David.pittman@acaciareg.com Telephone: (949) 640-9995 Permit/Application Number(s): WQMP21-XXXXXX Tract/Parcel Map Number(s): Additional Information/ Comments: n/a Description of Project: The project site encompasses approximately 19.00 acres. Proposed improvements to the site includes two light industrial warehouse type buildings with loading docks. The loading dock of the southerly building (Building 1) will be located to the southerly side of the building, and the loading dock of the northerly building (Building 2) will be located to the westerly side of the building. Trailer parking will be located along the southerly property line, and vehicle parking will be located along the northerly, easterly, and westerly edges of Building 1, and along the northerly, southerly, and westerly sides of Building 2. The remainder of the site will be reserved for landscaping. The project proposes three underground retention facilities for infiltration, as well as three hydrodynamic separators for pretreatment. As shown in Worksheet H of Attachment B, the design infiltration rate for these systems is 12.5 in/hr which can drawdown up to 300.0 inches of stormwater within 24 hours, while the effective ponding depth is 100.8 inches. With this justification, the project’s design capture volume is determined using the 1.582 regression constant for 24 hours. The first underground retention facility (CMP “A”) will be located in the truck yard of Building 1. The second underground retention facility (CMP “B”) will be located in the northerly vehicle parking lot of Building 1. The third underground retention facility (CMP “C”) will be located in the truck yard of Building 2. Approximately 0.30 acres of landscape and driveway areas will drain offsite without being routed to the onsite BMPs for treatment. Of the 0.30 acres, 0.25 acres will consist of landscape and 0.05 acres of driveway. The driveway area will be accounted for in the underground retention system (CMP “A”) even though they do not physically drain there. Offsite run on will be collected by inlets on the north side of Building 1. This will connect directly to a new storm drain system dedicated to collecting offsite flows and does not route to the onsite BMPs. This storm drain ultimately connects to the proposed public storm drain at the northwesterly corner of Building 1. The project also proposes street improvements, however, they consist of less than ½ mile and therefore not required to treat any public improvements per Appendix A of the San Bernardino Technical Guidance Document.

Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Sierra Gateway Acacia Real Estate Group, Inc. 4-7 4.2 Project Performance Criteria The purpose of this section of the Project WQMP is to establish targets for post development hydrology based on performance criteria specified in the MS4 Permit. These targets include runoff volume for water quality control (referred to as LID design capture volume), and runoff volume, time of concentration, and peak runoff for protection of any downstream waterbody segments with a HCOC. If the project has more than one outlet for stormwater runoff, then complete additional versions of these forms for each DA / outlet. Methods applied in the following forms include: • For LID BMP Design Capture Volume (DCV), the San Bernardino County Stormwater Program requires use of the P6 method (MS4 Permit Section XI.D.6a.ii) – Form 4.2-1 • For HCOC pre- and post-development hydrologic calculation, the San Bernardino County Stormwater Program requires the use of the Rational Method (San Bernardino County Hydrology Manual Section D). Forms 4.2-2 through Form 4.2-5 calculate hydrologic variables including runoff volume, time of concentration, and peak runoff from the project site pre- and post-development using the Hydrology Manual Rational Method approach. For projects greater than 640 acres (1.0 mi2), the Rational Method and these forms should not be used. For such projects, the Unit Hydrograph Method (San Bernardino County Hydrology Manual Section E) shall be applied for hydrologic calculations for HCOC performance criteria. Refer to Section 4 in the TGD for WQMP for detailed guidance and instructions.

For the LID DCV, the forms are ordered according to hierarchy of BMP selection as required by the MS4 Permit (see Section 5.3.1 in the TGD for WQMP). The forms compute the following for on-site LID BMP: • Site Design and Hydrologic Source Controls (Form 4.3-2) • Retention and Infiltration (Form 4.3-3) • Harvested and Use (Form 4.3-4) or • Biotreatment (Form 4.3-5). At the end of each form, additional fields facilitate the determination of the extent of mitigation provided by the specific BMP category, allowing for use of the next category of BMP in the hierarchy, if necessary. The first step in the analysis, using Section 5.3.2.1 of the TGD for WQMP, is to complete Forms 4.3-1 and 4.3-3) to determine if retention and infiltration BMPs are infeasible for the project. For each feasibility criterion in Form 4.3-1, if the answer is “Yes,” provide all study findings that includes relevant calculations, maps, data sources, etc. used to make the determination of infeasibility. Next, complete Forms 4.3-2 and 4.3-4 to determine the feasibility of applicable HSC and harvest and use BMPs, and, if their implementation is feasible, the extent of mitigation of the DCV. If no site constraints exist that would limit the type of BMP to be implemented in a DA, evaluate the use of combinations of LID BMPs, including all applicable HSC BMPs to maximize on-site retention of the DCV. If no combination of BMP can mitigate the entire DCV, implement the single BMP type, or combination of BMP types, that maximizes on-site retention of the DCV within the minimum effective area. If the combination of LID HSC, retention and infiltration, and harvest and use BMPs are unable to mitigate the entire DCV, then biotreatment BMPs may be implemented by the project proponent. If biotreatment BMPs are used, then they must be sized to provide sufficient capacity for effective treatment of the remainder of the volume-based performance criteria that cannot be achieved with LID BMPs (TGD for WQMP Section 5.4.4.2). Under no circumstances shall any portion of the DCV be released from the site without effective mitigation and/or treatment.

If Yes, Provide basis: (attach) 3 Would infiltration of runoff on a Project site violate downstream water rights? Yes No If Yes, Provide basis: (attach) 4 Is proposed infiltration facility located on hydrologic soil group (HSG) D soils or does the site geotechnical investigation indicate presence of soil characteristics, which support categorization as D soils? Yes No If Yes, Provide basis: (attach) 5 Is the design infiltration rate, after accounting for safety factor of 2.0, below proposed facility less than 0.3 in/hr (accounting for soil amendments)? Yes No If Yes, Provide basis: (attach) 6 Would on-site infiltration or reduction of runoff over pre-developed conditions be partially or fully inconsistent with watershed management strategies as defined in the WAP, or impair beneficial uses? Yes No See Section 3.5 of the TGD for WQMP and WAP If Yes, Provide basis: (attach) 7 Any answer from Item 1 through Item 3 is “Yes”: Yes No If yes, infiltration of any volume is not feasible onsite. Proceed to Form 4.3-4, Harvest and Use BMP. If no, then proceed to Item 9 below. 8 Any answer from Item 4 through Item 6 is “Yes”: Yes No If yes, infiltration is permissible but is not required to be considered. Proceed to Form 4.3-2, Hydrologic Source Control BMP. If no, then proceed to Item 9, below. 9 All answers to Item 1 through Item 6 are “No”: Yes No Infiltration of the full DCV is potentially feasible, LID infiltration BMP must be designed to infiltrate the full DCV to the MEP. Proceed to Form 4.3-2, Hydrologic Source Control BMP. Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Sierra Gateway Acacia Real Estate Group, Inc. 4-16 4.3.1 Site Design Hydrologic Source Control BMP Section XI.E. of the Permit emphasizes the use of LID preventative measures; and the use of LID HSC BMPs reduces the portion of the DCV that must be addressed in downstream BMPs. Therefore, all applicable HSC shall be provided except where they are mutually exclusive with each other, or with other BMPs. Mutual exclusivity may result from overlapping BMP footprints such that either would be potentially feasible by itself, but both could not be implemented. Please note that while there are no numeric standards regarding the use of HSC, if a project cannot feasibly meet BMP sizing requirements or cannot fully address HCOCs, feasibility of all applicable HSC must be part of demonstrating that the BMP system has been designed to retain the maximum feasible portion of the DCV. Complete Form 4.3- 2 to identify and calculate estimated retention volume from implementing site design HSC BMP. Refer to Section 5.4.1 in the TGD for more detailed guidance.

