment that generate
    dusts, vapors, or emissions

-------
                                             Chapter 3—Activity-Specific Source Control BMPs
    •  Covering waste piles with a temporary covering material such as a reinforced tarpaulin,
      polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropylene, or Hypalon

    •  Minimizing storm water runori by enclosing the area or building a berm around the area.
  Q.  Are vehicles used to transport wastes to the land disposal or treatment site
      equipped with anti-spill equipment?
   Transport vehicles equipped with spill prevention equipment can prevent spills of wastes
   during transport.  Examples include:

   •  Vehicles equipped with baffles for liquid wastes

   •  Trucks with sealed gates and spill guards for solid wastes

   •  Trucks with tarps.
  Q.  Do you use loading systems
      that minimize spills and fugitive
      losses such as dust or mists?
Wastes lost during loading or unloading can
contaminate storm water. Vacuum transfer
systems minimize waste loss.
  Q. Are sediments or wastes prevented
     from being tracked off site?
Wastes and sediments tracked offsite can end up
on streets where they are picked up by storm
water runoff. This can be avoided by using
vehicles with specially designed tires, washing
vehicles in a designated area before they leave the
site, and controlling the wash water.
 Q. Is storm water runoff minimized
     from the land disposal site?
            DO YOU OWN OR OPERATE A
          HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT,
         STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITY?
      Federal and State laws establish strict
      standards for managing solid and hazardous
      wastes.  If you are not sure whether you
      own or operate a hazardous waste
      treatment, storage, or disposal facility, call
      the toll-free EPA RCRA hqtfins at 1-800-
      424-9346 or contact your State hazardous
      waste management agency.  Federals
      regulations contain specific standards about
      preventing runon and collecting runoff from
      hazardous waste storage, disposal, or
      treatment areas. These standards apply to
      land treatment units, landfills, waste piles,
      container storage areas', and: other areas .
      used to-store,  treat, or dispose of
      hazardous waste. If the collected storm
      water is a hazardous waste, it must be
      managed in accordance with ail applicable
      State and Federal environmental
      regulations. States may also have
      standards about  controlling runon and
      runoff from hazardous waste-treatment,
      storage, and disposal areas^
You can take certain precautions to minimize the
runoff of polluted storm water from land
application sites: Some precautions are detailed
below.
   • Choose the land application site carefully.  Characteristics that help prevent runoff
     include slopes under 6 percent, permeable soils, a low water table, locations away from
     wetlands or marshes, and closed drainage systems.

 3.8  BMPs FOR OUTSIDE STORAGE OF RAW MATERIALS, BY-PRODUCTS, OR
      FINISHED PRODUCTS

 Raw materials, by-products, finished products, containers, and material storage areas exposed to rain
 and/or runoff can pollute storm water.  Storm water can become contaminated by a wide range of
 contaminants (e.g., metals, oil, and grease) when solid materials wash off or dissolve into water, or
 by spills or leaks. The following questions are designed to help you identify potential sources of storm
 water contamination and select BMPs that can reduce or eliminate those sources. Reading this section
 can help you eliminate or reduce pollutants that otherwise may contaminate storm water.
  GL  Are materials protected from rainfall, runon, and runoff?
The best way to avoid contaminating storm water from outside material storage areas is to prevent
storm water runon or rain from cdming in contact with the materials. This can be done by:
   •  Storing the material indoors  •

   •  Covering the area with a roof

   •  Covering the material with a temporary covering
      made of polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropylene,
      or Hypalon.

   •  Minimizing storm water runon by enclosing the
      area or building a berm around the area.

3.9  BMPs  FOR SALT STORAGE FACILITIES

Salt left exposed to rain or snow can be lost. Salt spilled or blown onto the ground during loading and
unloading will dissolve in storm water runoff. Storm water contaminated with salt can be harmful to
veaetation and aquatic life. Salty storm water runoff soaking into the ground may contaminate ground
water and make ft unsuitable as a drinking water supply. The following BMPs will help reduce storm
water contamination from salt storage and transfer activities.  See Chapter 4 for more detailed
Information on covering storage areas.
  Q.  Are salt piles protected from rain?
The best way to prevent salt from contaminating storm
water is to eliminate or limit the exposure of salt to
rain. Preventing contact with rain also protects against
salt loss and prevents salt from absorbing moisture and
becoming caked or lumpy and making it difficult to
handle and use.

    •  Store salt under a roof.  This is the best way
      to stop direct contact with rain.
 SALT STORAGE ACTIVITIES THAT
CAN CONTAMINATE STORM WATER:
     Saft stored outside in piles or
     bags that are exposed to rain or
     snow
                    ;   ,
     Salt loading and unloading areas
     located outside or in areas where*
     spiffed salt can contaminate   /^
     storm water.. '
 If salt must be stored outside:

    • Build the storage pile on asphalt to, reduce the potential for ground water contamination

    • Cover the  pile with a temporary covering material such as polyethylene, polyurethane,
      polypropylene, or Hypalon.
  Q.  Is storm water runon prevented from contacting storage piles and loading and
      unloading areas?                 -  .	:	
 Storm water runon can be minimized by enclosing the area or building berms around storage,

            SITE-SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL  STORM WATER BMPs
This chapter describes some of the possible Best Management Practices {BMPs) that you might
include in your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan so that pollutants from your site do not mix
with storm water.

Table 4.1 provides an easy index of the BMP descriptions that follow.  The BMPs are grouped by
section into six categories:  Flow Diversion Practices; Exposure Minimization Practices; Mitigative
Practices; Other Preventive Practices; Sediment and Erosion Prevention Practices; and Infiltration
Practices.                 '

The following information is provided for each BMP:  (1) description of the BMP; (2) when and
where the BMP can be used; (3) factors that should be considered when using the  BMP; and
(4) advantages and disadvantages of the BMP. More detailed fact sheets for a limited number of
the Sediment and Erosion Prevention Practices are included as Appendix E. When designing these
structural controls, EPA recommends that you refer to any State or local storm water management
design standards.

4.1   FLOW DIVERSION PRACTICES

Structures that divert stream flow (such as gutters, drains, sewers, dikes, and graded pavement)
are used as BMPs in two ways.  Rrst, flow diversion structures, called storm water conveyances,
may be used to channel storm water away from industrial areas so that pollutants do not mix with
the storm water.  Second, they also may be used to carry pollutants directly to a treatment facility.
This section briefly describes flow diversion as a BMP for industrial storm water.

  watemn     A so  consider the patterns in which the storm water drains so
  may be located to collect the most flow and can be built to handle the amount of wjer they wdl
  Sve.  When deciding on the type of material for the conveyance, cons.der the res.stance of the
  material, its durability, and compatibility with any pollutants it may carry.

  Conveyance systems are most easily installed when a facility is first being cc '"structed; ^ Use of
  existing grades will decrease costs.  Grades should be positive to allow for *e cont^ed
  movement of the runoff through the conveyance system; however, grades should not create an
  ™reaTe"n velocity that causes an increase in erosion (this will also depend upon what matenals
  the conveyance is lined with and the types of outlet controls that are provided).

  Ideally, storm water-conveyances should be inspected to remove debris within >24 ^ hours of rainfall,
  or daily during periods of prolonged rainfall, since heavy storms may clog or damage them. It is
  important to repair damages to these structures as soon as possible.

  What Are They
 Diversion dikes or berms are structures used to block runoff from passing beyond a certain point.
 Temporary dikes are usually made with compacted soil.  More permanent ridges are constructed
 out of concrete, asphalt, or similar materials.

                             (Modified from North Carolina, 1988)
  When and Where to Use Them
Diversion dikes are used to prevent the flow of storm water runoff onto industrial areas.  Limiting
the volume of flow across industrial areas reduces the volume of storm water that may carry
pollutants from the area, requiring treatment for pollutant removal.  This BMP is suitable for
industrial sites where significant volumes of storm water runoff tend to flow onto active industrial
areas. Typically, dikes are built on slopes just uphill from an industrial area together with some sort
of a conveyance such as a swale. The storm water conveyance is necessary to direct the water
away from the dike so that the water will not pool and seep through the dike.
  What to Consider
In planning for the installation of dikes, consider the slope of the drainage area, the height of the
dike, the size of rainfall event it will need to divert, and the type of conveyance that will be used
with the dike. Steeper slopes result in higher volumes of runoff and higher velocities; therefore,
the dike must be constructed to handle this situation.  Remember that dikes are limited in their .
•ability to manage large volumes of runoff.

Chapter 4— Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
Ideally, dikes are installed before industrial activity begins.  However, dikes can be easily
constructed at any time.  Temporary dikes (usually made of dirt) generally only last for 18 months
or less, but they can-be made into permanent structures by stabilizing them with vegetation.
Vegetation is crucial for preventing the erosion of the dike.

Dikes should be inspected regularly for damage.  This is especially important after storm events
since a heavy rain may wash parts of a temporary dike  away. Any necessary  repairs should be
made immediately to make sure the structure continues to do its job.
                                Advantages of Diversion Dikes
     • Effectively limit storm water flows over industrial site areas

     • Can be installed at any time

     • Are economical temporary structures, when built from soil onsite

     • Can be converted from temporary to permanent at any time
                               Disadvantages of Diversion Dikes
     • Are not suitable for large drainage areas unless there is a gentle slope

     • May require maintenance after heavy rains	____

                              Graded Areas and Pavement
Land surfaces can be graded or graded and paved so that storm water runoff is directed away from
industrial activity areas.  The slope of the grade allows the runoff to flow, but limits the runoff from
washing over areas that may be contaminated with pollutants.  Like conveyances and dikes, graded
areas can prevent runoff from contacting industrial areas and becoming contaminated with
pollutants from these areas.  Grading can be a permanent or temporary control measure.
                       FIGURE 4.3  EXAMPLE OF GRADED PAVEMENT
                          (Modified from Santa Clara Valley, 1990)
 When and Where to Use It
Grading land surfaces is appropriate for any industrial site that has outdoor activities that may
contaminate storm water runoff, such as parking lots or outdoor storage areas.  Figure 4.3
illustrates the use of graded pavement  in preventing runoff from washing over a service station
site. Grading is often used with other practices, such as coverings, buffer zones, and other
practices to reduce the runoff velocity and provide infiltration of the uncontaminated runoff^ or to
direct pollutant runoff to storm water treatment facilities.
 What to Consider
When designing graded areas and pavement, both control and containment of runoff flows should
be considered. The grading should control the uncontaminated flow by diverting it around areas

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
that may have pollutants.  The grading should also contain the contaminated flows or divert them
to treatment facilities.

When regrading and~paving an industrial area, the use of concrete paving instead of asphalt should
be considered. This is especially important in potential spill sites or hazardous material storage
areas  Asphalt absorbs organic pollutants and can be slowly dissolved by some fluids, thus
becoming a possible source of contaminants itself. This control measure should be used with a
cover, such as a roof, in areas where contaminants are of concern (see Covering BMP) so that ram
or snow does not fall on_the area and wash the contaminants down slope.

inspect paving regularly for cracks that may allow contaminants to  seep into the ground.  Also,
check to make sure that the drains receiving the storm water flow from the paved area remain
unctogged with sediment or other debris so that low areas do not flood and wash over the areas
where the contaminants may be.
                          Advantages of Graded Areas and Pavement

 4.2 EXPOSURE MINIMIZATION PRACTICES

 By eliminating or minimizing the possibility of storm water coming into contact with pollutants,
 facilities can eliminate or minimize the contamination of storm water discharges associated with
 their industrial activity. As a result, fewer materials will be carried away by storm water runoff,
 the costs of collecting and treating contaminated storm water will be decreased, and safety and
 environmental liabilities that result from spills and leaks will be reduced.

 Completely eliminating the exposure of materials to storm water is not always possible, however.
 For many industrial facilities, enclosure of facility grounds is not technologically or economically
 possible.  Therefore, this section describes several simple and inexpensive structural and
 nonstructural BMPs that a facility can use to minimize the exposure of materials to storm water.

 Containing spills is one of the primary methods of minimizing exposure of contaminants to storm
 water runoff.  Spill containment is used for enclosing any drips, overflows, leaks, or other liquid
 material releases, as well as for isolating and keeping pollutant spills away from storm water runoff.

 There are numerous spill containment methods, ranging from large structural barriers to simple,
 small drip pans. The benefits of each of these practices vary based on cost, need for maintenance,
 and size of the spill they are designed to control.  This section describes several containment
 methods, including:                                                               v

                                   Containment Diking
Containment dikes are temporary or permanent earth or concrete berms or retaining waHs that are
dSgned to hold spills. Diking, one of the most common types of containment, .s an effective
method of pollution prevention for above-ground liquid storage tanks and ra.l car or tank truck
fading and'uXading areas.  Diking can provide one of the best Protective^efrisu^
contamination of storm water because it surrounds the area of concern and holds the
spill materials separated from the storm water outside of the diked area.

   When and Where to Use It
  Diking can be used at any industrial facility but is most commonly used for controlling large spills or
  releases from liquid storage areas and liquid transfer areas.
   What to Consider
  Containment dikes should be large enough to hold an amount equal to the largest single storage
  tank at the particular facility plus the volume of rainfall. For rail car and tank truck loading and
  unloading operations, the diked area should be capable of holding an amount equal to any single

 tank truck compartment.  Materials used to construct the dike should be strong enough to safely
 hold spilled materials.  The materials used usually depend on what is available onsite and the
 substance to be contained, and may consist of earth (i.e., soil or clay), concrete, synthetic
 materials (liners), metal, or other impervious materials. In general, strong acids and bases may
 react with metal containers, concrete, and some plastics, so where spills may consist of these
• substances, other alternatives should be considered.  Some of the more reactive organic chemicals
 may also need to be contained with special liners.  If there are any questions about storing
 chemicals in certain dikes because of their construction materials,  refer to the Material Safety Data
 Sheets (MSDSs).

 Containment dikes may need to be designed with impervious materials to prevent leaking or
 contamination  of storm water, surface, and ground water supplies.

 Similarly, uncontrolled overflows from diked areas  containing spilled materials or contaminated
 storm water should be prevented to protect nearby surface waters or ground waters. Therefore,
 dikes should have either pumping systems (see Sumps BMP) or vacuum trucks available to  remove
 the spilled materials.  When evaluating the performance of the containment system, you should pay
 special attention to the overflow system, since it is often the source of uncontrolled leaks.  If
 overflow systems do not exist, accumulated storm water should be released periodically.
 Contaminated storm water should be treated prior  to release.  Mechanical parts,  such as pumps or
 even manual systems (e.g., slide gates, stopcock valves), may require regular cleaning and
 maintenance.

 When considering containment diking as a BMP, you should consult local authorities about  any
 regulations governing construction of such structures to comply with local and State requirements.
 Facilities located in a flood plain should contact their local flood control authority to ensure  that
 construction of the dikes is permitted.

 Inspections of containment dikes should be conducted during or after significant storms or spills to
 check for washouts or overflows.  In  addition, regular checks of containment dikes (i.e., testing to
 ensure that dikes are capable of holding spills) is recommended. Soil dikes may need to be
 inspected on a more frequent  basis.

 Changes in vegetation, inability of the structure to retain storm water dike erosion, or soggy areas
 indicate problems  with the dike's structure. Damaged areas should be patched and stabilized
 immediately, where necessary.  Earthen dikes may require special  maintenance of vegetation, such
 as mowing and irrigation.

Like containment diking, curbing is a barrier that surrounds an area of concern.  Curbing functions
in a similar way to prevent spills, leaks, etc. from being released to the environment by routing
runoff to treatment or control areas. The terms curbing and diking are sometimes used
interchangeably.

Because curbing is usually small-scale, it cannot contain large spills like diking can, however,
curbing is common at many facilities in small areas where handling and transfernng liquid materials
occur.
                    FIGURE 4.5  CURBING AROUND DRUM STORAGE AREA
  When and Where to Use it
 Curbing can be used at all industrial facilities. It is particularly useful in areas where liquid materials
 are transferred and as a storm water runoff control.

 As with diking, common materials for curbing include earth, concrete, synthetic materials, metal, or
 other impenetrable materials* Asphalt is also a common material used in curbing.
  What to Consider
 For maximum efficiency of curbing, spilled materials should be removed immediately, to allow
 space for future spills.  Curbs should have pumping systems, rather than drainage systems, fpr
 collecting spilled materials.  Manual or mechanical methods, such as those provided by sump
 systems {see Sump BMP), can be used to remove the material.  Curbing systems should be
 maintained through curb repair (patching and replacement).     t

When using curbing for runoff control, facilities should protect the berm by limiting traffic and
installing reinforced berms in areas of concern.

Spills of materials that are stored within a curbed area can be tracked outside of that area when
personnel and equipment leave the area. This tracking can be minimized by grading within the
curbing to direct the spilled materials to a down-slope side of the curbing. This will keep the
materials away from personnel and equipment that pass through the area.  It will also allow the
materials to accumulate in one area making cleanup much easier.

Inspections should also be conducted before forecasted rainfall events and immediately after storm
events. If spilled or leaked materials are observed, cleanup should start immediately.  This will
prevent overflows and/or contamination of storm water runoff. In addition, prompt cleanup of
materials will prevent dilution by rainwater, which can adversely affect recycling opportunities.
Inspection of curbed areas should be conducted regularly, to clear clogging debris. Because
curbing is sized to contain small spill volumes, maintenance  should also be conducted frequently to
prevent overflow of any spilled materials.                                  -

 What Are They
Drip pans are small depressions or pans used to contain very small volumes of leaks, drips, and
spills that occur at a facility.  Drip pans can be depressions in concrete, asphalt, or other
impenetrable materials or they can be made of metals, plastic, or any material that does not react
with the dripped chemicals. Drip pans can be temporary or permanent.

Drip pans are used to catch drips from valves, pipes, etc. so that the materials or chemicals can be
cleaned up easily or recycled before they can contaminate storm water.  Although leaks and drips
should be repaired and eliminated as part of a preventive maintenance program, drip pans can
provide a temporary solution where  repair or replacement must be delayed.  In addition, drip pans
can be an added safeguard when they are positioned beneath areas where leaks and drips may.
occur.

                                          Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 What to Consider
When using drip parts, consider the location of the drip pan, weather conditions, the type of
material to be used for the drip pan, and how it will be cleaned.

The location of the drip pan is important. Because drip pans must be inspected and cleaned
frequently, they must be easy to reach and remove.  In addition, take special care to avoid placing
drip pans in precarious positions such as next to walkways, on uneven pavement/ground, or sitting
on pipelines.  Drip pans inthese locations are easily overturned and may present a safety hazard,
as well as an environmental hazard.

Weather conditions are also important factors.  Heavy winds and rainfall move or damage drip pans
because of their small size and their light weight (if not built-in).  To prevent this, secure the pans
by installing or  anchoring them. Drip pans may be placed on platforms or behind wind blocks or
tied down.                                                              .

For drip pans to be effective,  employees must pay attention to the pans and empty them when
they are nearly full. Because  of their small holding capacities,  drip pans will easily overflow if not
emptied.  Also, recycling efforts can be affected if storm water accumulates  in drip pans and
dilutes the spilled material.  It is important to have clearly specified and easily followed practices of
reuse/recycle and/or disposal, especially the disposal of hazardous materials.  Many facilities dump
the drip pan contents into a nearby larger volume storage container and periodically recycle the
contents of the storage container.

In addition, frequent inspection of the drip pans is necessary due to the possibility of leaks in the
pan itsejf  or in piping or valves that may occur randomly or irregular slow drips that may increase in
volume.  Conduct inspections before forecasted rainfall events to remove accumulated materials
and immediately after storm events to empty storm water accumulations.
                                   Advantages of Drip Pans

Collection basins, or storage basins, are permanent structures where large sp.lls or contaminated
sto m water are contained and stored before cleanup or treatment.  Collector.bums are designed
to receive spills, leaks, etc. that may occur and prevent these materials from being released to the
environment.  Unlike containment dikes, collection basins can receive and contain materials from
many locations across a facility.

Collection basins are commonly confused with treatment units such as ponds, lagoons, ajidI other
containment structures.  Collection basins differ from these structures because they are des.gned
to temporarily store storm water rather than treat it.                           •
  When and Where to Use Them
 Collection basins are appropriate for all industrial sites where space allows.  Collection basins are
 particularly useful for areas that have a high spill potential.
  What to Consider
 The design and installation considerations for collection basins include sizing the basin either to
 hold a certain amount of spill or a certain size storm, or both.  In designing the collection system,
 the type of material for the conveyances, compatibility of various matena s to be carried through
 the system, and requirements for compliance with State and local regulations *«"*?™£^-
 Ideally, the system should function to route the materials quickly and easily to the collection basin.

 When spills occur, the collection system must route the spill or storm water immediately to the
 collection basin. After a spill is contained, the collection system and basin may require cleaning.
 Remove the collection basin contents immediately to prevent an  unintentional release and recycle
 the spilled material as much as possible.  Inspect the structure on a regular basis and after storm
 events or spills. Depending upon the types of pollutants that may be in the storm water, or are
 collected as spills, design of the basin may require a liner to prevent infiltration into the ground
 water. Make sure that the installation of this BMP does not violate State ground water regulat.ons.

 If it is possible that the collection basin may handle  combustible or flammable spilled materials,
 explosion-proof pumping equipment and controls or other appropriate precautions  should  be taken
 to prevent explosions or fires. Consult OSHA and local safety codes and standards for specific
 requirements and guidance.

                                         Sumps
 What Are They
Sumps are holes or low areas that are structured so that liquid spills or leaks will flow down toward
a particular part of a containment area.  Frequently, pumps are placed in a depressed area and are
turned on automatically to transfer liquids away from the sump when the level of liquids gets too
high. Sumps can  be temporary or permanent.
  When and Where to Use Them
Sumos can be used at all facilities.  Sumps are used with other spill containment and treatment
measures and can be located almost anywhere onsite.  Sumps are frequently, located in low lying
areas within material handling or storage areas.
  What to Consider
 When designing and installing a sump system, consider the pump location, function, and system
 alarms. Design and install the sump in the lowest lying area of a containment structure, -allowing
 for materials 'to gather in the area of the sump.  Construct the sump of impenetrable materials and
 provide a smooth surface so that liquids are funneled toward the pump.  It may be appropriate to
 house the pumps in a shed or other structure for protection and stabilization.

 There are numerous factors that should be considered  when purchasing a pump.  Base the size of
 the pump on the maximum expected volume to be collected in the containment structure.  In some
 cases, more than one pump may be appropriate. Typically, pumps that can be submerged under
 the spill are the most appropriate for areas where large spills may occur and that may submerge the
 sump area. The viscosity (thickness) of the  material and the distance that the material must be
 pumped are also important considerations. Install pumps according to the manufacturer s
 recommendations.

 An alarm system can be installed for pumps  that are used to remove collected materials. An alarm
 system can indicate that a pump should be operated by hand or that an automatically operated
 pump has failed to function. Ultimately, facility personnel should have some mechanism to take
 action to prevent spills from by-passing and  overflowing containment structures.

 The pumps and the alarm system used in the sump generally require regular inspections for service
 and maintenance of parts based on manufacturers' recommendations.

 If it is possible that the sump may handle combustible or flammable spilled materials, explosion-
 proof pumping equipment and controls or other appropriate precautions should be taken to prevent
 explosions or fires. Consult OSHA and local safety codes and standards for specific requirements
 and guidance.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                                         Covering
Covering is the partial or total physical enclosure of materials, equipment, process operations, or
activities. Covering certain areas or activities prevents storm water from coming into contact with
potential pollutants and reduces material loss from wind blowing.  Tarpaulins, plastic sheeting,
roofs, buildings, and other enclosures are examples of covering that are effective in preventing
storm water contamination.  Covering can be temporary or permanent.
 When and Where to Use It
Covering is appropriate for outdoor material storage piles {e.g., stockpiles of dry materials, gravel,
sand, compost, sawdust, wood chips, de-icing salt, and building materials) and areas where liquids
and solids in containers are stored or transferred.  Although it may be too expensive to cover or,
enclose all industrial activities, cover high-risk areas (identified during the storm water pollutant
source identification). For example, cover chemical preparation areas, vehicle maintenance areas,
areas where chemically treated products are stored, and areas where salts are stored.

If covering or enclosing the entire activity is not possible, the high-risk part of the activity can often
be separated from other processes and covered.  Another option that reduces the cost of building a
complete enclosure is to build a roof over the activity.  A roof may also eliminate the need for
ventilation and lighting systems (Washington State, 1992).
  What to Consider
 Evaluate the strength and longevity of the covering, as well as its compatibility with the material or
 activity being enclosed. When designing an enclosure, consider access to materials, their handling,
 and transfer. Materials that pose environmental and safety dangers because they are radioactive,
 biological, flammable, explosive, or reactive require special ventilation and temperature
 considerations.

 Covering alone may not protect exposed materials from storm water contact. Place the material on
 an elevated, impermeable surface or build curbing around the outside of the materials to prevent
 problems from  runon of uncontaminated storm water from adjacent areas.

 Frequently inspect covering, such as tarpaulins,  for rips, holes, and general wear. Anchor the
 covering with stakes, tie-down ropes, large rocks, tires, or other easily available heavy  objects.

 Practicing proper materials management within an enclosure or underneath a covered area is
 essential.  For example, floor drainage within an enclosure should be property designed and
 connected to the wastewater  sewer where appropriate and allowed. If connection to an offsite
 wastewater sewer is considered, the local Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) should be
 consulted to find out if there are any pretreatment requirements or restrictions that must be
 followed.

                                     Vehicle Positioning
Vehicle positioning is the practice of locating trucks or rail cars while transferring materials to       .
prevent spills of materials onto the ground surface, which may then contaminate storm water
runoff. Vehicle positioning is a simple and effective method of material spill prevention and yet it is
commonly overlooked.
 When and Where to Use It
Vehicle positioning can be used at all types of industrial facilities.  This practice is appropriate for
any area where materials are transferred from or to vehicles, such as loading a.nd unloading areas,
storage areas, and material transfer areas.  Use vehicle positioning in conjunction with other
practices such as covering, sumps, drip pans, or loading and unloading by air pressure or vacuum
where chemical spills are of concern.
 What to Consider
The purpose of vehicle positioning is to locate vehicles in a stable and appropriate position to
prevent problems, such as spills resulting from broken material storage containers, spills caused by
vehicle movement during materials transfer activities, and spills caused by improperly located
vehicles.  Vehicles should also be positioned near containment or flow diversion systems to collect
unexpected spills from leaks in transfer lines or connections. The following activities are included
in this practice:

   •  Constructing walls that help in positioning the vehicles

   •  Positioning vehicle either over a drain or on a sloped surface that drains to a containment
      structure                                                              '               ,

   •  Outlining required vehicle positions on the pavement

   •  Using wheel guards or wheel blocks

   •  Posting signs requiring the  use of emergency brakes

   •  Requiring vehicles to shut off engines during materials transfer activities.
Advantages of Vehicle Positioning ,

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                  Loading and Unloading by M jPresSure or Vacuum
Air pressure and vacuum systems are commonly used for transporting and load.ng and unloading
materials. These systems are simple to use and effective in transfernng dry chem.cals or sohds
from one area to another, but are less effective as the particles of matenal become more dense.

In an air oressure system, a-safety-relief valve and a dust collector are used  to separate the dry
SateriJsTom thVafr and then release the air accumulated during transfer operations  In a vacuum
Astern, a dust collection device and an air lock, such as a rotary gate or trap door feeder,  are
typically used.

The use of mechanical equipment that involves enclosed lines, such as those provided by air _
pressure (also referred to as  pneumatic) and vacuum loading systems are effect,ve ,nnethods for
minimizing releases of pollutants into the environment. Because of the enclosed nature of the
system, pollutants are not exposed to wind or precipitation and therefore have less potenfal to
contaminate storm water discharges.
  When and Where to Use It
 Air pressure and vacuum systems can be used at all types of industrial facilities.  This equipment is
 located in material handling areas to use for storing, loading and unloadmg, transporting, or
 conveying materials.
  What to Consider
 Unlike many of the other BMPs discussed in this manual, air pressure and vacuum systems may be
 expensive because of the costs of purchasing the system and retrofitting the system to| existing
 materials handling procedures.  In many cases, these systems can be sh.pped to, a fe«lrty and be
 installed onsite without contractor help.  Manufacturer's recommendations should be Allowed
 closely to ensure proper installation. In other cases, systems may have to be designed specrf.cally^
 for a site  Proper design and installation  are very important for air pressure and vacuum  systems to
 be as effective as possible. The equipment may be weatherproof or, if not, consider enclos.ng or
 covering the equipment.

 Conduct routine inspections of air pressure and vacuum systems. Regular maintenance  is required
 of these systems, especially the dust collectors.  Conduct maintenance act.vrt.es based on
 manufacturers'  recommendations.  Inspect air pressure systems more frequently due to the greater
 potential for leaks to the environment.

4.3  MITIGATIVE PRACTICES

Mitigation involves cleaning up or recovering a substance after it has been released or spilled to
reduce the potential impact of a spill before it reaches the environment. Therefore, pollution
mitigation is a' second line of defense where pollution prevention practices have failed or are
impractical. Because spills cannot always be avoided  at industrial sites, it is necessary to plan for
these events and to design proper response procedures. This section discusses mitigative BMPs to
avoid contamination of storm water.  Most of the mitigative practices discussed are simple and
should be incorporated in your facility's good housekeeping and spill response plans.  The
mitigation practices discussed include manual cleanup methods, such as sweeping and shoveling,
mechanical cleanup by excavation or vacuuming, and cleanup with sorbents and gels.

Facilities are cautioned that spills of certain toxic and hazardous substances and their cleanup may
be covered under regulations, including those imposed under the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA), the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

                                         Sweeping
Sweeping with brooms, squeegees, or other mechanical devices is used to remove small quantities
of dry chemicals and dry solids from areas that are exposed to precipitation or storm water runoff.
These areas may include dust or contaminant covered bags, drums containing remaining materials
on their lids, areas housing enclosed or covered materials, and spills of dry chemicals and dry solids
in locations on the industrial site. Cleaning by sweeping with brooms is a low cost practice that
can be performed by all employees and requires no special equipment or training.
 When and Where to Use It
Sweeping can be used at many material handling areas and process areas in all types of industrial
facilities.  Timing is an important consideration for all mitigative practices. To be effective as a
storm water control, cleanup must take place before rainfall or contact with  storm water runoff or
before an outside area is hosed down.

Do not limit your cleanup activities to those outside activities that are exposed to rainfall.  In many
cases, tracking of materials to the outside from areas that are enclosed or covered (e.g., on shoes)
may also occur.
 What to Consider
Store brooms appropriately and do not expose them to precipitation. In addition, rules of
compatibility also apply.  Do not use the same broom to clean up two chemicals that are
incompatible.  Determine the compatibility between the brooms themselves and the chemical of
concern before using this practice.  In some instances, chemicals should be vacuumed instead of
swept.  Be sure that swept material is disposed of properly.
                                   Advantages of Sweeping
     •  Is inexpensive

     •  Requires no special training

     •  Provides recycling opportunities
                                 Disadvantages of Sweeping
       Is a labor-intensive practice

                                        Shoveling
Shoveling is another manual cleanup method that is simple and low in cost.  Generally, shoveling
can be used to remove larger quantities of dry chemicals and dry solids, as well as to remove
wetter solids and sludge. Shoveling is also useful in removing accumulated materials from sites not
accessible by mechanical cleanup methods.
 When and Where to Use It
Shoveling can be used at any facility. Shoveling provides an added advantage over sweeping
because cleanup methods are not limited to dry materials.  In many cases, accumulated solids and
sludges that are in ditches, sumps, or other facility locations can be effectively and quickly
removed by shoveling.

Shovels can also be used to clean up contaminated snows.  Timing is an important consideration in
any mitigative practice.  Materials that could contaminate storm water runoff should be removed
before any storm event.
 What to Consider
As with brooms, clean and store shovels properly.  Also, consider planning for the transport and
disposal or reuse of the shoveled materials.
Advantages of Shoveling
• Is inexpensive
• Provides recycling opportunities " '
• Can remediate larger releases and is effective for dry and wet materials

• Is labor-intensive
• Is not an appropriate

                                   Excavation Practices
  What Are They
 Excavation (i.e., removal of contaminated material) of released materials is typically conducted by
 mechanical equipment, such as plows and backhoes. Generally, plowing and backhoeing can be
 done using a specifically designed vehicle, tractor, or truck.

 Excavation removes the materials of concern and any deposition of contaminants, thereby reducing
 the potential for storm water contamination. Mechanical cleanup methods are typically less precise
 than manual  cleanup methods, resulting in reduced opportunities for recycle and reuse.
  When and Where to Use Them
Excavation practices are most useful for large releases of dry materials and for areas contaminated
by liquid material releases.  In excavation, you want to be sure that all of the contaminated material
is removed.                                                                          .

Timing is an important consideration for all mitigative  practices.  To be effective as a storm water
control, cleanup must take place before a rainfall event.                                      -
  What to Consider
Conduct inspections and operations and maintenance in accordance with a manufacturer's
recommendations, which may include the following:

   •  A specified frequency for inspection, maintenance, and servicing of the equipment

   •  Parts replacement, rotation, and lubrication specifications

   •  Procedures for evaluating all parts.

As with any equipment used during cleanup, other considerations apply, including the following:

   ••. Plows, backhoes,  etc. should be stored appropriately with no exposure to precipitation

   •  Excavated materials should be properly handled or disposed of.
Advantages of Excavation Practices

                              Vacuum and Pump Systems
 What Are They
Vacuum and pump systems are effective for cleaning up spilled or exposed materials.

The benefits of vacuum and pump cleanup systems include simplicity and speed.  With such
systems, only the spilled materials need be collected. Also, these systems are often portable and
can be used at many locations to clean up releases to the environment. Portable systems can
usually be rented.
 When and Where to Use Them
Vacuum and pump systems can be used at any industrial facility.  Both wet and dry materials can
be collected with these systems.  Vacuum systems can be used in material handling areas and
process areas.
 What to Consider
Consider the area of use and the most appropriate size for the system. Since these systems can be
portable, size is important, especially if materials will be stored in the unit.  In this case, the
portable system must have enough suction or positive air pressure to transport materials over long
distances. Include plans for proper disposal or reuse of the collected materials.

                                         Sorbents
 What Are They
Sorbents are materials that are capable of cleaning up spills through the chemical processes of
adsorption and absorption. Sorbents adsorb (an attraction to the outer surface of a material), or
absorb (taken in by the material like a sponge) only when they come in contact with the sorbent
materials. The sorbents must be mixed with a spill or the liquid must be passed  through the
sorbent.  Sorbent materials come in many different forms from  particles to foams.  Often the
particles are held together in structures called booms, pads, or socks. Sorbents  include, but are
not limited to, the following:

   •  Common Materials (clays, sawdust, straw, and flyash)—Generally come in small particles
      that can be thrown onto a spill that is on a surface.  The  materials Absorb the spill by taking
      up the liquid.                                                      -

   •  Polymers (polyurethane and polyolefin)—Come in the form of spheres, beads, or foam
      tablets.  These materials absorb a chemical spill by taking up the liquid into their open-pore
      structure.'

   •  Activated Carbon—Comes in a powdered or granular form and can be mixed with liquids to
      remove pollutants.  This sorbent works by adsorbing the organics to its surface  and can be
      recycled and then reused by a process called regeneration.

   •  "Universal Sorbent Material"—Is a silicate glass foam consisting of rounded particles that can
      absorb the material.
 When and Where to Use Them
Sorbents are useful BMPs for facilities with liquid materials onsite. Timing is important for these
practices. To be effective as a storm water BMP, cleanup must take place before a rainfall.
Sorbents are often used in conjunction with curbing to provide cleanup of small spills within a
containment area.                 .

"Universal Sorbent Materials" are suitable for use on many compounds including acids, alkalis,
alcohols, aldehydes, arsenate, ketbnes, petroleum products, and chlorinated solvents.

Activated carbon is useful for adsorbing many organic compounds.  Organics that are diluted in
water can be passed through a column thai is filled with the activated carbon material to remove
the organics, or the activated carbon can be mixed into the water and can then be filtered out.

Polyurethane is good with chemical liquids such as benzene, chlorinated solvents, epicholorhydrin,
and phenol.  Polyolefin is used to remove organic solvents, such as phenol and various chlorinated
solvents. The beads and spheres are usually mixed into a spill by use of a blower and then are
skimmed from the top surface by use of an oil boom.

More common materials such as clay, sawdust, straw, and fly-ash can be used for a liquid spill on
a surface that is relatively impenetrable, and are usually spread over the spill area with shovels.