Volume retention estimates are sensitive to the percolation rate used, which determines the amount of runoff that can be infiltrated within the specified drawdown time. The infiltration safety factor reduces field measured percolation to account for potential inaccuracy associated with field measurements, declining BMP performance over time, and compaction during construction. Appendix D of the TGD for WQMP provides guidance on estimating an appropriate safety factor to use in Form 4.3-3. If site constraints limit the use of BMPs to a single type and implementation of retention and infiltration BMPs mitigate no more than 40% of the DCV, then they are considered infeasible and the Project Proponent may evaluate the effectiveness of BMPs lower in the LID hierarchy of use (Section 5.5.1 of the TGD for WQMP) If implementation of infiltrations BMPs is feasible as determined using Form 4.3-1, then LID infiltration BMPs shall be implemented to the MEP (section 4.1 of the TGD for WQMP).

Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Sierra Gateway Acacia Real Estate Group, Inc. 4-22 4.3.3 Harvest and Use BMP Harvest and use BMP may be considered if the full LID DCV cannot be met by maximizing infiltration BMPs. Use Form 4.3-4 to compute on-site retention of runoff from proposed harvest and use BMPs. Volume retention estimates for harvest and use BMPs are sensitive to the on-site demand for captured stormwater. Since irrigation water demand is low in the wet season, when most rainfall events occur in San Bernardino County, the volume of water that can be used within a specified drawdown period is relatively low. The bottom portion of Form 4.3-4 facilitates the necessary computations to show infeasibility if a minimum incremental benefit of 40 percent of the LID DCV would not be achievable with MEP implementation of on-site harvest and use of stormwater (Section 5.5.4 of the TGD for WQMP).

If no, then re-evaluate combinations of all LID BMP and optimize their implementation such that the maximum portion of the DCV is retained on-site (using a single BMP type or combination of BMP types). If the full DCV cannot be mitigated after this optimization process, proceed to Section 4.3.4. Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Sierra Gateway Acacia Real Estate Group, Inc. 4-23 4.3.4 Biotreatment BMP Biotreatment BMPs may be considered if the full LID DCV cannot be met by maximizing retention and infiltration, and harvest and use BMPs. A key consideration when using biotreatment BMP is the effectiveness of the proposed BMP in addressing the pollutants of concern for the project (see Table 5-5 of the TGD for WQMP). Use Form 4.3-5 to summarize the potential for volume based and/or flow based biotreatment options to biotreat the remaining unmet LID DCV. Biotreatment computations are included as follows: • Use Form 4.3-6 to compute biotreatment in small volume based biotreatment BMP (e.g. bioretention w/underdrains); • Use Form 4.3-7 to compute biotreatment in large volume based biotreatment BMP (e.g. constructed wetlands); • Use Form 4.3-8 to compute sizing criteria for flow-based biotreatment BMP (e.g. bioswales) Form 4.3-5 Selection and Evaluation of Biotreatment BMP 1 Remaining LID DCV not met by site design HSC, infiltration, or harvest and use BMP for potential biotreatment (ft3): Form 4.2-1 Item 7 – Form 4.3-2 Item 30 – Form 4.3-3 Item 16- Form 4.3-4 Item 9 List pollutants of concern Copy from Form 2.3-1 2 Biotreatment BMP Selected (Select biotreatment BMP(s) necessary to ensure all pollutants of concern are addressed through Unit Operations and Processes, described in Table 5-5 of the TGD for WQMP) Volume-based biotreatment Use Forms 4.3-6 and 4.3-7 to compute treated volume Flow-based biotreatment Use Form 4.3-8 to compute treated volume  Bioretention with underdrain  Planter box with underdrain  Constructed wetlands  Wet extended detention  Dry extended detention  Vegetated swale  Vegetated filter strip  Proprietary biotreatment 3 Volume biotreated in volume based biotreatment BMP (ft3): Form 4.3-6 Item 15 + Form 4.3-7 Item 13 4 Compute remaining LID DCV with implementation of volume based biotreatment BMP (ft3): Item 1 – Item 3 5 Remaining fraction of LID DCV for sizing flow based biotreatment BMP: % Item 4 / Item 1 6 Flow-based biotreatment BMP capacity provided (cfs): Use Figure 5-2 of the TGD for WQMP to determine flow capacity required to provide biotreatment of remaining percentage of unmet LID DCV (Item 5), for the project’s precipitation zone (Form 3-1 Item 1) 7 Metrics for MEP determination:  Provided a WQMP with the portion of site area used for suite of LID BMP equal to minimum thresholds in Table 5-7 of the TGD for WQMP for the proposed category of development: If maximized on-site retention BMPs is feasible for partial capture, then LID BMP implementation must be optimized to retain and infiltrate the maximum portion of the DCV possible within the prescribed minimum effective area. The remaining portion of the DCV shall then be mitigated using biotreatment BMP.

Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Sierra Gateway Acacia Real Estate Group, Inc. 4-31 4.4 Alternative Compliance Plan (if applicable) Describe an alternative compliance plan (if applicable) for projects not fully able to infiltrate, harvest and use, or biotreat the DCV via on-site LID practices. A project proponent must develop an alternative compliance plan to address the remainder of the LID DCV. Depending on project type some projects may qualify for water quality credits that can be applied to reduce the DCV that must be treated prior to development of an alternative compliance plan (see Form 2.4-1, Water Quality Credits). Form 4.3-9 Item 8 includes instructions on how to apply water quality credits when computing the DCV that must be met through alternative compliance. Alternative compliance plans may include one or more of the following elements: • On-site structural treatment control BMP - All treatment control BMP should be located as close to possible to the pollutant sources and should not be located within receiving waters; • Off-site structural treatment control BMP - Pollutant removal should occur prior to discharge of runoff to receiving waters; • Urban runoff fund or In-lieu program, if available Depending upon the proposed alternative compliance plan, approval by the executive officer may or may not be required (see Section 6 of the TGD for WQMP).

The rate at which the system collects pollutants will depend more heavily on site activities than the size or configuration of the system. Inspection Inspection is the key to effective maintenance and is easily performed. CONTECH recommends ongoing quarterly inspections of the accumulated sediment. Sediment deposition and transport may vary from year to year and quarterly inspections will help insure that systems are cleaned out at the appropriate time. Inspections should be performed more often in the winter months in climates where sanding operations may lead to rapid accumulations, or in equipment washdown areas. It is very useful to keep a record of each inspection. A sample inspection log is included for your use. Systems should be cleaned when inspection reveals that accumulated sediment or trash is clogging the discharge orifice. CONTECH suggests that all systems be designed with an access/inspection manhole situated at or near the inlet and the outlet orifice. Should it be necessary to get inside the system to perform maintenance activities, all appropriate precautions regarding confined space entry and OSHA regulations should be followed. Cleaning Maintaining an underground detention or retention system is easiest when there is no flow entering the system. For this reason, it is a good idea to schedule the cleanout during dry weather. Accumulated sediment and trash can typically be evacuated through the manhole over the outlet orifice. If maintenance is not performed as recommended, sediment and trash may accumulate in front of the outlet orifice. Manhole covers should be securely seated following cleaning activities. 2 3 Inspection & Maintenance Log Sample Template __________” Diameter System Location: Anywhere, USA Date Depth of Sediment Accumulated Trash Maintenance Performed Maintenance Personnel Comments 12/01/10 2”None Removed Sediment B.

The rate at which the system collects pollutants will depend more heavily on site activities than the size of the unit. For example, unstable soils or heavy winter sanding will cause the grit chamber to fill more quickly but regular sweeping of paved surfaces will slow accumulation. Inspection Inspection is the key to effective maintenance and is easily performed. Pollutant transport and deposition may vary from year to year and regular inspections will help ensure that the system is cleaned out at the appropriate time. At a minimum, inspections should be performed twice per year (e.g. spring and fall) however more frequent inspections may be necessary in climates where winter sanding operations may lead to rapid accumulations, or in equipment washdown areas. Installations should also be inspected more frequently where excessive amounts of trash are expected. The visual inspection should ascertain that the system components are in working order and that there are no blockages or obstructions in the inlet and separation screen. The inspection should also quantify the accumulation of hydrocarbons, trash, and sediment in the system. Measuring pollutant accumulation can be done with a calibrated dipstick, tape measure or other measuring instrument. If absorbent material is used for enhanced removal of hydrocarbons, the level of discoloration of the sorbent material should also be identified during inspection. It is useful and often required as part of an operating permit to keep a record of each inspection. A simple form for doing so is provided. Access to the CDS unit is typically achieved through two manhole access covers. One opening allows for inspection and cleanout of the separation chamber (cylinder and screen) and isolated sump. The other allows for inspection and cleanout of sediment captured and retained outside the screen. For deep units, a single manhole access point would allows both sump cleanout and access outside the screen. The CDS system should be cleaned when the level of sediment has reached 75% of capacity in the isolated sump or when an appreciable level of hydrocarbons and trash has accumulated. If absorbent material is used, it should be replaced when significant discoloration has occurred. Performance will not be impacted until 100% of the sump capacity is exceeded however it is recommended that the system be cleaned prior to that for easier removal of sediment. The level of sediment is easily determined by measuring from finished grade down to the top of the sediment pile. To avoid underestimating the level of sediment in the chamber, the measuring device must be lowered to the top of the sediment pile carefully. Particles at the top of the pile typically offer less resistance to the end of the rod than consolidated particles toward the bottom of the pile. Once this measurement is recorded, it should be compared to the as-built drawing for the unit to determine weather the height of the sediment pile off the bottom of the sump floor exceeds 75% of the total height of isolated sump. Cleaning Cleaning of a CDS systems should be done during dry weather conditions when no flow is entering the system. The use of a vacuum truck is generally the most effective and convenient method of removing pollutants from the system. Simply remove the manhole covers and insert the vacuum hose into the sump. The system should be completely drained down and the sump fully evacuated of sediment. The area outside the screen should also be cleaned out if pollutant build-up exists in this area. In installations where the risk of petroleum spills is small, liquid contaminants may not accumulate as quickly as sediment. However, the system should be cleaned out immediately in the event of an oil or gasoline spill should be cleaned out immediately. Motor oil and other hydrocarbons that accumulate on a more routine basis should be removed when an appreciable layer has been captured. To remove these pollutants, it may be preferable to use absorbent pads since they are usually less expensive to dispose than the oil/water emulsion that may be created by vacuuming the oily layer. Trash and debris can be netted out to separate it from the other pollutants. The screen should be power washed to ensure it is free of trash and debris. Manhole covers should be securely seated following cleaning activities to prevent leakage of runoff into the system from above and also to ensure that proper safety precautions have been followed. Confined space entry procedures need to be followed if physical access is required. Disposal of all material removed from the CDS system should be done in accordance with local regulations. In many jurisdictions, disposal of the sediments may be handled in the same manner as the disposal of sediments removed from catch basins or deep sump manholes.

The water depth to sediment is determined by taking two measurements with a stadia rod: one measurement from the manhole opening to the top of the sediment pile and the other from the manhole opening to the water surface. If the difference between these measurements is less than the values listed in table 1 the system should be cleaned out. Note: to avoid underestimating the volume of sediment in the chamber, the measuring device must be carefully lowered to the top of the sediment pile. 2.

Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Non-stormwater discharges (NSWDs) are flows that do not consist entirely of stormwater. Some non-stormwater discharges do not include pollutants and may be discharged to the storm drain if local regulations allow. These include uncontaminated groundwater and natural springs. There are also some non- stormwater discharges that typically do not contain pollutants and may be discharged to the storm drain with conditions. These include: potable water sources, fire hydrant flushing, air conditioner condensate, landscape irrigation drainage and landscape watering, emergency firefighting, etc. as discussed in Section 2. However there are certain non-stormwater discharges that pose an environmental concern. These discharges may originate from illegal dumping of industrial material or wastes and illegal connections such as internal floor drains, appliances, industrial processes, sinks, and toilets that are illegally connected to the nearby storm drainage system through on-site drainage and piping. These unauthorized discharges (examples of which may include: process waste waters, cooling waters, wash waters, and sanitary wastewater) can carry substances such as paint, oil, fuel and other automotive fluids, chemicals and other pollutants into storm drains. Non-stormwater discharges will need to be addressed through a combination of detection and elimination. The ultimate goal is to effectively eliminate unauthorized non-stormwater discharges to the stormwater drainage system through implementation of measures to detect, correct, and enforce against illicit connections and illegal discharges of Objectives  Cover  Contain  Educate  Reduce/Minimize  Product Substitution Targeted Constituents Sediment Nutrients  Trash Metals  Bacteria  Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping  Preventative Maintenance Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  Material Handling & Waste Management Erosion and Sediment Controls Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping  Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org pollutants on streets and into the storm drain system and downstream water bodies. Approach Initially the Discharger must make an assessment of non-stormwater discharges to determine which types must be eliminated or addressed through BMPs. The focus of the following approach is the elimination of unauthorized non-stormwater discharges. See other BMP Fact Sheets for activity-specific pollution prevention procedures. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Implement waste management controls described in SC-34 Waste Handling and Disposal.  Develop clear protocols and lines of communication for effectively prohibiting non- stormwater discharges, especially those that are not classified as hazardous. These are often not responded to as effectively as they need to be.  Stencil or demarcate storm drains, where applicable, to prevent illegal disposal of pollutants. Storm drain inlets should have messages such as “Dump No Waste Drains to Stream” or similar stenciled or demarcated next to them to warn against ignorant or unintentional dumping of pollutants into the storm drainage system.  Manage and control sources of water such as hose bibs, faucets, wash racks, irrigation heads, etc. Identify hoses and faucets in the SWPPP, and post signage for appropriate use. Non-Stormwater Discharge Investigation Protocols Identifying the sources of non-stormwater discharges requires the Discharger to conduct an investigation of the facility at regular intervals. There are several categories of non- stormwater discharges:  Visible, easily identifiable discharges, typically generated as surface runoff, such as uncontained surface runoff from vehicle or equipment washing; and  Non-visible, (e.g., subsurface) discharges into the site drainage system through a variety of pathways that are not obvious. The approach to detecting and eliminating non-stormwater discharges will vary considerably, as discussed below: Visible and identifiable discharges  Conduct routine inspections of the facilities and of each major activity area and identify visible evidence of unauthorized non-stormwater discharges. This may include:  Visual observations of actual discharges occurring; Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Evidence of surface staining, discoloring etc. that indicates that discharges have occurred;  Pools of water in low lying areas when a rain event has not occurred; and  Discussions with operations personnel to understand practices that may lead to unauthorized discharges.  If evidence of non-stormwater discharges is discovered:  Document the location and circumstances using Worksheets 5 and 6 (Section 2 of the manual), including digital photos;  Identify and implement any quick remedy or corrective action (e.g., moving uncovered containers inside or to a proper location); and  Develop a plan to eliminate the discharge. Consult the appropriate activity- specific BMP Fact Sheet for alternative approaches to manage and eliminate the discharge.  Consult the appropriate activity-specific BMP Fact Sheet for alternative approaches to manage and eliminate the discharge. Make sure the facility SWPPP is up-to-date and includes applicable BMPs to address the non-stormwater discharge. Other Illegal Discharges (Non visible) Illicit Connections  Locate discharges from the industrial storm drainage system to the municipal storm drain system through review of “as-built” piping schematics.  Isolate problem areas and plug illicit discharge points.  Locate and evaluate discharges to the storm drain system.  Visual Inspection and Inventory:  Inventory and inspect each discharge point during dry weather.  Keep in mind that drainage from a storm event can continue for a day or two following the end of a storm and groundwater may infiltrate the underground stormwater collection system.  Non-stormwater discharges are often intermittent and may require periodic inspections. Review Infield Piping  A review of the “as-built” piping schematic is a way to determine if there are any connections to the stormwater collection system. Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Inspect the path of loading/unloading area drain inlets and floor drains in older buildings.  Never assume storm drains are connected to the sanitary sewer system. Monitoring for investigation/detection of illegal discharges  If a suspected illegal or unknown discharge is detected, monitoring of the discharge may help identify the content and/or suggest the source. This may be done with a field screening analysis, flow meter measurements, or by collecting a sample for laboratory analysis. Section 5 and Appendix D describe the necessary field equipment and procedures for field investigations.  Investigative monitoring may be conducted over time. For example if, a discharge is intermittent, then monitoring might be conducted to determine the timing of the discharge to determine the source.  Investigative monitoring may be conducted over a spatial area. For example, if a discharge is observed in a pipe, then monitoring might be conducted at accessible upstream locations in order to pinpoint the source of the discharge.  Generally, investigative monitoring requiring collection of samples and submittal for lab analysis requires proper planning and specially trained staff. Smoke Testing Smoke testing of wastewater and stormwater collection systems is used to detect connections between the two piping systems. Smoke testing is generally performed at a downstream location and the smoke is forced upstream using blowers to create positive pressure. The advantage to smoke testing is that it can potentially identify multiple potential discharge sources at once.  Smoke testing uses a harmless, non-toxic smoke cartridges developed specifically for this purpose.  Smoke testing requires specialized equipment (e.g., cartridges, blowers) and is generally only appropriate for specially trained staff.  A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for smoke testing is highly desirable. The SOP should address the following elements:  Proper planning and notification of nearby residents and emergency services is necessary since introducing smoke into the system may result in false alarms;  During dry weather, the stormwater collection system is filled with smoke and then traced back to sources; Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Temporary isolation of segments of pipe using sand bags is often needed to force the smoke into leaking pipes; and  The appearance of smoke in a waste vent pipe, at a sewer manhole, or even the base of a toilet indicates that there may be a connection between the sanitary and storm water systems.  Most municipal wastewater agencies will have necessary staff and equipment to conduct smoke testing and they should be contacted if cross connections with the sanitary sewer are suspected. See SC-44 Drainage System Maintenance for more information. Dye Testing  Dye testing is typically performed when there is a suspected specific pollutant source and location (i.e., leaking sanitary sewer) and there is evidence of dry weather flows in the stormwater collection system.  Dye is released at a probable upstream source location, either the facility’s sanitary or process wastewater system. The dye must be released with a sufficient volume of water to flush the system.  Operators then visually examine the downstream discharge points from the stormwater collection system for the presence of the dye.  Dye testing can be performed informally using commercially available products in order to conduct an initial investigation for fairly obvious cross-connections.  