Booms, pads, and socks are also useful in areas where there are small liquid spills or drips or where
small amounts of solids may mix with small amounts of storm water runoff. They can function

-------
Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
both to absorb the pollutants from the storm water 'and restrict the movement of a spill. Socks are
often used together with curbing to clean up small spills.
 What to Consider
Because sorbents work by a chemical or physical reaction, some sorbents are better than others for
certain types of spills. Therefore, the use of sorbents requires that personnel know the properties
of the spilled material(s) to know which sorbent is appropriate.  To be effective, sorbents must
adsorb the material spilled but must not react with the spilled material to form hazardous or toxic
substances.  Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.

For sorbents to be effective, they must be applied immediately in the release area. The use of
sorbent material is generally very simple:  the sorbent is added to the area of release, mixed well,
and allowed to adsorb or absorb.  Many sorbents are not reusable once they have been used.
Proper disposal is required.
                                   Advantages of Sorbents
       Work in water environments (booms and socks)

                                      Gelling Agents
 What Are They
Gelling agents are materials that interact with liquids either physically or chemically (i.e., thickening
or polymerization).  Some of the typical gelling agents are polyelectrblytes, polyacrylamide,
butylstyrene copolymers, polyacrylonitrile, polyethylene oxide, and a gelling agent referred to as the
universal gelling agent which is a combination of these synthetics.

Gelling interacts with a material by concentrating and congealing it to become semisolid.  The
semisolid gel later forms a solid material, which can then be cleaned up by manual or mechanical
methods.  The BMP of using a getting agent is one of the few ways to effectively control a liquid
spill before it reaches a receiving water or infiltrates into the,soil and then ground water.
 When and Where to Use Them
Gelling agents are useful for facilities with significant amounts of liquid materials stored onsite.
Gels cannot be used to clean up spills on surface water unless authorized by the U.S. Coast Guard
or EPA Regional Response Team.
 What to Consider
Gels can be used to stop the liquid's flow on land, prevent its seeping into the soil, and reduce the
surface spreading of a spill.  Because of these properties, gels can reduce the need for extensive
cleanup methods and reduce the possibility of storm water contamination from an uncontrolled
industrial spill.  As with sorbents, the use of gels simply involves the addition of the gel to the area
of the spill, mixing well, and allowing the mass to congeal.  To use gels correctly, however,
personnel need to know the properties of the spilled materials so that they can choose the correct
gel.

Timing is particularly important for gelling agent use.  To prevent the movement of materials,
gelling agents must be applied immediately  after the spill. The use of gelling agents results in a
large bulk of congealed mass that usually cannot be separated.  Ultimately, this mass will need to
be cleaned up by manual or mechanical methods' and disposed of properly.

Chapter 4—Site-Specffic Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                             Preventive Monitoring Practices
  What Are They
Preventive monitoring practices include the routine observation of a process or piece of equipment
to ensure its safe performance. It may also include the chemical analysis of storm water before
discharge to the environment.
  When and Where to Use Them
Automatic Monitoring System—In areas where overflows, spills, and catastrophic leaks are
possible, an automatic monitoring system .is recommended.  Some Federal, State, and local laws
require such systems to be present if threats exist to the health and safety of personnel and the
environment.  For material management areas, monitoring may include liquid level detectors,
pressure and temperature gauges, and pressure-relief devices. In material transfer, process, and
material handling areas, automatic monitoring systems can include pressure drop shutoff devices,
flow meters, thermal probes, valve position indicators, and operation lights.  Loading and unloading
operations might use these devices for measuring the volume of tanks before loading, for weighing
vehicles or containers, and for determining rates of flow during loading and unloading.

Automatic Chemical Monitoring—Measures the quality of plant runoff to determine whether
discharge is appropriate or whether diversion to a treatment system is warranted. Such systems
might monitor pH, turbidity, or conductivity. These parameters might be monitored in diked areas,
sewers, drainage ditches, or holding ponds. Systems can also be designed to signal automatic
diversion of contaminated storm water runoff to a holding pond (e.g., a valve or a gate could be
triggered by a certain pollutant in the storm water runoff).

Manned Operations—In material transfer areas and process areas, personnel  can  be stationed to
watch over the operations so that any spills or mismanagement of materials can be corrected
immediately. This is particularly useful at loading and unloading  areas where vehicles or equipment
must be maneuvered into the proper position to unldad (see  Vehicle Positioning BMP).

Nondestructive Testing—Some situations require that a storage tank or a pipeline system be tested
without being physically moved or disassembled. The structural integrity of tanks, valves, pipes,
joints, welds, and other equipment can be tested using nondestructive methods.  Acoustic emission
tests use high frequency sound waves to draw a picture of the structure to reveal cracks,
malformations, or other structural damage.  Another type of testing is hydrostatic pressure testing.
During pressure testing, the tank or pipe is subjected to pressures several times the normal
pressure.  A loss in  pressure during the testing may indicate a leak or some other structural
damage. Tanks and containers should be pressure tested as required by Federal, State, or local
regulations.
 What to Consider
Automated monitoring systems should be placed in an area where plant personnel can easily
observe the measurements.  Alarms can be used in conjunction with the measurement display to
warn personnel. Manned operations should have communication systems available for getting help
in case spills or leaks occur. Especially sensitive or spill-prone areas may require back-up
instrumentation in case the primary instruments malfunction.

                                           Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
Mechanical and electronic equipment should be operated and maintained according to the
manufacturers' recommendations.  Equipment should be inspected regularly to ensure proper and
accurate operation. _

The pollution prevention team, in consultation with a certified safety inspector, should evaluate
system monitoring requirements to decide which systems are appropriate based on hazard
potential.
                         Advantages of Preventive Monitoring Practices
     • Pressure and vacuum testing can locate potential leaks or damage to vessels early.  The
       primary benefit of such testing is in ensuring the safety of personnel, but it also has
       secondary benefits including prevention of storm water contamination.

     • Automatic system monitors allow for early warnings if a leak, overflow, or catastrophic
       incident is imminent.

     • Manning operations, especially during loading and unloading activities, is effective and
       generally inexpensive.

     • The primary benefit of nondestructive testing is in ensuring the safety of personnel, but it
       also has secondary benefits including early detection of the potential for contaminating
       storm water runoff.
                       Disadvantages of Preventive Monitoring Practices
     • Plant personnel often do not have the expertise to maintain automatic equipment.

     • Automatic equipment can fail without warning.

     • Automated process control and monitoring equipment may be expensive to purchase and
       operate

 Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                 Dust Control (Land Disturbance and Demolition Areas)
Dust controls for land disturbance and demolition areas are any controls that reduce the potential
for particles being carried through air or water.  Types of dust control are:

    • Irrigation—Irrigation is a temporary measure involving a light application of water to moisten
      the soil surface.  The process should be repeated as necessary.

    • Minimization of Denuded Areas—Minimizing soil exposure reduces the amount of soil
      available for transport and erosion. Soil exposure can be lessened by temporary or
      permanent soil stabilization controls, such as seeding, mulching, topsoiling, crushed stone or
      coarse gravel spreading, or tree planting.  Maintaining existing vegetation on a site will also
      help control dust.

    « Wind Breaks—Wind breaks are temporary or permanent barriers that  reduce airborne particles
      by slowing wind velocities (slower winds do not suspend particles).   Leaving existing trees
      and large shrubs in place will create effective wind breaks. More temporary types of wind
      breaks are solid board fences, snow fences, tarp curtains, bales of hay, crate walls, and
      sediment walls.
    • Tillage—Deep plowing will roughen the soil surface to bring up to the surface cohesive clods
      of soil, which in turn rest on top of dusts, protecting them from wind and water erosion.
      This practice is commonly practiced in arid regions where establishing vegetation may take
      time.                                                                   .

    • Chemical Soil Treatments (palliatives)—These  are temporary controls that are applied to soil
      surfaces in the form of spray-on adhesives, such as anionic asphalt emulsion, latex emulsion,
      resin-water emulsions, or calcium chloride. The palliative is the chemical used.  These should
      be used with caution as they may create pollution if not used correctly.
 When and Where to Use It
Dust controls can be used on any site where dust may be generated and where the dust may cause
onsite and offsite damage.  Dust controls are especially critical in arid areas, where reduced rainfall
levels expose soil particles for transport by air and runoff. This control should be used in
conjunction with other sedimentation controis such as sediment traps.
 What to Consider
To control dust during land disturbance and at demolition areas, exposure of soil should be limited
as much as possible. When possible, work that causes soil disturbance or involves demolition
should be done in phases and should be accompanied by temporary stabilization measures.  These
precautions will minimize the amount of soil that is disturbed at any one time and,  therefore,
control dust.

Oil should not be used to control dust because of its high potential for polluting storm water
discharges.

Irrigation will  be most effective if site drainage systems are checked to ensure that the right
amount of water is used. Too much water can cause runoff problems.

                                          Chapter 4-Site-Specffic Industrial Storm Water BMPs
Chemical treatment is only effective on mineral soils, as opposed to muck soils, because the
chemicals bond better to mineral soils.  Therefore, it should be used only in arid regions.  Vehicular
traffic should be routed around chemically treated areas to avoid tracking of the chemicals. Certain
chemicals may be inappropriate for some types of soils or application areas.  For example, spraying
chemicals on the soil of an industrial site adjacent to a school may be dangerous. Local
governments usually have  information about restrictions on the types  of palliatives that may be
used. Special consideration must be given to preserving ground water quality whenever chemicals
are applied to the land.

Since most of these techniques are temporary controls, sites should be inspected often and
materials should be reapplied when needed.  The .frequency for these inspections depends on site-
specific conditions, weather conditions, and the type of technique used.
              Advantages of Dust Control (Land Disturbance and Demolition Areas)
     •  Can help prevent wind-and-water based erosion of disturbed areas and will reduce
       respiratory problems in employees

     •  Some types can be implemented quickly at low cost and effort (except wind breaks)

     •  Helps preserve the aesthetics of the site and screens certain activities from view (wind
       breaks)

     •  Vegetative wind breaks are permanent and an excellent alternative to chemical use
             Disadvantages of Dust Control (Land Disturbance and Demolition Areas)
     •  Some types are temporary and must be reapplied or replenished regularly

     •  Some types are expensive (irrigation and chemical treatment) and may be ineffective under
       certain conditions

     •  May result in health and/or environmental hazards, e.g., if overapplication of the chemicals
       leaves large amounts exposed to wind and rain erosion or ground water contamination

     »  May create excess runoff that the site was not designed to control (irrigation)

     •  May cause  increased offsite tracking of mud (irrigation)

     •  Is not as effective as chemical treatment or mulching and seeding; requires land space that
       may not be available at all locations (wind breaks)

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                                 Dust Control (Industrial)
Dust controls for material handling areas are controls that prevent pollutants from entering storm
water discharges by reducing the surface and air transport of dust caused by industrial activities.
Consider the following types of controls:

   • Water spraying                                                                     ,

   • Negative pressure systems (vacuum systems)

   • Collector systems (bag and cyclone)

   • Rlter systems

   • Street sweeping.

The  purpose of industrial dust control is to collect or contain dusts to prevent storm water runoff
from carrying the dusts to the sewer collection system or to surface waters.
 When and-Where to Use li
Dust control is useful in any process area, loading and unloading area, material handling areas, and
transfer areas where dust is generated. Street sweeping is limited to areas that are paved.
 What to Consider
Mechanical dust collection systems are designed according to the size of dust particles and the
amount of air to be processed. Manufacturers' recommendations should be followed for
installation  (as well as the design of the equipment).

if water sprayers are used, dust-contaminated waters should be collected and taken for treatment.
Areas will probably need to be resprayed to keep dust from spreading.

Two kinds of street sweepers are common: brush and vacuum. Vacuum sweepers are more
efficient and work best when the area is dry.

Mechanical equipment should be operated according to the manufacturers'  recommendations and
should be inspected regularly.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                                     Signs and Labels
 What Are They
Signs and labels identify problem areas or hazardous materials at a facility. Warning signs, often
found at industrial facilities, are a good way to suggest caution in certain areas. Signs and labels
can also provide instructions on the use of materials and equipment.  Labelling is a good way to
organize large amounts of materials, pipes,  and equipment, particularly on large sites.         ;

Labels tell material type and container contents.  Accurate labeling can help facilities to quickly
identify the type of material released so facility personnel can respond correctly.

Two effective labeling methods include color coding and Department of Transportation (DOT)
labeling. Color coding is easily recognized by facility personnel and simply involves painting/coating
or applying an adhesive label to the container. Color codes must be consistent throughout the
facility to be effective,  and signs explaining the color codes should be posted in all areas.

DOT requires that labels be prominently displayed on transported hazardous and toxic materials.
Labeling required by DOT could be expanded to piping and containers, making it easy to recognize
materials that are corrosive, radioactive, reactive, flammable, explosive, or poisonous.
                  FIGURE 4.8 SIGN ON DRUM INDICATING FLAMMABILITY
 When and Where to Use Them
Signs and labels can be used at all types of facilities. Areas where they are particularly useful are
material transfer areas, equipment areas, loading and unloading areas, or anywhere information

  What to Consider
 Signs and labels should be visible and easy to read.  Useful signs and labels might provide the
 following information:

    •  Names of facility and regulatory personnel, including emergency phone numbers, to contact
       in case of an accidental discharge, spill, or other emergency

    •  Proper uses of equipment that could cause release of storm water contaminants

    •  Types of chemicals used in high-risk areas

    •  The direction of drainage lines/ditches and their destination (treatment or discharge)

    *  Information on a specific material

    *  Refer to OSHA standards for sizes and numbers of signs required for hazardous material
       labeling.         .


 Hazardous chemicals might be labeled as follows:

    •  Danger                                        • Poisonous

    »  Combustible                                   • Caustic

 Periodic checks can ensure that signs are still in place and  labels are properly attached.  Signs and
 labels  should be replaced and repaired as often as necessary.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                                           Security
Setting up a security system as part of your Plan could help prevent an accidental or intentional
release of materials to storm water runoff as a result of vandalism, theft, sabotage, or other
improper uses of facility property.  If your facility already has a security system, consider improving
it by training security personnel.about the specifics of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
Routine patrol, lighting, and access control are discussed below as possible measures to include  in
your facility's  security system.
 When and Where to Use It
Routine patrol, lighting, and access control are measures that can be used at any facility.
 What to Consider
Security information could, be included in the existing training required by the Plan to instruct
personnel about where and how to patrol areas within the facility.  Instruction  might also include
what to look for in problem areas and how to respond to problems.  During routine patrol, security
personnel can actively search the facility site for indications of spills, leaks, or  other discharges;
respond to any disturbance resulting from intruders or inappropriate facility operations; and
generally work as a safeguard to prevent unexpected events. Routine patrols could be an effective
part of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, especially for large facilities  with established
security measures.  To make this practice effective,  security personnel can help develop the Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan, possibly with one person acting as a member  of the pollution
prevention committee.

Sufficient lighting throughout the facility during daytime and night hours will make it easier to get
to equipment during checks and will make it easy to detect spills and leaks that might otherwise be
hidden. Routine patrols are also easier with proper lighting.

Controlling access to the industrial site is an important part of plant security and of activity and
traffic control.  Signs, fencing, guard houses, dog patrols, and  visitor clearance requirements are
often used to control site access.

    • Signs are the simplest, most inexpensive method of access control, but they are limited in
     their actual control since they provide no physical barriers and require that people obey them
     voluntarily.

    • Fencing provides a physical barrier to the facility site and an added means of security.

    • Guard houses used with  visitor rules can help to ensure that only authorized personnel enter
     the facility site and can limit vehicular traffic as well.

    • Traffic signs are also useful at facility sites.  Restricting vehicles to paved roads and
     providing direction and warning signs can help prevent accidents.  Where restricting vehicles
     to certain pathways is  not possible, it is important to ensure that all above-ground valves and
     pipelines are well marked.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Wpter BMPs
                                 Area Control Procedures
 What Are They
The activities conducted at an industrial site often result in the materials being deposited on clothes
and footwear and the being carried throughout the facility site.  As a result, these materials may
find their way into the storm water runoff.

Area control procedures involve practicing good  housekeeping measures such as maintaining indoor
or covered material storage and industrial processing areas.  If. the area is kept clean, the risk of
accumulating materials on footwear and clothing is reduced.  In turn, the chance of left over
pollutants making contact with storm water and polluting surface water is minimized.
 When and Where to Use Them
Area control measures can be used at any facility where materials may be tracked into areas where
they can come in contact with storm water runoff.  Areas can include material handling areas,
storage areas, or process areas.
 What to Consider
Materials storage areas and industrial processing areas should be checked regularly to ensure that
good housekeeping measures are being implemented. Cover-garments, foot mats, and other
devices used to collect residual material near the area should be cleaned regularly.

Other effective practices include the following:

   •  Brushing off  clothing before leaving the area
                       i                                                       -
   •  Stomping feet to remove material before leaving the area

   •  Using floor mats at area exits                   .

   •  Using coveralls, smocks, and other overgarments in areas where exposure to material is of
      greatest concern (employees should remove the overgarments before leaving the area)

   •  Posting signs to remind employees about these practices.
Advantages of Area Control Procedures
• Are easy
• Result in
to implement
a cleaner facility and improved work environment
Disadvantage of Area Control Procedures
• May be seen as tedious by employees and therefore may not be followed

 Materials that accumulate on vehicles and then scatter across industrial sites represent an
 important source of storm water contamination.  Vehicle washing removes materials such as site-
 specific dust and spilled materials that have accumulated on the vehicle. If not removed, residual
 material  will be spread by gravity, wind, snow, or rainfall as the vehicles move across the facility
 site and  off the site.

This practice is appropriate for any facility where vehicles come into contact with raw materials on
a site.  If possible, the vehicle washing area should be built near the location where the most
vehicle activity occurs. Wastewater from vehicle washing should be directed away from process
materials to prevent contact.  Those areas include material transfer areas, loading and unloading
areas, or areas located just before the site exit.
 What to Consider
When considering the method of vehicle washing, the facility should consider using a high-pressure
water spray with no detergent additives.  In general, water will adequately remove contaminants
from the vehicle.  If detergents are used, they may cause other environmental impacts. Phosphate-
or organic-containing compounds should be avoided.

if this practice is considered, truck wash waters will result in a non-storm water discharge, thus
requiring an application for an NPDES permit to cover the discharge.