More detailed dye testing should be performed by properly trained staff and follow SOPs. Specialized equipment such as fluorometers may be necessary to detect low concentrations of dye.  Most municipal wastewater agencies will have necessary staff and equipment to conduct dye testing and they should be contacted if cross connections with the sanitary sewer are suspected. TV Inspection of Drainage System  Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) can be employed to visually identify illicit connections to the industrial storm drainage system. Two types of CCTV systems are available: (1) a small specially designed camera that can be manually pushed on a stiff cable through storm drains to observe the interior of the piping, or (2) a larger remote operated video camera on treads or wheels that can be guided through storm drains to view the interior of the pipe.  CCTV systems often include a high-pressure water jet and camera on a flexible cable. The water jet cleans debris and biofilm off the inside of pipes so the camera can take video images of the pipe condition. Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 6 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  CCTV units can detect large cracks and other defects such as offsets in pipe ends caused by root intrusions or shifting substrate.  CCTV can also be used to detect dye introduced into the sanitary sewer.  CCTV inspections require specialized equipment and properly trained staff and are generally best left to specialized contractors or municipal public works staff. Illegal Dumping  Substances illegally dumped on streets and into the storm drain systems and creeks may include paints, used oil and other automotive fluids, construction debris, chemicals, fresh concrete, leaves, grass clippings, and pet wastes. These wastes can cause stormwater and receiving water quality problems as well as clog the storm drain system itself.  Establish a system for tracking incidents. The system should be designed to identify the following:  Illegal dumping hot spots;  Types and quantities (in some cases) of wastes;  Patterns in time of occurrence (time of day/night, month, or year);  Mode of dumping (abandoned containers, “midnight dumping” from moving vehicles, direct dumping of materials, accidents/spills);  An anonymous tip/reporting mechanism; and  Evidence of responsible parties (e.g., tagging, encampments, etc.).  One of the keys to success of reducing or eliminating illegal dumping is increasing the number of people at the facility who are aware of the problem and who have the tools to at least identify the incident, if not correct it. Therefore, train field staff to recognize and report the incidents. Once a site has been cleaned:  Post “No Dumping” signs with a phone number for reporting dumping and disposal.  Landscaping and beautification efforts of hot spots may also discourage future dumping, as well as provide open space and increase property values.  Lighting or barriers may also be needed to discourage future dumping.  See fact sheet SC-11 Spill Prevention, Control, and Cleanup. Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 7 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Inspection  Regularly inspect and clean up hot spots and other storm drainage areas where illegal dumping and disposal occurs.  Conduct field investigations of the industrial storm drain system for potential sources of non-stormwater discharges.  Pro-actively conduct investigations of high priority areas. Based on historical data, prioritize specific geographic areas and/or incident type for pro-active investigations. Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  On paved surfaces, clean up spills with as little water as possible. Use a rag for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent material for larger spills. If the spilled material is hazardous, then the used cleanup materials are also hazardous and must be sent to a certified laundry (rags) or disposed of as hazardous waste.  Never hose down or bury dry material spills. Sweep up the material and dispose of properly.  Use adsorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down the spill. Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.  For larger spills, a private spill cleanup company or Hazmat team may be necessary.  See SC-11 Spill Prevention Control and Cleanup. Employee Training Program  Training of technical staff in identifying and documenting illegal dumping incidents is required. The frequency of training must be presented in the SWPPP, and depends on site-specific industrial materials and activities.  Consider posting a quick reference table near storm drains to reinforce training.  Train employees to identify non-stormwater discharges and report discharges to the appropriate departments.  Educate employees about spill prevention and cleanup.  Well-trained employees can reduce human errors that lead to accidental releases or spills. The employee should have the tools and knowledge to immediately begin cleaning up a spill should one occur. Employees should be familiar with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan. Employees should be able to identify work/jobs with high potential for spills and suggest methods to reduce possibility.  Determine and implement appropriate outreach efforts to reduce non-permissible non-stormwater discharges. Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 8 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Conduct spill response drills annually (if no events occurred) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.  When a responsible party is identified, educate the party on the impacts of his or her actions. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping Performance Evaluation  Annually review internal investigation results; assess whether goals were met and what changes or improvements are necessary.  Obtain feedback from personnel assigned to respond to, or inspect for, illicit connections and illegal dumping incidents.  Develop document and data management procedures.  A database is useful for defining and tracking the magnitude and location of the problem.  Report prohibited non-stormwater discharges observed during the course of normal daily activities so they can be investigated, contained, and cleaned up or eliminated.  Document that non-stormwater discharges have been eliminated by recording tests performed, methods used, dates of testing, and any on-site drainage points observed.  Annually document and report the results of the program.  Maintain documentation of illicit connection and illegal dumping incidents, including significant conditionally exempt discharges that are not properly managed.  Document training activities. Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Some facilities may have space constraints, limited staffing and time limitations that may preclude implementation of BMPs. Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds.”  Many facilities do not have accurate, up-to-date ‘as-built’ plans or drawings which may be necessary in order to conduct non-stormwater discharge assessments.  Online tools such as Google Earth™ can provide an aerial view of the facility and may be useful in understanding drainage patterns and potential sources of non- stormwater discharges  Local municipal jurisdictions may have useful drainage systems maps. Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 9 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Video surveillance cameras are commonly used to secure the perimeter of industrial facilities against break-ins and theft. These surveillance systems may also be useful for capturing illegal dumping activities. Minor, temporary adjustments to the field of view of existing surveillance camera systems to target known or suspected problem areas may be a cost-effective way of capturing illegal dumping activities and identifying the perpetrators. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Capital facility cost requirements may be minimal unless cross-connections to storm drains are detected.  Indoor floor drains may require re-plumbing if cross-connections are detected.  Leaky sanitary sewers will require repair or replacement which can have significant costs depending on the size and industrial activity at the facility. Maintenance (including administrative and staffing)  The primary effort is for staff time and depends on how aggressively a program is implemented.  Costs for containment, and disposal of any leak or discharge is borne by the Discharger.  Illicit connections can be difficult to locate especially if there is groundwater infiltration.  Illegal dumping and illicit connection violations requires technical staff to detect and investigate them. Supplemental Information Permit Requirements The IGP authorizes certain Non-Storm Water Discharges (NSWDs) provided BMPs are included in the SWPPP and implemented to:  Reduce or prevent the contact of authorized NSWDs with materials or equipment that are potential sources of pollutants;  Reduce, to the extent practicable, the flow or volume of authorized NSWDs;  Ensure that authorized NSWDs do not contain quantities of pollutants that cause or contribute to an exceedance of a water quality standards (WQS); and, Non-Stormwater Discharges SC-10 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 10 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Reduce or prevent discharges of pollutants in authorized NSWDs in a manner that reflects best industry practice considering technological availability and economic practicability and achievability.” References and Resources Center for Watershed Protection, 2004.

Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Many activities that occur at an industrial or commercial site have the potential to cause accidental spills. Preparation for accidental spills, with proper training and reporting systems implemented, can minimize the discharge of pollutants to the environment. Spills and leaks are one of the largest contributors of stormwater pollutants. Spill prevention and control plans are applicable to any site at which hazardous materials are stored or used. An effective plan should have spill prevention and response procedures that identify hazardous material storage areas, specify material handling procedures, describe spill response procedures, and provide locations of spill clean-up equipment and materials. The plan should take steps to identify and characterize potential spills, eliminate and reduce spill potential, respond to spills when they occur in an effort to prevent pollutants from entering the stormwater drainage system, and train personnel to prevent and control future spills. An adequate supply of spill clean- up materials must be maintained onsite. Approach General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems.  Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures.  Establish procedures and/or controls to minimize spills and leaks. The procedures should address:  Description of the facility, owner and address, activities, chemicals, and quantities present; Objectives  Cover  Contain  Educate  Reduce/Minimize  Product Substitution Targeted Constituents Sediment Nutrients Trash Metals  Bacteria Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping Preventative Maintenance Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  Material Handling & Waste Management Erosion and Sediment Controls Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping  Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Facility map of the locations of industrial materials;  Notification and evacuation procedures;  Cleanup instructions;  Identification of responsible departments; and  Identify key spill response personnel.  Recycle, reclaim, or reuse materials whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of process materials that are brought into the facility. Spill and Leak Prevention and Response Spill Prevention  Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems. Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures.  If illegal dumping is observed at the facility:  Post “No Dumping” signs with a phone number for reporting illegal dumping and disposal. Signs should also indicate fines and penalties applicable for illegal dumping.  Landscaping and beautification efforts may also discourage illegal dumping.  Bright lighting and/or entrance barriers may also be needed to discourage illegal dumping.  Store and contain liquid materials in such a manner that if the container is ruptured, the contents will not discharge, flow, or be washed into the storm drainage system, surface waters, or groundwater.  If the liquid is oil, gas, or other material that separates from and floats on water, install a spill control device (such as a tee section) in the catch basins that collects runoff from the storage tank area. Preventative Maintenance  Place drip pans or absorbent materials beneath all mounted taps, and at all potential drip and spill locations during filling and unloading of tanks. Any collected liquids or soiled absorbent materials must be reused/recycled or properly disposed.  Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near the tank storage area; and ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Sweep and clean the storage area monthly if it is paved, do not hose down the area to a storm drain.  Check tanks (and any containment sumps) daily for leaks and spills. Replace tanks that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating with tanks in good condition. Collect all spilled liquids and properly dispose of them.  Label all containers according to their contents (e.g., solvent, gasoline).  Label hazardous substances regarding the potential hazard (corrosive, radioactive, flammable, explosive, poisonous).  Prominently display required labels on transported hazardous and toxic materials (per US DOT regulations).  Identify key spill response personnel. Spill Response  Clean up leaks and spills immediately.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible (e.g., near storage and maintenance areas).  On paved surfaces, clean up spills with as little water as possible.  Use a rag for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent material for larger spills.  If the spilled material is hazardous, then the used cleanup materials are also hazardous and must be sent to a certified laundry (rags) or disposed of as hazardous waste.  If possible use physical methods for the cleanup of dry chemicals (e.g., brooms, shovels, sweepers, or vacuums).  Never hose down or bury dry material spills. Sweep up the material and dispose of properly.  Chemical cleanups of material can be achieved with the use of adsorbents, gels, and foams. Use adsorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down the spill. Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.  For larger spills, a private spill cleanup company or Hazmat team may be necessary. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Reporting  Report spills that pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment to the Regional Water Quality Control Board or local authority as location regulations dictate.  Federal regulations require that any oil spill into a water body or onto an adjoining shoreline be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at 800-424-8802 (24 hour).  Report spills to 911 for dispatch and clean-up assistance when needed. Do not contact fire agencies directly.  Establish a system for tracking incidents. The system should be designed to identify the following:  Types and quantities (in some cases) of wastes;  Patterns in time of occurrence (time of day/night, month, or year);  Mode of dumping (abandoned containers, “midnight dumping” from moving vehicles, direct dumping of materials, accidents/spills);  Clean-up procedures; and  Responsible parties. Employee Training Program  Educate employees about spill prevention and cleanup.  Well-trained employees can reduce human errors that lead to accidental releases or spills:  The employee should have the tools and knowledge to immediately begin cleaning up a spill should one occur; and  Employees should be familiar with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.  Employees should be educated about aboveground storage tank requirements. Employees responsible for aboveground storage tanks and liquid transfers should be thoroughly familiar with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan and the plan should be readily available.  Train employees to recognize and report illegal dumping incidents. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Other Considerations (Limitations and Regulations)  State regulations exist for facilities with a storage capacity of 10,000 gallons or more of petroleum to prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan (Health & Safety Code Chapter 6.67).  State regulations also exist for storage of hazardous materials (Health & Safety Code Chapter 6.95), including the preparation of area and business plans for emergency response to the releases or threatened releases.  Consider requiring smaller secondary containment areas (less than 200 sq. ft.) to be connected to the sanitary sewer, prohibiting any hard connections to the storm drain. Requirements Costs (including capital and operation & maintenance)  Will vary depending on the size of the facility and the necessary controls.  Prevention of leaks and spills is inexpensive. Treatment and/or disposal of contaminated soil or water can be quite expensive. Maintenance (including administrative and staffing)  Develop spill prevention and control plan, provide and document training, conduct inspections of material storage areas, and supply spill kits.  Extra time is needed to properly handle and dispose of spills, which results in increased labor costs. Supplemental Information Further Detail of the BMP Reporting Record keeping and internal reporting represent good operating practices because they can increase the efficiency of the facility and the effectiveness of BMPs. A good record keeping system helps the facility minimize incident recurrence, correctly respond with appropriate cleanup activities, and comply with legal requirements. A record keeping and reporting system should be set up for documenting spills, leaks, and other discharges, including discharges of hazardous substances in reportable quantities. Incident records describe the quality and quantity of non-stormwater discharges to the storm sewer. These records should contain the following information:  Date and time of the incident;  Weather conditions;  Duration of the spill/leak/discharge; Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 6 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Cause of the spill/leak/discharge;  Response procedures implemented;  Persons notified; and  Environmental problems associated with the spill/leak/discharge. Separate record keeping systems should be established to document housekeeping and preventive maintenance inspections, and training activities. All housekeeping and preventive maintenance inspections should be documented. Inspection documentation should contain the following information:  Date and time the inspection was performed;  Name of the inspector;  Items inspected;  Problems noted;  Corrective action required; and  Date corrective action was taken. Other means to document and record inspection results are field notes, timed and dated photographs, videotapes, and drawings and maps. Aboveground Tank Leak and Spill Control Accidental releases of materials from aboveground liquid storage tanks present the potential for contaminating stormwater with many different pollutants. Materials spilled, leaked, or lost from tanks may accumulate in soils or on impervious surfaces and be carried away by stormwater runoff. The most common causes of unintentional releases are:  Installation problems;  Failure of piping systems (pipes, pumps, flanges, couplings, hoses, and valves);  External corrosion and structural failure;  Spills and overfills due to operator error; and  Leaks during pumping of liquids or gases from truck or rail car to a storage tank or vice versa. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 7 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Storage of reactive, ignitable, or flammable liquids should comply with the Uniform Fire Code and the National Electric Code. Practices listed below should be employed to enhance the code requirements:  Tanks should be placed in a designated area.  Tanks located in areas where firearms are discharged should be encapsulated in concrete or the equivalent.  Designated areas should be impervious and paved with Portland cement concrete, free of cracks and gaps, in order to contain leaks and spills.  Liquid materials should be stored in UL approved double walled tanks or surrounded by a curb or dike to provide the volume to contain 10 percent of the volume of all of the containers or 110 percent of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. The area inside the curb should slope to a drain.  For used oil or dangerous waste, a dead-end sump should be installed in the drain.  All other liquids should be drained to the sanitary sewer if available. The drain must have a positive control such as a lock, valve, or plug to prevent release of contaminated liquids.  Accumulated stormwater in petroleum storage areas should be passed through an oil/water separator. Maintenance is critical to preventing leaks and spills. Conduct routine inspections and:  Check for external corrosion and structural failure.  Check for spills and overfills due to operator error.  Check for failure of piping system (pipes, pumps, flanges, coupling, hoses, and valves).  Check for leaks or spills during pumping of liquids or gases from truck or rail car to a storage facility or vice versa.  Visually inspect new tank or container installation for loose fittings, poor welding, and improper or poorly fitted gaskets.  Inspect tank foundations, connections, coatings, and tank walls and piping system. Look for corrosion, leaks, cracks, scratches, and other physical damage that may weaken the tank or container system.  Frequently relocate accumulated stormwater during the wet season. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 8 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Periodically conduct integrity testing by a qualified professional. Vehicle Leak and Spill Control Major spills on roadways and other public areas are generally handled by highly trained Hazmat teams from local fire departments or environmental health departments. The measures listed below pertain to leaks and smaller spills at vehicle maintenance shops. In addition to implementing the spill prevention, control, and clean up practices above, use the following measures related to specific activities: Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance  Perform all vehicle fluid removal or changing inside or under cover to prevent the run-on of stormwater and the runoff of spills.  Regularly inspect vehicles and equipment for leaks, and repair immediately.  Check incoming vehicles and equipment (including delivery trucks, and employee and subcontractor vehicles) for leaking oil and fluids. Do not allow leaking vehicles or equipment onsite.  Always use secondary containment, such as a drain pan or drop cloth, to catch spills or leaks when removing or changing fluids.  Immediately drain all fluids from wrecked vehicles.  Store wrecked vehicles or damaged equipment under cover.  Place drip pans or absorbent materials under heavy equipment when not in use.  Use absorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down the spill.  Remove the adsorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly.  Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums. Don’t leave full drip pans or other open containers lying around.  Oil filters disposed of in trashcans or dumpsters can leak oil and contaminate stormwater. Place the oil filter in a funnel over a waste oil recycling drum to drain excess oil before disposal. Oil filters can also be recycled. Ask your oil supplier or recycler about recycling oil filters.  Store cracked batteries in a non-leaking 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. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 9 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Vehicle and Equipment Fueling  Design the fueling area to prevent the run-on of stormwater and the runoff of spills: Cover fueling area if possible. Use a perimeter drain or slope pavement inward with drainage to a sump. Pave fueling area with concrete rather than asphalt.  If dead-end sump is not used to collect spills, install an oil/water separator.  Install vapor recovery nozzles to help control drips as well as air pollution.  Discourage “topping-off’ of fuel tanks.  Use secondary containment when transferring fuel from the tank truck to the fuel tank.  Use absorbent materials on small spills and general cleaning rather than hosing down the area. Remove the absorbent materials promptly.  Carry out all Federal and State requirements regarding underground storage tanks, or install above ground tanks.  Do not use mobile fueling of mobile industrial equipment around the facility; rather, transport the equipment to designated fueling areas.  Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.  Train employees in proper fueling and cleanup procedures. Industrial Spill Prevention Response For the purposes of developing a spill prevention and response program to meet the stormwater regulations, facility managers should use information provided in this fact sheet and the spill prevention/response portions of the fact sheets in this handbook, for specific activities. The program should:  Integrate with existing emergency response/hazardous materials programs (e.g., Fire Department).  Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems.  Identify responsible departments. Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup SC-11 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 10 of 10 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Develop and standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures.  Address spills at municipal facilities, as well as public areas.  Provide training concerning spill prevention, response and cleanup to all appropriate personnel.