Blowers or vacuums should be considered where the materials are dry and easily removed by air.
Advantages of Vehicle Washing
• Prevents dispersion of materials across the facility site

4.5  SEDIMENT AND EROSION PREVENTION PRACTICES

Any site where soils~are exposed to water, wind or ice can have soil erosion and sedimentation
problems.  Erosion is a natural process in which soil and rock material is loosened and removed.
Sedimentation occurs when soil particles are suspended in surface runoff or wind and are deposited
in streams and other water bodies.

Human activities can accelerate erosion by removing vegetation, compacting or disturbing the soil,
changing natural drainage patterns, and by covering the ground with impermeable surfaces
(pavement, concrete,  buildings).  When the land surface is developed or "hardened" in this manner,
storm water and snowmelt can not seep into or "infiltrate" the ground. This results in larger
amounts of water moving more quickly across a site which can carry more sediment and other
pollutants to streams and rivers.       <                    .

EPA's General Permit requires that all industries identify in their Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans areas that may have a high potential for soil erosion. This includes areas with such heavy
activity that plants cannot grow, soil stockpiles, stream banks, steep slopes, construction areas,
demolition areas, and any area where the soil is disturbed, denuded (stripped of plants),  and subject
to wind and water erosion. EPA further requires that you  take steps to limit this erosion.

There are seven ways to limit and control sediment and erosion on your site:

    • Leave as much vegetation (plants) onsite as possible.                               '

    • Minimize the time that soil is exposed.

    • Prevent runoff from flowing across disturbed areas (divert the flow to vegetated areas).

    • Stabilizing the disturbed soils as soon as possible.

    • Slow down the runoff flowing across the site.

    • Provide drainage ways for the increased runoff (use  grassy swales rather than concrete
     drains).

    • Remove sediment from storm water runoff before it  leaves the site.

Using these measures to  control erosion and sedimentation is an important part of storm water
management.  Selecting the best set of sediment and erosion prevention measures for your
industry depends upon the nature of the activities  on your site (i.e., how much construction or land
disturbance there is) and  other site-specific conditions (soil type, topography, climate,  and season).
Section 4.5.1 discusses some temporary and permanent ways to stabilize  your site.  Section 4.5.2
describes more structural ways to control sediment and erosion:

In some arid regions, growing vegetation to prevent erosion may be difficult. The local Soil
Conservation Service Office or County Extension Office can provide information on any special
measures necessary to promote the establishment of vegetation.


4.5.1   Vegetative Practices

Preserving existing vegetation or revegetatihg disturbed soil as soon as possible after construction
is the most effective way to control erosion.  A vegetation cover reduces erosion potential in four
ways:  (1)  by shielding the soil surface from direct erosive impact of raindrops; (2) by improving

September 1992                             4-51

-------
Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
the soil's water storage porosity and capacity so more water can infiltrate into the ground; (3) by
slowing the runoff and allowing the sediment to drop out or deposit; and (4) by physically holding
the soil in place with- plant roots.

Vegetative cover can be grass, trees, shrubs, bark, mulch, or straw. Grasses  are the most
common type of cover used for revegetation because they grow quickly, providing erosion
protection within days.  Other soil stabilization practices such as straw or mulch may be used
during non-growing seasons to prevent erosion.  Newly planted shrubs and trees establish root
systems more slowly, so keeping existing ones is a more effective practice.

Vegetative and other site stabilization practices .can be either temporary or permanent controls.
Temporary controls provide a cover for exposed or disturbed areas for short periods of time or until
permanent erosion controls are put in place. Permanent vegetative practices are used when
activities that disturb the soil are completed or when erosion is occurring on a site that is otherwise
stabilized.  The remainder of this section  describes the common vegetative practices listed below:

   •  Preservation of Natural Vegetation

   •  Buffer Zones

   •  Stream Bank Stabilization

   •  Mulching, Matting, and Netting

   •  Temporary Seeding

   •  Permanent Seeding and Planting

   •  Sodding

   •  Chemical Stabilization.

                            Preservation of Natural Vegetation
The preservation of natural vegetation (existing trees, vines, brushes, and grasses) provides natural
buffer zones.  By preserving stabilized areas, it minimizes erosion potential, protects water quality,".
and provides aesthetic benefits.  This practice is used as a permanent control measure.
 When and Where to Use It
This technique is applicable to all types of sites.  Areas where preserving vegetation can be
particularly beneficial are fioodplains, wetlands, stream banks, steep slopes, and other areas where
erosion controls would be difficult to establish, install, or maintain..
 What to Consider
Preservation of vegetation on a site should be planned before any site disturbance begins.
Preservation requires good site management to minimize the impact of construction activities on
existing vegetation.  Clearly mark the trees to be preserved and protect them from ground
disturbances around the base of the tree. Proper maintenance is important to ensure healthy
vegetation that can control erosion. Different species, soil types, and climatic conditions will
require different maintenance activities such as mowing, fertilizing, liming, irrigation, pruning, and
weed and pest control.  Some State/local regulations require natural vegetation to be preserved in
sensitive areas; consult the appropriate State/local agencies for more information on their
regulations. Maintenance should be performed regularly, especially during construction.
                        Advantages of Preservation of Natural Vegetation
     • Can handle higher quantities of storm water runoff than newly seeded areas
     « Does not require time to establish (i.e., effective immediately)

     • Increases the filtering capacity because the vegetation and root structure are usually
       denser in preserved natural vegetation than in newly seeded or base areas
     • Enhances aesthetics

     * Provides areas for infiltration, reducing the quantity and velocity of storm water runoff

     • Allows areas where wildlife can remain undisturbed

     • Provides noise buffers and screens for onsite operations
     • Usually requires less maintenance (e.g., irrigation, fertilizer) than planting new vegetation
                       Disadvantages of Preservation of Natural Vegetation
     • Requires planning to preserve and maintain the existing vegetation

     • May not be cost effective with high land costs

     • May constrict area available for construction activities

                                       Buffer Zones
  What Are They
Buffer zones are vegetated strips of land used for temporary or permanent water quality benefits.
Buffer zones are used to decrease the velocity of storm water runoff, which in turn helps to
prevent soil erosion. Buffer zones are different from vegetated filter strips (see section on
Vegetated  Filter Strips) because buffer zone effectiveness is not measured by its ability to improve
infiltration  (allow water to go into the ground).  The buffer zone can be an area of vegetation that
is left undisturbed during construction, or it can be newly planted.                          .

                           (Modified from Washington State, 1992)
 When and Where to Use Them
Buffer zones technique can be used at any site that can support vegetation. Buffer zones are
particularly effective on floodplains, next to wetlands, along stream banks, and on steep, unstable
slopes.
 What to Consider
If buffer zones are preserved, existing vegetation, good planning, and site management are needed
to protect against disturbances such as grade changes, excavation, damage from equipment, and
other activities.  Establishing new buffer strips 'requires the establishment of a good dense turf,
trees, and shrubs (see Permanent Seeding and Planting). Careful maintenance is important to
ensure healthy vegetation.  The need for routine maintenance such as mowing, fertilizing, liming,
irrigating, pruning, and weed and pest control will depend on the species of plants and trees
involved, soil types, and climatic conditions.  Maintaining planted areas may require debris removal
and protection against unintended uses or traffic.  Many State/local storm water program or zoning

agencies have regulations which define required or allowable buffer zones especially near sensitive
areas such as wetlands.  Contact the appropriate State/local agencies for their requirements.
                                 Advantages of Buffer Zones
     •  Provide aesthetic as well as water quality benefits

     •  Provide areas for infiltration, which reduces amount and speed of-storm water runoff

     •  Provide areas for wildlife habitat

     •  Provide areas for recreation

     •  Low maintenance requirements

     •  May not be cost effective to use if the cost of land is high

     •  Are not feasible if land is not available

                                 Stream Bank Stabilization
Stream bank stabilization is used to prevent stream bank erosion from high velocities and quantities
of storm water runoff. Typical methods include the following:

   •  Riprap-Large angular stones placed along the stream bank or lake

   •  Gabion-Rock-filled wire cages that are used to create a new stream bank

   •  Reinforced Concrete-Concrete bulkheads and retaining walls that replace natural stream
      banks and create a nonerosive surface

   •  Log Cribbing-Retaining walls built of logs to anchor the soils against erosive forces. Usually
      built on the outside of stream bends

   •  Grid Pavers-Precast  or poured-in-place concrete units that are placed along stream banks to
      stabilize the stream bank and create open spaces where vegetation can be established

   •  Asphalt-Asphalt paving that is placed along the natural stream bank to create a nonerosive
      surface.
 When and Where to Use It
Stream bank stabilization is used where vegetative stabilization practices are not practical and
where the stream banks are subject to heavy erosion from increased flows or disturbance during
construction.  Stabilization should occur before any land development in the watershed area.
Stabilization can also be retrofitted when erosion of a stream bank occurs.
 What to Consider
Stream bank stabilization structures should be planned and designed by a professional engineer
licensed in the State where the site is located.  Applicable Federal, State, and local requirements
should be followed, including Clean Water Act Section 404 regulations. An important design
feature of stream bank stabilization methods is the foundation of the structure; the potential for the
stream to erode the sides and bottom of the channel should be considered to make sure the
stabilization measure will be supported properly. Structures can be designed to protect and
improve natural wildlife habitats; for example,  log structures and grid pavers can be designed to
keep vegetation.  Only pressure-treated wood should be used in log structures.  Permanent
structures should be designed to handle expected flood conditions.  A well-designed layer of stone
can be used in many ways and in many locations to control erosion and sedimentation.  Riprap
protects soil from erosion and is often used on steep slopes built with fill materials that are subject
to harsh weather or seepage.  Riprap can also be used for flow channel liners, inlet and outlet
protection at culverts, stream bank protection, and protection of shore lines subject to wave action.
It is used where water is turbulent and fast flowing and where soil may erode under the design .
flow conditions. It is used to expose the water to air as well as to reduce water energy. Riprap
and gabion (wire mesh cages filled with rock) are usually placed over a filter blanket (i.e., a gravel
layer or filter cloth).  Riprap is either a uniform size or graded (different sizes) and is usually applied
in an even layer throughout the stream. Reinforced concrete structures may require positive

 drainage behind the bulkhead or retaining wall to prevent erosion around the structure. Gabion and
 grid pavers should be installed according to manufacturers' recommendations.

 Stream bank stabilization structures should be inspected regularly and after each large storm event.
 Structures should be maintained as installed.  Structural damage should be repaired as soon as
 possible to prevent further damage or erosion to the stream bank.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                             Mulching, Matting, and Netting
 What Are They
Mulching is a temporary soil stabilization or erosion control practice where materials such as grass,
hay, woodchips, wood fibers, straw, or gravel are placed on the soil surface.  In addition to
stabilizing soils, mulching can reduce the speed of storm water runoff over an area. When used
together with seeding or planting, mulching can aid in plant growth by holding the seeds, fertilizers,
and topsoil in place, by preventing birds from eating seeds, helping to retain moisture, and by
insulating against extreme temperatures.  Mulch mattings are materials  (jute or other wood fibers)
that have been formed into sheets of mulch that are more stable than normal mulch. Netting is
typically made from jute, other wood fiber, plastic, paper, or cotton and can be used to hold the
mulching and matting to the ground. Netting can also be used alone  to stabilize soils while the
plants are growing; however, it does not retain moisture or temperature well.  Mulch binders (either
asphalt or synthetic) are sometimes  used instead of netting to hold loose mulches together.

                                          Chapter 4-Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 When and Where to Use Them
Mulching is often used alone in areas where temporary seeding cannot be used because of the
season or climate. Mulching can provide immediate, effective, and inexpensive erosion control.  On
steep slopes and critical areas such as waterways, mulch matting is used with netting or anchoring
to hold it in place.

Mulch seeded and planted areas where slopes are steeper than 2:1, where runoff is flowing across
the area, or when seedlings need protection from bad weather.
 What to Consider
Use of mulch may or may not require a binder, netting, or the tacking of mulch to the ground.
Effective netting and matting require firm, continuous contact between the materials and the soil.
If there is no contact, the material will not hold the soil and erosion will occur underneath the
material. Final grading is not necessary before mulching. Mulched areas should be inspected often
to find where mulched material has been loosened or removed.  Such areas should be reseeded (if
necessary) and the mulch cover replaced immediately.  Mulch binders should be applied at rates
recommended by the manufacturer or, if asphalt is used, at rates of approximately 480 gallons per
acre (Arapahoe County,  1988).
                        Advantages of Mulching, Matting, and Netting
     •  Provide immediate protection to soils that are exposed and that are subject to heavy
       erosion

     •  Retain moisture, which may minimize the need for watering

     •  Require no removal because of natural deterioration of mulching and matting
                       Disadvantages of Mulching, Matting, and Netting
       May delay germination of some seeds because cover reduces the soil surface temperature

       Netting should be removed after usefulness is finished, then landfilled or composted

Temporary seeding means growing a short-term vegetative cover (plants) on disturbed site areas
that may.be in danger of erosion.  The purpose of temporary seeding is to reduce erosion and
sedimentation by stabilizing disturbed areas that will not be stabilized for long periods of time or
where permanent plant growth is not necessary or appropriate.  This practice uses fast-growing
grasses whose root systems hold down the soils so that they are less apt to be carried offsite by
storm water runoff or wind.  Temporary seeding also reduces the problems associated with mud
and dust from bare soil surfaces during construction.

 When and Where to Use it
Temporary seeding should be performed on areas which have been disturbed by construction and
which are likely to be redisturbed, but not for several weeks or more. Typical areas might include
denuded areas, soil stockpiles, dikes, dams, sides of sediment basins, and temporary roadbanks.
Temporary seeding should take place as soon as practicable after the last land disturbing activity in
an area.  Check the requirements of your permit for the maximum amount of time allowed between
the last disturbance of an area and temporary stabilization. Temporary seeding may not be an

effective practice in arid and semi-arid regions where the climate prevents fast plant growth,
particularly during the dry seasons. In those areas, mulching or chemical stabilization may be
better for the short-term (see sections on Mulching, Geotextiles, and Chemical Stabilization).
  What to Consider
Proper seed bed preparation and the use of high-quality seed are needed to grow plants for
effective erosion control.  Soil that has been compacted by heavy traffic or machinery may need to
be loosened. Successful growth usually requires that the soil be tilled before the seed is applied.
Topsoiling is not necessary for temporary seeding; however, it may improve the chances of
establishing temporary vegetation in an  area.  Seed bed preparation may also require applying
fertilizer and/or lime to the soil to make  conditions more suitable for plant growth. Proper fertilizer,
seeding mixtures, and seeding rates vary depending on the location of the site, soil types, slopes,
and season.  Local suppliers. State and local regulatory agencies, and the USDA Soil Conservation
Service will supply information on the best seed mixes and soil conditioning methods.

Seeded areas should be covered with mulch to provide protection  from the weather.  Seeding on
slopes of 2:1 or more,  in adverse soil  conditions, during excessively hot or dry weather, or where
heavy rain is expected  should be followed by spreading mulch (see section on Mulching).  Frequent
inspections are necessary to check that conditions for growth are  good. If the plants do not grow
quickly or thick enough to prevent erosion, the area should be reseeded as soon as possible.
Seeded areas should be kept adequately moist.  If normal rainfall will not be enough, mulching,
matting, and controlled watering should be done.  If seeded areas  are watered, watering rates
should be watched so that over-irrigation (which can cause erosion itself) does not occur.

                             Permanent Seeding and Planting
 Permanent seeding of grass and planting trees and brush provides stabilization to the soil by
 holding soil particles in place.  Vegetation reduces sediments and runoff to downstream areas by
 slowing the velocity of runoff and permitting greater infiltration of the runoff.  Vegetation also
 filters sediments, helps the soil absorb water, improves wildlife habitats,  and enhances the
 aesthetics of a site.

                         (Modified from State of North Carolina, 1988}
 When and Where to Use It
Permanent seeding and planting is appropriate for any graded or cleared area where long-lived plant
cover is desired. Some areas where permanent seeding is especially important are filter strips,
buffer areas, vegetated swales, steep slopes, and stream banks.  This practice is effective on areas
where soils are unstable because of their texture, structure, a high water table, high winds, or high
slope.  When seeding in northern areas during fall or winter, cover the area with mulch to provide a
protective barrier against cold weather (see Mulching). Seeding should also be mulched if the
seeded area slopes 4:1 or more, if soil is sandy or clayey, or if weather is excessively hot or dry.
Plant when conditions are most favorable for growth. When possible, use low-maintenance local
plant species.  Install  all other erosion control practices such as dikes, basins, and surface runoff
control measures before planting.
 What to Consider
For this practice to work, it is important to select appropriate vegetation, prepare a good seedbed,
properly time planting, and water and fertilize.  Planting local plants during their regular growing

season will increase the chances for success and may lessen the need for watering. Check seeded
areas frequently for proper watering and growth conditions.

Topsoil should be used on areas where topsoils have been removed, where the soils are dense or
impermeable, or where mulching and fertilizers alone cannot improve soil quality. Topsoiling should
be coordinated with the seeding and planting practices and should •not be planned while the ground
is frozen or too wet. Topsoil layers should be at least 2 inches deep (or similar to the existing
topsoil depth).
                '                  '          /
To minimize erosion and sedimentation, remove as little existing topsoil as possible. All site
controls should be in place before the topsoil is removed.  If topsoils are brought in from another
site, it is important that its texture is compatible with the subsoils onsite; for example, sandy
topsoils are not compatible with clay subsoils.

Stockpiling of topsoils onsite requires  good planning so soils will not obstruct other operations.  If
soil is to be stockpiled, consider using temporary seeding, mulching, or silt fencing to prevent  or
control erosion.  Inspect the stockpiles frequently for erosion. After topsoil has  been spread,
inspect it regularly, and reseed or replace areas that have eroded.
Advantages of Permanent Seeding and Planting
• Improves the aesthetics of a site
• Provides excellent stabilization
• Provides filtering of sediments
• Provides wildlife habitat
• Is relatively inexpensive
Disadvantages of Permanent Seeding
and Planting
• May require irrigation to establish vegetation
• Depends initially on climate and weather for success

                          (Modification from County of Fairfax, 1987)
 When and Where to Use It
Sodding is appropriate for any graded or cleared area that might erode and where a permanent,
long-lived plant cover is needed immediately. Examples of where sodding can be used are buffer
zones, stream banks, dikes, swales, slopes, outlets, level spreaders, and filter strips.
 What to Consider
The soil surface should be fine-graded before laying down the sod. Topsoil may be needed in areas
where the soil textures are inadequate (see topsoil discussion in section on Permanent Seeding and
Planting). Lime and fertilizers should be added to the soil to promote good growth conditions.
Sodding can be applied in alternating strips or other patterns, or alternate areas can be seeded to
reduce expense.  Sod should not be planted during very hot or wet weather. Sod should not be
placed on slopes that are greater than 3:1 if they are to be mowed.  If placed on steep slopes, sod
should be laid with staggered joints and/or be pegged.  In areas such as steep slopes or next to

running waterways, chicken wire, jute, or other netting can be placed over the sod for extra
protection against lifting (see Mulching, Matting, and Netting). Rolled or compact immediately after
installation to ensure firm contact with the underlying topsoil.  Inspect the sod frequently after it is
first installed, especially after large storm events, until it is established as permanent cover.
Remove and replace dead sod.  Watering may be necessary after planting and during periods of
intense heat and/or lack of rain.
                                    Advantages of Sodding
     • Can provide immediate vegetative cover and erosion control

     • Provides more stabilizing protection than initial seeding through dense cover formed by sod

     • Produces lower weed growth than seeded vegetation

     • Can be placed at any time of the year as long as moisture conditions in the soil are
       favorable, except when the ground is frozen
                                   Disadvantages' of Sodding
     • Purchase and installation costs are higher than for seeding

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                              •-    Chemical Stabilization
Chemical stabilization practices, often referred to as a chemical mulch, soil binder, or soil palliative,
are temporary erosion control practices.  Materials made of vinyl, asphalt, or rubber are sprayed
onto the surface of the soil to hold the soil in place and protect against erosion from storm water
runoff and wind.  Many of the products used for chemical stabilization are human-made, and many
different products are on the market.
 When and Where to Use It
Chemical stabilization can be used as an alternative in areas where temporary seeding practices
cannot be used because of the season or climate.  It can provide immediate, effective, and
inexpensive erosion control anywhere erosion is occurring on a site.
 What to Consider
The application rates and procedures recommended by the manufacturer of a chemical stabilization
product should be followed as closely as possible to prevent the products from forming ponds and
from creating large areas where moisture cannot get through.
                             Advantages of Chemical Stabilization
       Is easily applied to the surface of the soil

       Is effective in stabilizing areas where plants will not grow

       Provides immediate protection to soils that are in danger of erosion
                            Disadvantages of Chemical Stabilization
     • Can create impervious surfaces (where water cannot get through), which may in turn
       increase the amount and speed of storm water runoff

Structural practices used in sediment and erosion control divert storm water flows away from
exposed areas, convey runoff, prevent sediments from moving off site, and can also reduce the
erosive forces of runoff waters.  The controls can either be used as permanent or temporary
measures.  Practices discussed include the following:

 Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
                              Interceptor Dikes and Swales
  What Are They
 Interceptor dikes (ridges of compacted soil) and swales (excavated depressions) are used to keep
 upslope runoff from crossing areas where there is a high risk of erosion. They reduce the amount
 and speed of flow and then guide it to a stabilized outfall (point of discharge) (see section on Outlet
 Protection) or sediment trapping area (see sections on Level Spreaders, Vegetated Filter Strips,
 Sediment Traps, and Temporary Sediment Basins). Interceptor dikes and swales divert runoff using
 a combination of earth dike and vegetated  swale.  Runoff is channeled away from locations where
 there is a high risk of erosion by placing a diversion dike or swale at the top of a sloping disturbed
 area. Dikes and swales also collect overland flow, changing it into concentrated flows (i.e., flows
 that are combined).  Interceptor dikes and swales  can be either temporary or permanent storm
 water control structures.

                           (Modified from State of Maryland, 1983)
 When and Where to Use Them
Interceptor dikes and swales are generally built around the perimeter of a construction site before
any major soil disturbing activity takes place.  Temporary dikes or swales may also be used to
protect existing buildings; areas, such as stockpiles; or other small areas that have not yet been
fully stabilized.  When constructed along the upslope perimeter of a disturbed or high-risk area
(though not necessarily all the way around it), dikes or swales prevent runoff from uphill areas from
crossing the unprotected slope.  Temporary dikes or swales constructed on the down slope side of
the disturbed or high-risk area will prevent runoff that contains sediment from leaving the site

                                          Chapter 4-Site-Specffic Industrial Storm Water BMPs
before sediment is removed. For short slopes, a dike or swale at the top of the slope reduces the
amount of runoff reaching the disturbed area.  For longer slopes, several dikes or swales are placed
across the slope at intervals. This practice reduces the amount of runoff that accumulates on the
face of the slope and carries the runoff safely down the slope. In all cases, runoff is guided to a
sediment trapping area or a stabilized outfall before release.
 What to Consider
Temporary dikes and swales are used in areas of overland flow; if they remain in place longer than
15 days, they should be stabilized. Runoff channeled by a dike or swale should be directed to an
adequate sediment trapping area or stabilized outfall.  Care should be taken to provide enough
slope for drainage but not too much slope to cause erosion due to high runoff flow speed.
Temporary interceptor dikes and swales may  remain in place as long as 12 to 18 months (with
proper stabilization) or be rebuilt at the end of each day's activities.  Dikes or swales should remain
in place until the area they were built to protect is permanently stabilized.  Interceptor dikes and
swales can be permanent controls. However, permanent controls:  should be designed to handle
runoff after construction is complete; should be permanently stabilized; and should be inspected
and maintained on  a regular basis. Temporary and permanent control measures should be
inspected once each week on a regular schedule and after every storm. Repairs necessary to the
dike and flow channel should be made promptly.
                         Advantages of Interceptor Dikes and Swales
     •  Are simple and effective for channeling runoff away from areas subject to erosion

     •  Can handle flows from large drainage areas

     •  Are inexpensive, because they use materials and equipment normally found onsite
                        Disadvantages of Interceptor Dikes and Swales
     •  If constructed improperly, can cause erosion and sediment transport since flows are

                                     Pipe Slope Drains
  What Are They
 Pipe slope drains reduce the risk of erosion by discharging runoff to stabilized areas. Made of
 flexible or rigid pipe, they carry concentrated runoff from the top to the bottom of a slope that has
 already been damaged by erosion or is at high risk for erosion. They are also used to drain
 saturated slopes that have the potential for soil slides.  Pipe slope drains can be either temporary or
 permanent depending on the method of installation and material used.

 When and Where to Use Them
Pipe slope drains are used whenever it is necessary to convey water down a slope without causing
erosion.  They are especially effective before a slope has been stabilized or before permanent
drainage structures are ready for use.  Pipe slope drains may be used with other devices, including
diversion dikes or swales, sediment traps,  and level spreaders (used to spread out storm water
runoff uniformly over the surface of the  ground). Temporary pipe slope drains,  usually flexible
tubing or conduit, may be installed prior to the construction of permanent drainage structures.
Permanent slope drains may be placed on or beneath the ground surface; pipes, sectional
downdrains, paved chutes, or clay tiles may be used.

 Paved chutes may be covered with a surface of concrete or other impenetrable material.
 Subsurface drains can be constructed of concrete, PVC, clay tile, corrugated metal, or other
 permanent material.-
  What to Consider
 The drain design should be able to handle the volume of flow. The effective life span of a
 temporary pipe slope drain is up to 30 days after permanent stabilization has been achieved. The
 maximum recommended drainage area for pipe slope drains is 10 acres (Washington State,  1992).

 The inlets and outlets of a pipe slope drain should be stabilized. This means that a flared end
 section should be used at the entrance of the pipe.  The soil around the pipe entrance should be
 fully compacted. The soil at the discharge end of the pipe should be stabilized with riprap (a
 combination of large stones,  cobbles, and boulders). The riprap should be placed along the  bottom
 of a swale which leads to a sediment trapping structure or another stabilized area.

 Pipe slope drains should be inspected on a regular schedule and after any major storm.  Be sure
 that the inlet from the pipe is properly installed to prevent bypassing the inlet and undercutting the
 structure.  If necessary, install a headwall, riprap, or sandbags around the inlet. Check the outlet
 point for erosion and  check the pipe  for breaks or clogs.  Install outlet protection if needed and
 promptly clear breaks and clogs.
Advantages of Pipe Slope Drains
• Can reduce or eliminate erosion by transporting runoff down steep
saturated soils
• Are easy to install and require little maintenance
slopes or by draining
Disadvantages of Pipe Slope Drains
• Require that the area disturbed by the installation of the drain should be stabilized or it,
too, will be subject to erosion
• May clog during a large storm

 What Are They
A subsurface drain is a perforated pipe or conduit placed beneath the surface of the ground at a
designed depth and grade.  It is used to drain an area by lowering the water table.  A high water
table can saturate soils and prevent the growth of certain types of vegetation.  Saturated soils on
slopes will sometimes "slip" down the hill.  Installing subsurface drains can help prevent these
problems.

  When and Where to Use Them
 There are two types of subsurface drains:  relief drains and interceptor drains. 'Relief drains are
 used to dewater an area where the water table is high. They may be placed in a gridiron,
 herringbone, or  random pattern.  Interceptor drains are used to remove water where sloping soils
 are excessively  wet or subject to slippage.  They are usually placed as single pipes instead of in
 patterns.  Generally, subsurface drains are suitable only in areas where the soil is deep enough for
 proper installation.  They are not recommended where they pass under heavy vehicle crossings.
  What to Consider
 Drains should be placed so that tree roots will not interfere with drainage pipes. The drain design
 should be adequate to handle the volume of flow. Areas disturbed by the installation of a drain
 should be stabilized or they, too, will be subject to erosion.  The soil layer must be deep enough to
 allow proper installation.                                  .

 Backfill immediately after the  pipe is placed.  Material used for backfill should be open granular soil
 that is highly permeable.  The outlet should be stabilized and should direct sediment-laden storm
 water runoff to a sediment trapping structure or another stabilized area.

 Inspect subsurface drains on a regular schedule and check for evidence of pipe breaks or clogging
 by sediment, debris, or tree roots. Remove blockage immediately, replace any broken sections, and
 restabilize the surface.  If the  blockage is from tree roots, it may be necessary to relocate the drain.
'Check inlets and outlets for sediment or debris.  Remove and dispose of these materials properly.
                               Advantages of Subsurface Drains
     • Provide an effective method for stabilizing wet sloping soils

     • Are an effective way to lower the water table
                              Disadvantages of Subsurface Drains
     • May be pierced and clogged by tree roots

     • Should not be installed under heavy vehicle crossings

     • Cost more than surface drains because of the expenses of excavation for installation

A silt fence, also called a "filter fence," is a temporary measure for sedimentation control. It
usually consists of posts with filter fabric stretched across the posts and sometimes with a wire
support fence.  The lower edge of the fence is vertically trenched and covered by backfill. A silt
fence is used in small drainage areas to detain sediment. These fences are most effective where
there is overland flow (runoff that flows over the surface of the ground as a thin, even layer) or in
minor swales or drainageways.  They prevent sediment from entering receiving waters.  Silt fences
are also used to catch wind blown sand and to create an anchor for sand dune creation.  Aside
from the traditional wooden post and filter fabric method, there are several variations of silt fence
installation including  silt fence which can be purchased with pockets presewn to accept use of
steel fence posts.                                                                         »

 When and Where to Use It
A silt fence should be installed prior to major soil disturbance in the drainage area. Such a
structure is only appropriate for drainage areas of 1 acre or less with velocities of 0.5 cfs or less
(Washington State, 1992). The fence should be placed across the bottom of a slope or minor
drainageway along a line of uniform elevation (perpendicular to the direction of flow). It can be
used at the outer boundary of the work area.  However, the fence does not have to surround the
                                            4-76

work area completely.  In addition, a. silt fence is effective where sheet and rill erosion may be a
problem. Silt fences should not be constructed in streams or swales.
 What to Consider
A silt fence is not appropriate for a large area or where the flow rate is greater than 0.5 cfs. This {
type of fence can be more effective than a straw bale barrier if properly installed and maintained.
It may be used  in combination with other erosion and sediment practices.

The effective life span for a silt fence is approximately 6 months.  During this period, the fence
requires frequent inspection and  prompt maintenance to maintain its effectiveness.  Inspect the
fence after each rainfall.  Check for areas where runoff eroded a channel beneath the fence, or
where the fence was caused to sag or collapse by runoff flowing over the top.  Remove and
properly dispose of sediment when it is one-third to one-half the height of the fence or after each
storm.
Advantages of a Filter Fence
• Removes sediments and prevents downstream damage from
• Reduces the speed of runoff flow
• Minimal clearing and grubbing required for installation
• Inexpensive
sediment deposits
Disadvantages of a Filter Fence
• May result in failure from improper choice of pore size in the filter fabric or improper
installation
• Should not be used in streams
• Is only appropriate for small drainage areas with overland flow
• Frequent inspection and maintenance is necessary to ensure effectiveness

                                    Straw Bale Barrier
Straw bales can be used as a temporary sediment barrier. They are placed end to end in a shallow
excavated trench {with no gaps in between) and staked into place.  If properly installed, they can
detain sediment and reduce flow velocity from small drainage areas. A straw bale barrier prevents
sediment from leaving the site by trapping the sediment in the barrier while allowing the runoff to
pass through. It can also be used to decrease the velocity of sheetflow or channel flows of low-to-
moderate levels.                                 •

                           (Modified from State of Wisconsin, 1988)
 When and Where to Use It
A straw bale barrier should be installed prior to major soil disturbance in the drainage area. This
type of barrier is placed perpendicular to the flow, across the bottom of a slope or minor
drainageway where there is sheetflow. It can be used at the perimeter of the work area, although
is does not have to surround it completely.  It can also be very effective when used in combination
with other erosion and sediment control practices. A straw bale barrier may be used where the
length of slope behind the barrier is less than 100 feet and where the slope is less than 2:1.
 What to Consider
The success of a straw bale barrier depends on proper installation. The bales must be firmly staked
into the entrenchment and the entrenchment must be properly backfilled. To function effectively,
the bales must be placed end to end and there can be no gaps between the bales.

Straw bale barriers are useful for approximately 3 months.  They must  be inspected and repaired
immediately after each rainfall or daily if there is prolonged rainfall.  Damaged straw bates require

immediate replacement. After each storm, or on a regular basis, trapped sediments must be
removed and disposed of properly.
                              Advantages of a Straw Bale Barrier
     • Can prevent downstream damage from sediment deposits if properly installed, used, and
       maintained

     • Can be an inexpensive way to reduce or prevent erosion
                             Disadvantages of a Straw Bale Barrier
     • May not be used in streams or large swales

     • Poses a risk of washouts if the barrier is installed improperly or a storm is severe

     • Has a short life span and a high inspection and maintenance requirement

     • Is appropriate for only small drainage areas

     • Is easily subject to misuse and can contribute to sediment problems

                                       Brush Barrier
A brush barrier is a temporary sediment barrier constructed from materials resulting from onsite
clearing and grubbing.  It is usually constructed at the bottom perimeter of the disturbed area.
Filter fabric is sometimes used as an anchor over the barrier to increase its filtering efficiency.
Brush barriers are used to trap and retain small amounts of sediment by intercepting the flow from
small areas of soil disturbance.
                               FIGURE 4.22 BRUSH BARRIER
                           (Modified from Washington State, 1992)
 When and Where to Use It
A brush barrier should only be used to trap sediment from runoff which is from a small drainage
area.  The slope which the brush barrier is placed across should be very gentle.  Do not place a
brush barrier in a swale or any other channel.  Brush barriers should be constructed below areas
subject to erosion.
 What to Consider
The construction of a brush barrier should be started as soon as clearing and grubbing has
produced enough material to make the structure.  Wood chips should not be included in the
material used for the barrier because of the possibility of leaching.  When the site has been
stabilized and any excess sediment has been disposed of properly, the filter fabric can be removed.
Over time, natural vegetation will establish itself within the barrier, and the barrier itself will
decompose.

You will not have to maintain the brush barrier unless there is a very large amount of sediment
being deposited. If used, the filter fabric anchor should be checked for tears and the damaged

sections replaced promptly.  The barrier should be inspected after each rainfall and checked for
areas breached by concentrated flow. If necessary, repairs should be made promptly and excess
sediment removed and disposed of properly.
                                Advantages of a Brush Barrier
     • Can help prevent downstream damage from sediment deposits

     • Is constructed of cleared onsite materials and, thus, is inexpensive

     • Usually requires little maintenance, unless there are very heavy sediment deposits
                               Disadvantages of a Brush Barrier
     • Does not replace a sediment trap or basin

     • Is appropriate for only small drainage areas

     • Has very limited sediment retention

                               Gravel or Stone Filter Berm
A gravel or stone filter berm is a temporary ridge constructed of loose gravel, stone, or crushed
rock.  It slows and filters flow, diverting it from an exposed traffic area.  Diversions constructed of
compacted soil may be used where there will be little or no construction traffic within the right-of
way.  They are also-used for directing runoff from the right-of-way to a stabilized outlet.

                       (Modified from Commonwealth of Virginia,  1980)
 When and Where to Use It
This method is appropriate where roads and other rights-of-way under construction should
accommodate vehicular traffic.  Berms are meant for use in areas with shallow slopes. They may
also be used at traffic areas within the construction site.
 What to Consider
Berm material should be well graded gravel or crushed rock. The spacing of the berms will depend
on the steepness of the slope: berms should be placed closer together as the slope increases. The
diversion should be inspected daily, after each rainfall, or if breached by construction or other
vehicles. AH needed repairs should be performed immediately. Accumulated sediment should be
removed and properly disposed of and the filter material replaced, as necessary.

                                Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Storm drain inlet protection is a filtering measure placed around any inlet or drain to trap sediment.
This mechanism prevents the sediment from entering inlet structures. Additionally, it serves to
prevent the silting-in of inlets, storm drainage systems, or receiving channels.  Inlet protection may
be composed of gravel and stone with a wire mesh filter, block and gravel, filter fabric, or sod.