Outdoor Loading/Unloading SC-30 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description The loading/unloading of materials usually takes place outside on docks or terminals; therefore, materials spilled, leaked, or lost during loading/unloading may collect in the soil or on other surfaces and have the potential to be carried away by wind, stormwater runoff or when the area is cleaned. Additionally, rainfall may wash pollutants from machinery used to unload or move materials. Implementation of the following protocols will prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from outdoor loading/unloading of materials. Approach Reduce potential for pollutant discharge through source control pollution prevention and BMP implementation. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Park tank trucks or delivery vehicles in designated areas so that spills or leaks can be contained.  Limit exposure of material to rainfall whenever possible.  Prevent stormwater run-on.  Check equipment regularly for leaks. Good Housekeeping  Develop an operations plan that describes procedures for loading and/or unloading.  Conduct loading and unloading in dry weather if possible. Objectives  Cover  Contain  Educate  Reduce/Minimize  Product Substitution Targeted Constituents Sediment  Nutrients  Trash Metals  Bacteria Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping  Preventative Maintenance Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  Material Handling & Waste Management  Erosion and Sediment Controls Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping  Outdoor Loading/Unloading SC-30 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Cover designated loading/unloading areas to reduce exposure of materials to rain.  Consider placing a seal or door skirt between delivery vehicles and building to prevent exposure to rain.  Design loading/unloading area to prevent stormwater run-on, which would include grading or berming the area, and position roof downspouts so they direct stormwater away from the loading/unloading areas.  Have employees load and unload all materials and equipment in covered areas such as building overhangs at loading docks if feasible.  Load/unload only at designated loading areas.  Use drip pans underneath hose and pipe connections and other leak-prone spots during liquid transfer operations, and when making and breaking connections. Several drip pans should be stored in a covered location near the liquid transfer area so that they are always available, yet protected from precipitation when not in use. Drip pans can be made specifically for railroad tracks. Drip pans must be cleaned periodically, and drip collected materials must be disposed of properly.  Pave loading areas with concrete instead of asphalt.  Avoid placing storm drains inlets in the area.  Grade and/or berm the loading/unloading area with drainage to sump; regularly remove materials accumulated in sump. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your spill prevention and control plan up-to-date or have an emergency spill cleanup plan readily available, as applicable.  Contain leaks during transfer.  Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location that is readily accessible and known to all employees.  Ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and proper spill cleanup procedures.  Use drip pans or comparable devices when transferring oils, solvents, and paints. Material Handling and Waste Management  Spot clean leaks and drips routinely to prevent runoff of spillage.  Do not pour liquid wastes into floor drains, sinks, outdoor storm drain inlets, or other storm drains or sewer connections. Outdoor Loading/Unloading SC-30 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Do not put used or leftover cleaning solutions, solvents, and automotive fluids in the storm drain or sanitary sewer.  Collect leaking or dripping fluids in drip pans or containers. Fluids are easier to recycle if kept separate.  Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums. Do not leave drip pans or other open containers lying around.  Minimize the possibility of stormwater pollution from outside waste receptacles by doing at least one of the following:  Use only watertight waste receptacle(s) and keep the lid(s) closed.  Grade and pave the waste receptacle area to prevent run-on of stormwater.  Install a roof over the waste receptacle area.  Install a low containment berm around the waste receptacle area.  Use and maintain drip pans under waste receptacles.  Post “no littering” signs.  Perform work area clean-up and dry sweep after daily operations. Employee Training Program  Train employees (e.g., fork lift operators) and contractors on proper spill containment and cleanup.  Have employees trained in spill containment and cleanup present during loading/unloading.  Train employees in proper handling techniques during liquid transfers to avoid spills.  Make sure forklift operators are properly trained on loading and unloading procedures. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document activities performed, quantities of materials removed, and improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office.  Keep accurate logs of daily clean-up operations. Outdoor Loading/Unloading SC-30 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Some facilities may have space constraints, limited staffing and time limitations that may preclude implementation of BMPs. Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds.”  Space and time limitations may preclude all transfers from being performed indoors or under cover.  Designate specific areas for outdoor loading and unloading.  Require employees to understand and follow spill and leak prevention BMPs.  It may not be possible to conduct transfers only during dry weather.  Limit materials and equipment rainfall exposure to all extents practicable.  Require employees to understand and follow spill and leak prevention BMPs. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities Many facilities will already have indoor or covered areas where loading/unloading takes place and will require no additional capital expenditures. If outdoor activities are required, construction of berms or other means to retain spills and leaks may require appropriate constructed systems for containment. These containment areas may require significant new capital investment. Capital investments will likely be required at some sites if adequate cover and containment facilities do not exist and can vary significantly depending upon site conditions. Maintenance Most of the operations and maintenance activities associated with implementing this BMP are integrally linked to routine operations as previously described. Therefore additional O&M is not required.  Conduct regular inspections and make repairs and improvements as necessary.  Check loading and unloading equipment regularly for leaks.  Conduct regular broom dry-sweeping of area. Do not wash with water. Supplemental Information Loading and Unloading of Liquids  Loading or unloading of liquids should occur in the manufacturing building so that any spills that are not completely retained can be discharged to the sanitary sewer, Outdoor Loading/Unloading SC-30 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org treatment plant, or treated in a manner consistent with local sewer authorities and permit requirements.  For loading and unloading tank trucks to above and below ground storage tanks, the following procedures should be used:  The area where the transfer takes place should be paved. If the liquid is reactive with the asphalt, Portland cement should be used to pave the area.  The transfer area should be designed to prevent run-on of stormwater from adjacent areas. Sloping the pad and using a curb, like a speed bump, around the uphill side of the transfer area should reduce run-on.  The transfer area should be designed to prevent runoff of spilled liquids from the area. Sloping the area to a drain should prevent runoff. The drain should be connected to a dead-end sump or to the sanitary sewer. A positive control valve should be installed on the drain.  For transfer from rail cars to storage tanks that must occur outside, use the following procedures:  Drip pans should be placed at locations where spillage may occur, such as hose connections, hose reels, and filler nozzles. Use drip pans when making and breaking connections.  Drip pan systems should be installed between the rails to collect spillage from tank cars.