 When and Where to Use It
This type of protection is appropriate for small drainage areas where storm drain inlets will be ready
for use before final stabilization.  Storm drain inlet protection is also used where a permanent storm
drain structure is being constructed onsite.  Straw bales are not recommended for this purpose.
Rlter fabric is used for inlet protection  when storm water flows are. relatively small with low
velocities.  This practice cannot be used where inlets are paved because the filter fabric should be
staked. Block and gravel filters can be used where velocities are higher. Gravel and mesh filters

                                           Chapter 4-Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 can be used where flows are higher and subject to disturbance by site traffic.  Sod inlet filters are
 generally used where sediments in the storm water runoff are low.
  What to Consider
 Storm drain inlet protection is not meant for use in drainage areas exceeding 1 acre or for large
 concentrated storm water flows. Installation of this measure should take place before any soil
 disturbance in the drainage area. The type of material used will depend on site conditions and the
 size of the drainage area. Inlet protection should be used in combination with other measures,
 such as small impoundments or sediment traps, to provide more effective sediment removal.  Inlet
 protection structures should be inspected regularly, especially after a rainstorm.  Repairs and silt
 removal should be performed as necessary.  Storm drain inlet protection structures should be
 removed only after the disturbed areas are completely stabilized.
                           Advantages of Storm Drain Inlet Protection
     • Prevents clogging of existing storm drainage systems and the siltation of receiving waters

     • Reduces the amount of sediment leaving the site
                          Disadvantages of Storm Drain Inlet Protection
     • May be difficult to remove collected sediment

     • May cause erosion elsewhere if clogging occurs

     • Is practical only for low sediment, low volume flows

                                     Sediment Trap
A sediment trap is formed by excavating a pond or by placing an earthen embankment across a low
area or drainage swale.  An outlet or spillway- is constructed using large stones or aggregate to
slow the release of runoff.  The trap retains the runoff long enough to allow most of the silt to
settle out.

                                           Chapter 4-Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
  What to Consider
 Sediment traps are suitable for small drainage areas, usually no more than 10 acres, that have no
 unusual drainage features. The trap should be large enough to allow the sediments to settle and
 should have a capacity to store the collected sediment until it is removed.  The volume of storage
 required depends upon the amount and intensity of expected rainfall and on estimated quantities of
 sediment in the storm water runoff.  Check your Permit to see if it specifies a minimum storage
 volume for sediment traps.                  ,           ;              ,

 A sediment trap is effective for approximately 18 months. During this period, the trap should be
 readily accessible for periodic maintenance and sediment removal. Traps should be inspected after
 each rainfall and cleaned when no more than half the design volume has been filled with collected
 sediment.  The trap should remain in operation and be properly maintained until.the site area is
 permanently stabilized by vegetation and/or when permanent structures are in place.
Advantages of a Sediment Trap
• Protects downstream areas from clogging or damage due to sediment deposits
• Is inexpensive and simple to install •
• Can simplify the design process by trapping sediment at specific spots onsite
Disadvantages of a Sediment Trap
• Is suitable only for a limited area
• Is effective only if properly maintained
• Will not remove very fine silts and clays
« Has a short life span .

                              -Temporary Sediment Basin
A temporary sediment basin is a settling pond with a controlled storm water release structure used
to collect and store sediment produced by construction activities.  A sediment basin can be
constructed by excavation or by placing an earthen embankment across a low area or drainage
swale. Sediment basins can be designed to maintain a permanent pool or to drain completely dry.
The basin detains sediment-laden runoff from larger drainage areas long enough to allow most of
the sediment to settle out.

The pond has a gravel outlet or spillway to slow the release of runoff and provide some sediment
filtration.  By removing sediment, the basin helps prevent clogging of offsite conveyance systems
and sediment-loading of receiving waterways. In this way, the basin helps prevent destruction of
waterway habitats.                                    .

                                           Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
  When and Where to Use It
 A temporary sediment basin should be installed before clearing and grading is undertaken.  It should
 hot be built on an embankment in an active stream.  The creation of a dam in such a site may
 result in the destruction of aquatic habitats.  Dam failure can also result in flooding. A temporary
 sediment basin should be located only where there is sufficient space and appropriate topography.
 The basin should be made large enough to handle the maximum expected amount of site drainage.
 Fencing around the basin may be necessary for safety or vandalism reasons.

 A temporary sediment basin used in combination with other control measures, such as seeding or
 mulching, is especially effective for removing sediments.
  What to Consider
 Temporary sediment basins are usually designed for disturbed areas larger than 5 acres.  The pond
 should be large enough to hold runoff long enough for sediment to settle. Sufficient space should
 be allowed for collected sediments.  Check the requirements of your permit to see if there is a
 minimum storage requirement for sediment basins.  The useful life of a temporary sediment basin is
 about 12 to 18 months.

 Sediment trapping efficiency is improved by providing the maximum surface area possible.
 Because finer silts may not settle out completely, additional erosion control measures should be
 used to minimize release of fine silt.  Runoff should enter the basin as far from the outlet as
 possible  to provide maximum retention time.

 Sediment basins should  be readily accessible for maintenance and sediment removal. They should
 be inspected after each rainfall and be cleaned out when about half the volume has been filled with
 sediment. The sediment basin should remain in operation and be properly maintained until the site
 area is permanently stabilized by vegetation and/or when permanent structures are in place. The
 embankment forming the sedimentation pool should be well compacted and stabilized with
 vegetation.  If the  pond is located near a residential area, it is recommended for safety.reasons that
 a sjgn be posted and that the area be secured by a fence.  A well  built temporary sediment basin
 that is large enough to handle the post construction runoff volume may later be converted to use
 as a permanent storm water  management structure.

                                      Outlet Protection
 Outlet protection reduces the speed of concentrated storm water flows and therefore it reduces
 erosion or scouring at storm water outlets and paved channel sections. In addition, outlet
 protection lowers the potential for downstream erosion. This type of protection can be achieved
 through a variety of techniques, including stone or riprap, concrete aprons, paved sections and
 settling basins installed below the storm drain outlet.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 When and Where to Use It
Outlet protection should be installed at all pipe, interceptor dike, swale, or channel section outlets
where the velocity of flow may cause erosion at the pipe outlet and in the receiving channel.
Outlet protection should also be used at outlets where the velocity of flow at the design capacity
may result in plunge pools (small permanent pools located at the inlet to or the outfall from BMPs).
Outlet protection should be installed early during construction activities, but may be added at any
time, as necessary.
 What to Consider
The exit velocity of the runoff as it leaves the outlet protection structure should be reduced to
levels that minimize erosion.  Outlet protection should be inspected on a regular schedule to look
for erosion and scouring.  Repairs should be made promptly.               '
Advantages of Outlet Protection
• Provides, with riprap-line apron (the most common outlet protection), a relatively
method that can be installed easily on most sites
• Removes sediment in addition to reducing flow speed
• Can be used at most outlets where the flow speed is high
• Is an inexpensive but effective measure
• Requires less maintenance than many other measures '
low cost
Disadvantages of Outlet Protection
• May be unsightly
• May cause problems in removing sediment (without removing and replacing the outlet
protection structure itself)
* May require frequent maintenance for rock outlets with high velocity flows

                                       Check Dams
   What Are They
 A check dam is a small, temporary or permanent dam constructed across a drainage ditch, swale,
 or channel to lower the speed of concentrated flows. Reduced runoff speed reduces erosion and
 gullying in the channel and allows sediments and other pollutants to settle out.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 What to Consider
Check dams should !>e used only in small open channels that drain 10 acres or less.  The dams
should not be placed in streams (unless approved by appropriate State authorities). The center   .
section of the check dam should be lower than the edges.  Dams should be spaced so that the toe
of the upstream dam is at the same elevation as the top of the downstream dam.
                                                                         t
After each significant rainfall, check dams should be inspected for sediment and debris
accumulation.  Sediment should be removed when it reaches one half the original dam height.
Check for erosion at edges and repair promptly as required.  After construction is complete, all
stone and riprap should be removed if vegetative erosion controls will be used as a permanent
erosion control measure.  It will be important to know the expected erosion rates and runoff flow
rate for the swale in which this measure is to be installed.  Contact the State/local storm water
program agency or a licensed engineer for assistance  in designing this measure.
, Advantages of Check Dams
• Are inexpensive and easy to install
• May be used permanently if designed properly
• Allow a high proportion of sediment in the runoff to settle out
• Reduce velocity and provide aeration of the water
• May be used where it is not possible to divert the flow or otherwise stabilize
the channel
Disadvantages of Check Dams
• May kill grass linings in channels if the water level remains high after it rains

                                   Surface Roughening
Surface roughening is a temporary erosion control practice.  The soil surface is roughened by the
creation of horizontal grooves, depressions, or steps that run parallel to the contour of the land.
Slopes that are not fine-graded and that are left in a roughened condition can also control erosion.
Surface roughening reduces the speed of runoff, increases infiltration, and traps sediment.  Surface
roughening also helps establish vegetative  cover by reducing runoff velocity and giving seed an
opportunity to take hold and grow.                                   .

-------
Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 When and Where to Use It
Surface roughening is appropriate for all slopes. To slow erosion, roughening should be done as
soon as possible after the vegetation has been removed from the slope. Roughening can be used
with both seeding and planting and temporary mulching to stabilize an area.  For steeper slopes and
slopes that will be left roughened for longer periods of time, a combination of surface roughening
and vegetation is appropriate.
 What to Consider
Different methods can be used to roughen the soil surface on slopes.  They include stair-step
grading, grooving (using disks, spring harrows, or teeth on a front-end loader), and tracking (driving
a crawler tractor up and down a slope, leaving the" cleat imprints,parallel to the slope contour).  The
selection of an appropriate method depends on the grade of the slope, mowing requirements after
vegetative cover is established, whether the slope was formed by cutting or filling, and type of
equipment available.

Cut slopes with a gradient steeper than 3:1 but less than  2:1 should be stair-step graded or groove
cut.  Stair-step grading works well with soils containing large amounts of small rock. Each step
catches material discarded from above and provides a level site where vegetation can grow. Stairs
should be wide enough to work with standard earth moving equipment. Grooving can be done by
any implement that can be safely operated on the slope, including those described above. Grooves
should not be less than 3 inches deep nor more than 15 inches apart.  Fill slopes with a gradient
steeper than 3:1 but less than 2:1 should be compacted every 9 inches of depth.  The face of the
slope should consist of loose, uncompacted fill 4 to 6 inches deep that can be left rough or can be
grooved as described above, if necessary.

Any  cut or filled slope that will be mowed should have a gradient less than 3:1. .Such a slope can
be roughened with shallow grooves parallel to the slope contour by using normal tilling. Grooves
should be close together (less than 10 inches) and not less than 1 inch deep.  Any gradient with a
slope greater than 2:1 should be stair-stepped.

It is important to avoid excessive compacting of the soil surface, especially when tracking, because
soil compaction inhibits vegetation growth and causes higher runoff speed. Therefore, it is best to
limit  roughening with tracked machinery to sandy soils that do not compact easily and to avoid
tracking on clay soils. Surface roughened areas should be seeded as quickly as possible.  Also,
regular inspections should be made of all surface roughened areas, especially after storms. If rills
(small watercourses that have steep sides and are usually only a few inches deep) appear, they
should be filled, graded again, and reseeded immediately.  Proper dust control procedures should be
followed when surface roughening.

  What Are They
Gradient terraces are earth embankments or ridge-and-channels constructed with suitable spacing
and with an appropriate grade.  They reduce erosion damage by capturing surface runoff and
directing it to a stable outlet at a speed that minimizes erosion.

 When and Where to Use Them
Gradient terraces are usually limited to use on land that has no vegetation and that has a water
erosion problem, or where it is anticipated that water erosion will be a problem.  Gradient terraces
should not be constructed on slopes with sandy or rocky soils.  They will be effective only where
suitable runoff outlets are or will be made available.
 What to Consider
Gradient terraces should be designed and installed according to a plan determined by an
engineering survey and layout. It is important that gradient terraces are designed with adequate
outlets, such as a grassed waterway, vegetated area, or tile outlet.  In all cases, the outlet should
direct the runoff from the terrace system to a point where the outflow will not cause erosion or
other damage. Vegetative cover should be used in the outlet where possible.  The design elevation
of the water surface of the terrace should not be lower than the design elevation of the water
surface in the outlet at their junction, when  both are  operating at design, flow. Terraces should be
inspected regularly at least once a year and  after major storms. Proper dust control procedures
should be followed while constructing these features.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
4.6  INFILTRATION PRACTICES

Infiltration practices~are surface or subsurface measures that allow for quick infiltration of storm
water runoff.  Rapid infiltration is possible because the, structures or soils used in these practices
are very porous.  Infiltration practices offer an advantage over other practices in that they provide
some treatment of runoff, preserve the natural flow in streams, and  recharge ground water.  Many
of the infiltration  practices also can reduce the velocity of the runoff so that it will not cause
damaging erosion.  Another benefit of infiltration practices is that they reduce the need for
expensive storm water conveyance systems..  Construction and maintenance of these practices
may, however, require some level of expertise to prevent clogging and to retain high effectiveness.
The infiltration practices in this section have been divided into two categories: vegetative
infiltration practices and infiltration  structures.

Infiltration BMPs  are not practical in all cases. These practices should not be  used in areas where
runoff is contaminated with pollutants other than sediment or oil and grease.  Excessively drained
(i.e., very sandy) soils may provide inadequate treatment of runoff, which could result in ground
water contamination.  Other site-specific conditions, such as depth to bedrock or depth to the
water table, could,limit their use or make it impossible to use infiltration BMPs. Also, infiltration
practices should not be installed near wells, foundations, septic tank drainfields, or on  unstable
slopes.

Vegetative infiltration practices rely on vegetated soils that are well  drained to provide storage for
the infiltration of storm water. Soils used for this practice generally have not previously  been
disturbed or compacted so that they more easily allow infiltration. Once vegetation has  been
planted, use of the area must be  limited or the practice may not operate efficiently. The practices
that are discussed include vegetated filter strips, grassed swales, and level spreaders.

Infiltration structures are built over soils to aid in collection of storm water runoff and are designed
to allow storm water to infiltrate  into the ground.  These structures  generally  require a level of
expertise for both their design and construction  so that they function properly. Maintenance
activities are very important  because  infiltration  structures are easily damaged by high sediment
loads. Often, infiltration structures are used with other structures that pretreat the storm water
runoff for sediments, oil, and grease.   These pretreatment  structures may be as simple as a buffer
zone (see Buffer Zones) or may be something  more complex, such as an oil and grease separator.
The types of infiltration structures discussed include infiltration trenches, porous pavements,
concrete grids, and modular  pavements.

                                    Vegetated Filter Strips
   What Are They
  Vegetated filter strips are gently sloping areas of natural vegetation or are graded and artificially
  planted areas used to provide infiltration, remove sediments and other pollutants, and reduce the
  flow and velocity of the storm water moving across the terrain. Vegetated filter strips function
  similarly to vegetated or grassed swales. The filter strips, however, are fairly level and treat
  sheetflow, whereas grassed swales are indentations (see section on Grassed Swales) and treat
  concentrated flows.  Vegetated filter strips provide permanent storm water control measures on a
  site.

                                (Modified from MWCOG, 1987)
  When and Where to Use Them
 Vegetated filter strips are suited for areas where the soils are well drained or moderately well
 drained and where the bedrock and the water table are well below the surface!  Vegetated filter
 strips will not function well on steep slopes, in hilly areas, or in highly paved areas because of the
 high velocity of runoff. Sites with slopes of 15 percent or more may not be suitable for filtering
 storm water flows.  However, they should still be vegetated (MWCOG, 1987). This practice can
 be put into place at any time, provided that climatic conditions allow for planting.
September 1992
      4-101

-------
Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 What to Consider
At a minimum, a filter strip must be approximately 20 feet wide to function well. The length of the
strip should be approximately 50 to 75 feet. Where slopes become steeper, the length of the strip
must be increased.  Forested strips are always preferred to vegetated strips, and existing
vegetation is preferred to planted vegetation. In planning for vegetated strips, consider climatic
conditions, since vegetation may not take hold in especially dry and/or cold regions.

Regular inspections are necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the filter strips.  Removing
sediments and replanting may be necessary on a regular basis. The entire  area should be examined
for damage due to equipment and vehicles.  Vegetation should be dense. Also, the portions of the
strip where erosion may have created ponding of runoff should be inspected. This situation can be
eliminated by grading.
                             Advantages of Vegetated Filter Strips
     • Provide low to moderate treatment of pollutants in storm water while providing a natural
       look to a site

     • Can provide habitat for wildlife

     • Can screen noise and views if trees or high shrubs are planted on the filter strips

     • Are easily constructed and implemented

                                       Grassed Swales
   What Are They
 Grassed swales are vegetated depressions used to transport, filter, and remove sediments.
 Grassed swales control high runoff rates by reducing the speed of the runoff and by reducing the
 volume of the runoff through infiltration of the storm water.  Pollutants are removed because runoff
 travels slowly and infiltrates into the soil and because the vegetation  in the grassed swale works as
 a filter or strainer.

                                .(Modified from MWCOG, 1987)
  When and Where to Use Them
Grassed swales are suitable for most areas where storm water runoff is low.  Certain factors will
affect the operation of grassed swales, including soil type, land features, and the depth of the soil
from the surface to the water table (i.e., the top of the drenched portion of the soil or bedrock
layer). The soil must be permeable for runoff to, be able to infiltrate well. Sandy soils will not hold
vegetation well nor form a stable channel structure.  Steep slopes will increase runoff rates and
create greater potential for erosion.  Storm water flows will not be easily absorbed where the water
table is  near the surface.  Swales are most useful for sites smaller than 10 acres {MWCOG, 1987).
Even without highly permeable soils, swales reduce velocity and thus are useful.

Grassed swales usually do not work well for construction runoff because the runoff has high
sediment loads.
 What to Consider
The channel of the swale should be as level as possible to maximize infiltration. Side slopes in the
swale should be designed to no steeper than 3:1 to minimize channel erosion (MWCOG, 1987).
Plans should consider (1) the use of existing topography and existing drainage patterns and (2) the

-------
Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
highest flow rate that is expected from a typical storm to determine the most practical size for the
swale (in keeping with State or local requirements).

The swale should be tilled before grass is planted, and a dense cover of grasses should be planted
in the swale.  The location of the swale will determine the best type of vegetation (e.g., if the
swale runs next to a road, then the grass chosen should be resistant to the use of de-icing salts in
northern states).

Check dams (i.e., earthen or log structures) may be installed in the swales to reduce runoff speed
and increase infiltration.  Planners should  also consider the design of the outlet at the end of the
swale so that the runoff is released from the swale at a low rate (see section on  Outlet Protection).

Maintenance activities for the swales include those practices needed to maintain healthy,  dense
vegetation  and to retain efficient infiltration and movement of the storm water into and through the
swale.  Periodic mowing, reseeding, and weed control are required to maintain pollutant removal
efficiency.  The swale and channel outlet should be kept free from sediment-buildup, litter, brush,
or fallen tree limbs.

Periodic inspections will identify erosion problems or damaged areas. Damaged or eroded areas of
the channel should be repaired. Areas with damaged vegetation should be reseeded immediately.
                                Advantages of Grassed Swales
     • Are easily designed and constructed

     • Provide moderate removal of sediments if properly constructed and maintained

     • May provide a wildlife habitat

     * Cannot control runoff from very large storms

     • If they do not drain properly between storms, can encourage nuisance problems such as
       mosquitos, ragweed, dumping, and erosion

                                      Level Spreaders
   What Are They
  Level spreaders are devices used at storm water outlets to spread out collected storm water flows
  into sheetflow (runoff that flows over ground surface in a thin, even layer).  Typically, a level
  spreader consists of a depression in the soil surface that spreads the flow onto a flat area across a
  gentle slope. Level spreaders then release the storm water flow onto level areas stabilized by
  vegetation to reduce speed and increase infiltration.

                       (Modified from Commonwealth of Virginia, 1990)
  When and Where to Use Them
Level spreaders are most often used as an outlet for temporary or permanent storm water
conveyances or dikes.  Runoff that contains high sediment loads should be treated in a sediment
trapping device prior to release into a level spreader.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 What to Consider
The length of the spreader depends upon the amount of water that flows through the conveyance.
Larger volumes of water need more space to even out.  Level spreaders are generally used with
filter strips (see Vegetated Filter Strips). The depressions are seeded with vegetation (see
Permanent Seeding).

Level spreaders should not be used on soil that might erode easily. They should be constructed on
natural soils and not on fill material.  The entrance to the spreader should be level so that the flow
can spread out evenly.

The spreader should be inspected after every large storm event to check for damage. Heavy
equipment and other traffic should be kept off the level spreader because these vehicles may
compact the soil or disturb the grade of the slope.  If ponding or erosion channels develop, the
spreader should be regraded.  Dense vegetation should  be maintained and damaged areas reseeded
as needed.
Advantages of Level Spreaders
• Reduce storm water flow velocity, encourage sedimentation and infiltration
• Are relatively inexpensive to install
Disadvantages of Level Spreaders
* Can easily develop "short circuiting" (concentration of flows into small streams
sheetflow over the spreader) because of erosion or other disturbance
• Cannot handle large quantities of sediment-laden storm water

                                      infiltration Trenches
   What Are They
  An infiltration trench usually consists of a long, narrow excavation ranging from 3 to 12 feet deep.
  The trench is filled with stone, which allows for temporary storage of storm water runoff in the
  open spaces between the stones.  The stored storm water infiltrates into the surrounding soil or
  drains into underground pipes  through holes and is then routed to an outflow point.  Infiltration
  trenches are designed to remove both fine sediments and soluble pollutants rather than larger,
  coarse pollutants.

                                 (Modified from MWCOG, 1987)
  When and Where to Use Them
 Infiltration trenches should be restricted to areas with certain soil, ground water, slope; area, and
 pollutant conditions.  For example, infiltration trenches will not operate well in soils that have high
 clay contents, silt/clay soils, sandy/clay loams, or soils that have been compacted. Trenches
 should not be sited over fill soils because such soils are unstable.  Hardened soils are often not
 suitable for infiltration trenches because these types of soils do not easily absorb water.  Infiltration
 practices in general should not be used to manage contaminated storm water.

 The drainage area contributing runoff to a single trench should  not exceed 5 acres (State of
 Maryland, 1983).  Construction of trenches should  not start until after all land-disturbing activities
 have ceased so that runoff with high levels of sediment does not fill in the structure.

 If slopes draining into the trench are steeper than 5 percent, the runoff will enter the trench too
 fast and will overwhelm the infiltration capacity of the soil, causing overflow.  The depth from the
 bottom of the trench to the bedrock layer and the seasonal, high water table must be at least three
 feet.  Infiltration trenches may not be suitable in areas where there are cold winters and deep frost
 levels.

Chapter 4—Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs
 What to Consider
Pretreatment of runoff before it is channeled to the trench is important to efficient operation
because pretreatment removes sediment, grit, and oil.  Reducing the pollutant load in the runoff
entering the trench lengthens trench life. One method  of pretreatment is to install a buffer zone
just above the trench to act as a filter (see Buffer Zones).  In addition, a layer of filter fabric 1 foot
below the bottom of the trench can be used to trap the sediments that get through the buffer strip.
If excavation around the trenches is necessary, the use of light duty equipment will avoid
compacting, which could cause a loss of infiltration capability.

Infiltration trenches should be inspected at least once per year and after major  rainfall events.
Debris should be removed from all areas of the trench,  especially the inlets and overflow channels.
Dense vegetative growth should be maintained in buffer areas surrounding the  trench.

Test wells can be installed in every trench to monitor draining times and provide information on
how well the system is operating.  Daily test well monitoring  is necessary, especially after large
storm events. If the trench does not drain after 3 days, it usually means that the trench is clogged.
                              Advantages of Infiltration Trenches
     • Preserve the natural water balance of the site

     * Are effective for small sites

     • Remove pollutants effectively
                             Disadvantages of Infiltration Trenches
     • Require high maintenance when sediment loads are heavy

     • Have short life span, especially if not maintained properly

     • May be expensive (cost of excavation and fill material)

              Porous Pavements/Concrete Grids and Modular Pavements
  What Are They
 Porous pavement, concrete grids, and modular pavements allow storm water to infiltrate so that
 the speed and amount of runoff from a site can be reduced.

 Porous Pavement-Can be either asphalt or concrete. With porous asphalt pavement, runoff
 infiltrates through a porous asphalt layer into a stone "reservoir" layer.  Storm water runoff filters
 through the stone reservoir into the underlying subsoil or drains into underground pipes through
 holes and is routed away. The bottom and sides of the stone reservoir are lined with filter fabric to
 prevent the movement of soils into the reservoir area.

 Porous Concrete Pavement-Is made out of a special concrete mix that has a high number of open
 spaces between the particles and a coarse surface texture. These open spaces allow runoff to
 pass through the surface to lower levels.  This type of pavement can be piaced directly on graded
 soils.  When a subbase is used for stability, 6 inches of sand is piaced under the concrete mixture.
 Up to 6 inches of storm  water can be held on the surface of the pavement and within the concrete.

 Concrete Grids and Modular Pavement-Are made out of precast concrete, poured-in-place
 concrete, brick, or granite.  These types of pavements can also reduce the loading and
 concentration of pollutants in the runoff.  Concrete grids and modular pavements  are designed and/
 or constructed so that they have open spaces within the pavement through which storm water can
 infiltrate into the ground. These open spaces can be filled with gravel or sand or  have vegetation
 growing out of them.
 When and Where to Use Them
These structures are usually only suitable for low-volume parking areas (1 /4 acre to 10 acres)
(State of Maryland, 1983) and lightly used access roads. However, areas that are expected to get
moderate or high volumes of traffic or heavy equipment can use conventional pavements (for the
heavy traffic areas) that are sloped to drain to areas with the porous pavements.  These pavements
are not effective in drainage areas that receive runoff containing high levels of sediment.

The soil types over which concrete grids and modular pavement are to be placed should allow for
rapid drainage through the pores in the pavement.  These pavements  are not recommended for
sites with slopes steeper than 5 percent (MWCOG, 1987) or sites with high water tables, shallow
bedrock, fill soils, or localized clay lenses, which are conditions that would limit the ability of the
runoff to infiltrate into surface soils.  For example, the water table and bedrock should be at least 3
feet below  the bottom of the stone reservoir. Porous pavement will not operate well in windy
areas where sediment will be deposited on the porous pavement.

Construction of these pavements should  be timed so that installation occurs on the site after other
construction activities are finished and the site has been stabilized. Therefore, sediments are less
likely to be  tracked or carried on to the surface.

  What to Consider
 Proper installation of these pavements requires a high level of construction expertise and
 workmanship.  Only contractors who are familiar with the installation of these pavements should be
 used.              ,                            ,

 Designers of porous pavement areas should consider sediment and erosion control.  Sediments
 must kept away from the pavement area because they can clog the pores. Controls to consider for
 sediments include a diversion berm (i.e., earthen mound) around the edge of the pavement area to
 block the flow of runoff from certain drainages onto the pavement, or other filtering controls such
 as silt fences. De-icing salt'mixtures, sands, or ash also may clog pores and should not be used for
 snow removal. Signs should be posted to prohibit these activities.

 Since the infiltration of storm water runoff may contaminate ground water sources,  these
 pavements are not suitable for areas close to drinking water wells (at least 100 feet away is
 recommended) (State of Maryland, 1983).

 Maintenance of the surface is very important.  For porous pavements, this includes vacuum
 sweeping at least four times per year followed by high-pressure hosing to reduce the chance of
 sediments clogging the pores of the top layer.  Potholes and cracks can be filled with typical
 patching mixes unless more than 10 percent of the surface area needs repair.  Spot clogging may
 be fixed by drilling half-inch holes through the porous pavement layer every few feet.

 The pavement should be inspected several times the first few  months after installation and then
 annually.  Inspections after large storms are necessary to check for pools of water.  These pools
 may indicate clogging. The condition of adjacent vegetated filter strips, silt fences,  or diversion  ,
 dikes should also be inspected.

 Concrete grids and modular pavements  should be designed in accordance with manufacturers'
 recommendations.  Designers also need information on soils, depth to the water table, and storm
 water runoff quantity  and quality.

 Maintenance  of concrete grids and modular pavements is similar to that of the porous pavements;
 however, turf maintenance such as mowing, fertilizing, and irrigation may be needed where
 vegetation is planted in the open spaces.

                    Site Assessment inspection

                        February 10, 1993


Evaluate the site for pollutants.

There are five areas where material  handling and storage activities
take place.


     •  The storage building contains tanks of corn syrup, liquid
        sugar,  and the granular cleansers.  The tanks were examined
        for possible leaks.   We found that the valve on the liquid
        sugar tank #2 was faulty and had leaked approximately 10
        gallons of liquid sugar.   Although this leak occurred on
        1/21/92, the  faulty  valve  was not discovered  until  now.
        All other tanks are  secure.  Areas around the tanks  were
        swept clean to determine if leaks or spills were prevalent.

     •  The milk  storage tanks were then  examined for  leaks or
        exposure.   Upon closer examination,  it was found that the
        number  1 tank was leaking  a small amount  of milk to the
        drainage system.  This  leak may be the reason for the high
        concentration of biochemical  oxygen  demand found  in the
        sample  taken from the storm water discharge.  The tank was
        temporarily fixed to ensure that no further contamination
        would result.  A replacement tank was ordered on February
        6, 1993, and was expected to arrive within 5 business days.
        The milk storage tanks shall be examined on a daily basis
        to further prevent possible exposure to the  storm water
        collection system and receiving stream.

     •  We inspected the' fueling station to see if there were any
        leaks.   The general  area surrounding the  fueling station
        was clean but  we observed that gasoline and motor oil falls
        during  fueling.   In accordance  with standard  operating
        conditions, facility personnel hose down the  area during
        vehicle washing and  the  drain  is connected to  the storm
        sewer.   We detected  this connection on  1/19/93 during one
        of  the  non-storm  water  discharge  assessment  visual
        inspections.   Since this discharge is not allowed under bur
        general permit,  we  are  in the process  of submitting  a
        separate permit  application specifically for the discharge
        of vehicle wash water.

     •  We examined the fueling station which is adjacent to the
        vehicle washing area.  Vehicle washing  cleaners are  used
        here and any empty or open containers were removed from the
        area.

-------
     •  We next looked at the loading and unloading docks where raw
        materials  and  various  cleansers  are  delivered.    The
        transfer of goods  from incoming  trucks to storage areas is
        a source of pollution.  Although no problems were noticed,
        the  pollution  prevention  team has  developed  a  spill
        prevention and response plan to clean up spills quickly and
        report them if necessary.

     •  The last area we inspected was the runoff field below the
        employee parking lot.  Here we noticed a significant amount
        of erosion resulting from recent construction to expand the
        parking lot.


Describe existing management practices.

Grass was  lightly planted  around the  parking  lot after  recent
construction.   The fuel  storage tank  has  curbing around  it  in
accordance  with  our  SPCC  plan.    Also,  the  maintenance  crew
regularly  picks  up trash  and empty  containers  from around the
storage tanks,  loading and unloading areas,  and the vehicle washing
areas.   Used  oils are collected  in containers and  taken  to  a
recycling  facility.    In  addition,  we  installed   two  oil/water
separators at the drains into our underground storm sewer leading
to the Rocky River.   These separators  are indicated  on  the site
map.

                     Existing Monitoring Data
Although our NPDES permit for process wastewater does not require
storm water sampling,  we sampled our storm water on one occasion in
response  to  a  questionnaire  we  received  from  the  National
Association of Ice Cream Makers.  They were collecting information
to  submit  as part  of their  comments  on EPA's  proposed general
permit.

Based upon the high concentration of BOD in the storm water samples
collected,  pollution  prevention team is  considering  possible
potential sources of BOD.  We  will  look at storage areas housing

                  Double  Scoop Ice Cream Company

                   Summary of  Pollutant Sources

                          March 5, 1993


Based on the site assessment inspection conducted on 12/1/92, the
pollution prevention  team identified  four potential  sources of
pollutants:


     •  Oil and grease stains on the pavement in the fueling area
        indicate  oil  and grease may be picked up  by  storm water
        draining  to the  storm sewer.   This area drains  into the
        storm sewer leading to the Rocky River.

     •  Sediment  and  erosion  potential  in the  field below the
        employee parking lot because of thinly planted grass.

     •  Potential for spills, or leaks  from liquid  storage tanks,
        including the fuel storage tank,  based  on a  spill that
        occurred on 1/21/92 and the leak that was detected in the
        milk storage tank.  These pollutants would drain into the
        piped outfall into the Rocky River.

     •  Use of  a  toxic cleaning agent may result  in  a pollution
        problem if handled improperly.

       Description of Storm Water Management Measures Taken
                  Based on Site Assessment Phase

                          March 5, 1993


These measures  correspond to the pollutant sources identified on
the preceding page.


Oil and grease from fueling area.                          <

We installed drip pads around the fuel pumps to pick up spilled gas
and oil during truck refueling.  These will be inspected regularly
to make sure they are working well.


Sediment and erosion in the field below the employee parking lot.

We planted grass in this area to reduce potential for erosion.


Leaks/spills from liquid storage tanks.

We are  in the process  of installing curbing  around  the outdoor
liquid storage  tanks  that will contain the volume of he largest
tank in case  a  spill should occur.  The  spill response team has
developed procedures to clean  up  this  area  should a  spill occur.
We are incorporating spill response procedures from our SPCC plan.


Toxic cleaning agent.

We have discontinued  the  use of this agent and are  replacing it
with a non-toxic cleaning agent.

                     ADDITIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION

State pollution prevention programs have people who are knowledgeable about pollution prevention
and are willing to provide information and sometimes technical assistance on pollution prevention.
The EPA has pollution prevention experts located in a number of different program offices,
laboratories, and EPA Regional offices.  These experts can provide information on starting a
pollution prevention program or on specific waste reduction  BMPs. This Appendix lists State and
Federal pollution prevention contacts above.  Trade associations are another good source of
pollution prevention information. Trade associations can often provide you with pollution
prevention assistance directly or refer you to someone who can.

A comprehensive listing of pollution prevention resources, documents, courses, and programs,
including names and phone numbers, is contained in a new annual EPA publication. Copies of this
document - Pollution Prevention Training Opportunities in 1992 — may be obtained by calling the
PPIC/PIES support number at (703) 821-4800.

One good source of information on pollution prevention is EPA's Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse (PPIC). PPIC contains technical, policy, programmatic, legislative, and financial
information on pollution prevention efforts in the United States and abroad. The PPIC may be
reached by personal computer modem, telephone hotline, or mail.  The PIES, or Pollution Prevention
Information Exchange System, is a free 24-hour electronic bulletin board consisting of message
centers, technical data bases, issue-specific "mini-exchanges," and a calendar of pollution
prevention events. The PIES allows a user to access the full range of infirmation in the PPIC.  For
information on how to use the  PPIC/PIES, call (703) 821-4800. To log on to the PIES system using
a modem and a PC, call (703) 506-1025 (set your communication software at 8 bits and no
parity).

EPA and State programs have developed manuals and fact sheets containing specific pollution
prevention information.  These manuals and fact sheets listed below can be ordered free of charge
by calling the EPA Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse at (703) 821-4800.

                                         SILT FENCE
                                       September 1992
Design Criteria
    A Silt fences are appropriate at the following general locations:

      A Immediately upstream of the point(s) of runoff discharge  from a site before flow; becomes
         concentrated (maximum design flow rate should not exceed 0.5 cubic feet per second).
      A Below disturbed areas where runoff may occur in the form of overland flow.
                                               r   '       -.          '     t           '-   .   '
    A Ponding should not be allowed behind silt fences since they will collapse under high pressure; the
      design should provide sufficient outlets to prevent overtopping.
    A The drainage area should not exceed 0.25 acre per 100 feet of fence length.
    A For slopes between 50:1 and 5:1, the maximum allowable upstream flow path length to the fence
      is 100 feet; for slopes of 2:1 and steeper, the maximum is 20 feet.
    A The maximum upsiope grade perpendicular to the fence line should not exceed 1:1.
    A Synthetic silt fences should be designed for 6 months of service; burlap is only acceptable for
      periods of up to 60 days.                                          .
    A Synthetic filter fabric should be a pervious sheet of polypropylene, nylon, polyester, or polyethylene
      yarn conforming to the requirements in Table 1 below.
                     TABLE 1. SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Physical Property
Filtering Efficiency
Tensile Strength at 20%

Requirements
75% - 85% (minimum)
Standard Strength - 30 Ib/linear inch (minimum)
Extra Strength - 50 Ib/linear inch
(minimum)
0.3 gal/ft2/min (minimum)
      Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum
      of 6 months of expected usable, construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 120°F.
      Burlap of 10 ounces per square yard of fabric can also be used.
      The filter fabric should be purchased in a continuous roll to avoid joints.
      While not required, wire fencing  may be used as a backing to reinforce standard strength filter
      fabric. The wire fence (14 gauge minimum) should be at 22-48  inches wide and should have a
      maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches.
      Posts should be 2-4 feet long and should be composed of either 2" x 2-4"  pine (or equivalent) or
      1.00 to 1.33 Ib/linear ft steel. Steel posts should have projections for fastening wire and fabric to
      them.
Construction Specifications
      The maximum height of the filter fence should range between 18 and 36 inches above the ground
      surface (depending on the amount of upsiope ponding expected).
                                             E-1

-------
                                          SILT FENCE
      Posts should be spaced 8 to 10 feet apart when a .wire mesh support fence is used and no more
      than 6 feet apart when extra strength filter fabric {without a wire fence) is used. The posts should
      extend 12 to-30 inches into the ground.
      A trench should be excavated 4 to 8 inches wide and 4 to 12 inches deep along the upslope side
      of the line of posts.                         ;
      If standard strength filter fabric is to be used, the optional wire mesh support fence may be fastened
      to the upslope side of the posts  using 1  inch heavy duty wire staples, tie wires, or hog rings.
      Extend the wire mesh support to the bottom of the trench. The filter fabric should then be stapled
      or wired to the fence, and 8 to 20 inches of the fabric should extend into the trench (Figure 1).
      Extra strength filter fabric does not require a wire mesh support fence.  Staple or wire the filter
      fabric directly to the posts and extend 8 to 20 inches of the fabric into the trench (Figure 1).
      Where joints in the fabric are required, the filter cloth should be spliced together only at a support
      post, with a minimum 6-inch overlap, and securely sealed.
      Do not attach filter fabric to trees.
      Backfill the trench with compacted soil or 0.75 inch minimum diameter gravel placed over the filter
      fabric.
Maintenance
      Inspect filter fences daily during periods of prolonged rainfall, immediately after each rainfall event,
      and weekly during periods of no rainfall.  Make any required repairs immediately.
      Sediment must be removed when it reaches one-third to one-half the height of the filter fence.  Take
      care to avoid damaging the fence during cleanout.
      Filter fences should not be removed until the upslope area has been permanently stabilized. Any
      sediment deposits remaining in place after the filter fence has been removed should be dressed to
      conform  with the existing  grade, prepared, and seeded.
   A  Silt fence installation costs approximately $6.00 per linear foot.

                                        September 1992
 Design Criteria
    A  Pipe Slope Drains (PSD) are appropriate in the following general locations:

       A  On cut or fill slopes before permanent storm water drainage structures have been installed.
       A  Where earth dikes or other diversion measures have been used to concentrate flows.
       A  On any slope where concentrated runoff crossing the face  of the slope may cause gullies,
          channel erosion, of saturation of slide-prone soils.
       A  As an outlet for a natural drainageway.

    A  The drainage area may  be up to 10 acres; however,  many jurisdictions  consider 5  acres the
       recommended maximum.
    A  The PSD design should handle the peak runoff for the 10-year storm. Typical relationships between
       area and pipe diameter are shown in Table 2 below.

      Pipe may be heavy duty flexible tubing designed for this purpose, e.g., nonperforated, corrugated
      plastic pipe, corrugated metal pipe, bituminous fiber pipe, or specially designed flexible tubing.
      A standard flared  end section secured with a watertight fitting should be use for the inlet.  A
      standard T-section fitting may also be used.
      Extension  collars should  be 12-inch long sections of corrugated pipe.   All fittings must  be
      watertight.
Construction Specifications
      Place the pipe slope drain on undisturbed or well-compacted soil.
      Soil around and under the entrance section must be hand-tamped in 4-inch to 8-inch lifts to the top
      of the dike to prevent piping failure around the inlet.
      Place filter cloth under the inlet and extend 5 feet in front of the inlet and be keyed in 6-inches on
      all sides to prevent erosion.  A 6-inch metal toe plate may also be used for this purpose.
      Ensure firm contact between the pipe and the soil at all points fay backfilling around and under the
      pipe with stable soil material hand compacted in lifts of 4-inches to 8-inches.
      Securely stake the PSD to the slope using grommets provided for this purpose at intervals of 10 feet
      or less.
      Ensure that all slope drain sections are securely fastened together and have watertight fittings.
                                              E-3

-------
                                      PIPE SLOPE DRAIN
      Extend the pipe beyond the toe of the slope and discharge at a nonerosive velocity into a stabilized
      area (e.g., rock outlet protection may be used) or to a sedimentation trap or pond.
      The PSD should have a minimum slope of 3 percent or steeper.
      The height at the centerline of the earth dike should range from a minimum of 1.0 foot ove'r the pipe
      to twice the diameter of the pipe measured from the invert of the pipe.  It should also be at least
      6 inches higher than the adjoining  ridge on  either side.
      At no point along the dike will the elevation  of the top of the dike be less than 6 inches higher than
      the top of the pipe.
      Immediately stabilize all areas disturbed by  installation or removal of the PSD.
Maintenance
   A  Inspect regularly and after every storm. Make any necessary repairs.
   A  Check to see that water is not bypassing the inlet and undercutting the inlet or pipe. If necessary,
      install headwall or sandbags.
   A  Check for erosion at the outlet point and check the pipe for breaks or clogs. Install additional outlet
      protection if needed and immediately repair the breaks and clean any clogs.
   A  Do not allow construction traffic to cross the PSD and do not place any material on it.
   A  If a sediment trap has been provided, clean it out when the sediment level reaches 1 /3 to 112 the
      design volume.
   A  The PSD should remain in place until the slope has been completely stabilized or up to 30 days after
      permanent slope stabilization.
   A Pipe slope drain costs are generally based upon the pipe type and size (generally, flexible PVC at
      $5.00 per linear foot).  Also adding to this cost are any expenses associated with inlet and outlet
      structures.

                               FILTER FABRIC INLET PROTECTION
                                        September 1992
Design Criteria
    A  Inlet protection is appropriate in the following locations;

       A In small drainage areas (less than 1 acre) where the storm drain inlet is functional before the
         drainage area  has been permanently stabilized.
       A Where there is danger of sediment  silting in an inlet which is in place prior to permanent
         stabilization.

    A  Filter fabric inlet  protection is appropriate for most types of inlets where the drainage area is one
       acre or less.                                        .
    A  The drainage area  should be fairly  flat with  slopes of 5% or less and the area immediately
       surrounding the inlet should not exceed a slope of 1 %.
    A  Overland flow to the inlet should be no greater than 0.5 cfs.
    A  This type of inlet protection is not appropriate for use in paved areas because the filter fabric
       requires staking.
    A  To avoid failure caused by pressure against the fabric when overtopping occurs, it is recommended
       that "the height of the filter fabric be limited to 1.5 feet above the crest of the drop inlet.
    A  It is recommended that a sediment trapping sump of 1 to ,2 feet in depth with side slopes of 2:1 be
       provided.
    A Filter fabric (see the fabric specifications for silt fence).
    A Wooden stakes 2" x 2" or 2"x 4" with a minimum length of 3 feet.
    A Heavy-duty wire staples at least % inch in length. ,
    A Washed gravel % inches in diameter.
Construction Specifications
      Place a stake at each corner of the inlet and around the edges at no more than 3 feet apart.  Stakes
      should be, driven into the ground 18 inches or at a minimum 8 inches.                         .
      For stability a framework of wood strips should be installed around the stakes at the crest of the
      overflow area 1.5 feet above the crest of the drop inlet.
      Excavate a trench of 8 inches to 12 inches in depth around the outside perimeter of the stakes.  If
      a sediment trapping sump is being provided then the excavation may be as deep as 2 feet.
      Staple the filter fabric to the wooden stakes with heavy-duty staples, overlapping the joints to the
      next stake.  Ensure that between 12 inches to 32 inches of filter fabric extends at the bottom so
      it can be formed into the trench.        „
      Place the bottom of the fabric in the trench and backfill the trench all the way around using washed
      gravel to a minimum depth of 4 inches.

   A  If the filter fabric becomes clogged it should be replaced immediately.
   A  Make sure that the stakes are firmly in the ground and that.the filter fabric continues to be securely
      anchored.
   A  All sediments removed should be properly disposed.
   A  Inlet protection should remain in place and operational until the drainage area is completely stabilized
      or up to 30 days after the permanent site stabilization is achieved.
    A The cost of storm drain inlet protection varies dependent upon the size and type of inlet to be
      protected but generally is about $300.00 per inlet.

Design Criteria
    A  Inlet protection is appropriate in the following locations:

       A ,ln small drainage areas (less than 1 acre)  where the storm drain inlet is functional before the
         drainage area has been permanently stabilized.
       A Where there is danger of sediment  silting in an inlet which is in place prior to permanent
         stabilization.
       A Where ponding around the inlet structure could be a problem to traffic on site.

    A  Excavated gravel and mesh inlet protection may be used with most inlets where overflow capability
       is needed and in areas of heavy flows, 0.5 cfs or greater.
    A  The 'drainage area should not exceed 1 acre.
    A  The drainage area should be fairly flat with slopes of 5% or less.
    A  The trap should have a sediment trapping sump of 1 to 2 feet measured from the crest of the inlet.
     .  Side slopes should be 2:1. The recommended volume of excavation is 35 yd3/acre disturbed.
    A  To achieve maximum trapping efficiency the longest  dimension of the basin  should be oriented
       toward the longest inflow area.
    A  Hardware cloth or wire mesh with % inch openings.
    A  Filter fabric (see the fabric specifications for silt fence).
    A  Washed gravel % inches to 4 inches in diameter.
Construction Specifications
      Remove any obstructions to excavating and grading.   Excavate sump area, grade slopes and
      properly dispose of soil.
      The inlet grate should be secured to prevent seepage of sediment laden water.
      Place wire mesh over the drop inlet so that the wire extends a minimum of 1 foot beyond each side
      of the inlet structure. Overlap the strips of mesh if more than one is necessary.
      Place filter fabric over the mesh extending it at least 18 inches beyond the inlet opening on all sides.
      Ensure that weep holes in the inlet structure are protected by filter fabric and gravel.
      Place stone/gravel over the fabric/wire mesh to a depth of at least 1 foot.

                            BLOCK AND GRAVEL INLET PROTECTION
                                        September 1992
Design Criteria
    A Inlet protection is appropriate in the following locations:

      A  In drainage areas (less than 1 acre) where the storm drain inlet is functional before the drainage
         area has been permanently stabilized.
      A  Where there is danger of sediment silting in an  inlet which is in place prior to  permanent
         stabilization.

    A Block and gravel inlet protection may be used with most types of inlets where overflow capability
      is needed and in areas of heavy flows 0.5 cfs or greater.
    A The drainage area should not exceed 1 acre.
    A The drainage area should be fairly flat with slopes of 5% or less.
    A To achieve  maximum trapping efficiency the longest dimension of the basin should be oriented
      toward the longest inflow area.
    A Where possible the trap should have sediment trapping sump of 1 to 2 feet in depth with side slopes
      of 2:1.
    A There are several other types of inlet protection also used to prevent siltation of storm drainage
      systems and structures during construction, they are:

      A  Filter Fabric Inlet Protection
      ,A  Excavated Gravel Inlet Protection                                             '      .
      Hardware cloth or wire mesh with % inch openings
      Filter fabric (see the fabric specifications for silt fence)
      Concrete block 4 inches to 12 inches wide.
      Washed gravel % inches to 4 inches in diameter
Construction Specifications
   A  The inlet grate should be secured to prevent seepage of sediment laden water.
   A  Place wire mesh over the drop inlet so that the wire extends a minimum of 12 inches to 18 inches
      beyond each side of the inlet structure. Overlap the strips of mesh if more than one is necessary.
   A  Place filter fabric (optional) over the mesh  and extend it at least 18 inches beyond the inlet
      structure.
   A  Place concrete blocks over the filter fabric in a single row lengthwise on their sides along the sides
      of the inlet. The foundation should be excavated a minimum of 2 inches below the crest of the inlet
      and the bottom row of blocks should be against the edge of the structure for lateral support.
   A  The open ends of the block should face outward not upward and the ends of adjacent blocks should
      abut. Lay one block on each side of the structure on its side to allow for dewatering of the pool.
   A  The block barrier should be at least  12 inches high and may be up to a maximum of 24 inches high
      and may  be from 4  inches to 12 inches in depth depending on the size of block used.   .
   A  Prior to backfilling, place wire mesh over the outside vertical end of the blocks so that stone does
      not wash down the inlet.
   A  Place gravel against the wire mesh to the top of the blocks.

Maintenance  |

   A  Inspect regularly and after every storm.  Make any repairs necessary to ensure the measure is in
      good working order.
   A  Sediment should be removed and the trap restored to its original dimensions when sediment has
      accumulated to % the design depth of the trap.
   A  All sediments removed should be properly disposed of.
   A  Inlet protection should remain in place and operational until the drainage area is completely stabilized
      or up to 30 days after the permanent site stabilization is achieved.
   A  The cost of- storm drain inlet protection varies dependent upon the size and type of inlet to be
      protected but generally is about $300.00 per inlet.

                                TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAP
                                      September 1992
Design Criteria
      Temporary sediment traps are appropriate in the following locations:

      A  At the outlet of the perimeter controls installed during the first stage of construction.
      A  At the outlet of any structure which concentrates sediment-laden runoff, e.g. at the discharge
         point of diversions, channels, slope drains, or other runoff conveyances.
      A  Above a storm water inlet that is in line to receive sediment-laden runoff.

      Temporary sediment traps may be constructed by excavation alone or by excavation in combination
      with an embankment.
      Temporary sediment traps are often used in conjunction with a diversion dike or swale.
      The drainage area for the sediment trap should not exceed 5 disturbed acres.
      The trap must be accessible for ease of regular maintenance which  is critical to its functioning
      properly.
      Sediment traps are temporary measures and should not be planned to remain in place longer than
      between 18 and 24 months.                                            .
      The capacity of the sedimentation  pool should provide storage volume for 3,600 cubic feet/acre
      drainage area.                                                           .
      The outlet should be designed to provide a 2 foot settling depth and an additional sediment storage
      area  1 % feet deep at the bottom of the trap.
      The embankment may not. exceed 5 feet in height.
      The recommended minimum width  at the top of the embankment is between 2 feet and 5 feet.
      The minimum recommended length of the weir is between 3 feet and 4 feet, and the maximum is
      12 feet in length.
      Table 5 illustrates the typical relationship between the embankment height, the height of the outlet
      (H0),  and the .width (W) at the top of the embankment.

                                TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAP
Construction Specifications
      Clear the area of all trees, brush, stumps or other obstructions.
      Construct the embankment in 8 inch lifts compacting each lift with the appropriate earth moving
      equipment. Fill material must be free of woody vegetation, roots, or large stones.
      Keep cut and fill slopes between 3:1 and 2:1 or flatter.
      Line the outlet area with filter fabric prior to placing stone or gravel.
      Construct the gravel outlet using heavy stones between 6 inches and 14 inches in diameter and face
      the upstream side with a 12 inch layer of % inch to 1 % inch washed gravel on the upstream side.
      Seed and mulch the embankment as soon as possible to ensure stabilization.
Maintenance
      Inspect regularly and after every storm.  Make any repairs necessary to ensure the measure is in
      good working order.
      Frequent removal of sediment is critical to the functioning of this measure. At a minimum sediment
      should be  removed and the trap restored to its original volume when sediment reaches % of the
      original volume.
      Sediment removed from the trap must be properly disposed.
      Check  the  embankment  regularly   to   make  sure   it  is   structurally   sound.
   A  Costs for a sediment trap vary widely based upon their size and the amount of excavation and stone
      required, they usually can be installed for $500 to $7,000.

TESTS FOR NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES

                                                                                Appendix F
                       TESTS FOR NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGES

DYE TESTING

Dye testing can be used to establish positively if certain facilities or fixtures are connected to a
storm water collection system. The dye is simply introduced into the suspected waste stream, and
storm water outfalls are examined for detections of the dye. Specially manufactured dyes are
available for this type of testing.  Check with your local sewer authority before conducting this
test—dyes can be toxic and thus harmful to the municipal sewage treatment plant


Equipment

Two types of safe and harmless but effective dyes are available for dye testing. Powder in cans or
containers is measured by a spoon or small dipper.  Tablets of the dye are slower to dissolve than
the powder form, but are less messy and are sometimes more  desirable than the powder for this
reason.  The dye is the only piece of equipment needed.  Regardless of the type of dye, dissolve it
in the flow.  A tablet may sink into a sump or wet well and riot circulate with the usual flow.

CAUTION:  Some dyes may leave a stain if spilled.  These stains can be very difficult to remove.

Contact the  water pollution control agency to determine if there are any regulations regarding the
use of dyes.                   .


Operation

While one operator applies the dye to the suspected location, another operator maintains a watch
at the next downstream manhole from the location.

    • Where a plumbing fixture is used, such as a water closet bowl or basin, the water is turned
      on and the dye  powder or tablet is dropped directly into the drain.

    • Where there is no immediate supply of water, such as a roof gutter or storm drain in dry
      weather, pouring a bucket of water with the dye powder is suggested. The amount of
      water and dye needed depends on the distance to the next manhole and the existing flow.

    • Based on the assumed velocity of flow,  an estimate may be made of the expected flow time
      to the downstream manhole.  Allow plenty of time because the dye often takes  much longer
      than expected.

    • Use of powdered dye can be difficult and messy on a windy day. When the  wind blows,
      either pre-mix the dye in water or enclose a quantity of the powder dye in either tissue or
      toilet paper. Wind can scatter a powdered dye, the dye is impossible to collect.  The dye
      may land on the property of nearby residents and businesses, and when wet, cause stains
      on buildings, autos, clothes, and landscaping.

    • When a number of dye tests are to be conducted on the same line or section of a sewer
      system, the dye testing should start at the facility farthest downstream  and progressively
      work upstream for the other dye tests.  Otherwise, if you dye the facilities upstream first,
      the flow is then contaminated with dye, and you then must wait several hours or until  the
      next day to conduct additional tests.

    • When tests are  completed, record whether or not the service is connected to the sewer.

 'A discharger is not subject to the  monitoring requirements provided  the discharger makes a
 certification  for  a given outfall, on an annual basis, under penalty of law, that material handling
 equipment or activities, raw materials, intermediate products, final products, waste materials,  by-
 products, industrial machinery or operations, significant materials from past industrial activities, or, in
 the case of  airports, deicing activities, that are located, in areas of the facility that are within  the
 drainage area of the outfall are not presently exposed to storm water and will not be exposed to storm
 water for the certification period.

 2A discharger may, in lieu of monitoring for  acute whole effluent toxicity,  monitor for pollutants
 identified in  Tables  II  and III of Appendix D of 40  CFR Part 122 that the discharger knows or  has
 reason to believe are present at the facility site. Such determinations are to be based on reasonable
 best efforts to identify significant quantities of materials or chemical present at the facility.