Outdoor Equipment Operations SC-32 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Outside process equipment operations and maintenance can contaminate stormwater runoff. Activities, such as grinding, painting, coating, sanding, degreasing or parts cleaning, landfills and waste piles, and solid waste treatment and disposal are examples of process operations that can lead to contamination of stormwater runoff. The targeted constituents will vary for each site depending on the operation being performed. Approach Implement source control BMPs to limit exposure of outdoor equipment to direct precipitation and stormwater run-on. Refer to SC-22 Vehicle and Equipment Repair for additional information. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Perform the activity during dry periods whenever possible.  Install secondary containment measures where leaks and spills may occur.  Use non-toxic chemicals for maintenance and minimize or eliminate the use of solvents.  Connect process equipment area to public sanitary sewer or facility wastewater treatment system when possible. Some jurisdictions require that secondary containment areas be connected to the sanitary sewer, prohibiting any hard connections to the storm drain. Good Housekeeping  Manage materials and waste properly (see Material Handling and Waste Management) to reduce adverse impacts on stormwater quality.

Leaks are not cleaned up until the absorbent is picked up and disposed of properly.  Paint signs on storm drain inlets to indicate that they are not to receive liquid or solid wastes.  Use roll down or permanent walls when windy/breezy to prevent wind transport of particulates/pollutants. Preventative Maintenance  Design outdoor equipment areas to prevent stormwater runoff and spills. Use a perimeter drain or slope pavement inward with drainage to sump.  Dry clean the work area regularly. Do not wash outdoor equipment with water if there is a direct connection to the storm drain.  Pave area with concrete rather than asphalt.  Inspect outdoor equipment regularly for leaks or spills. Also check for structural failure, spills and overfills due to operator error, and/or failure of piping system.  Inspect and clean, if necessary, storm drain inlets and catch basins within the outdoor equipment area before October 1 each year. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.  Have employees trained in emergency spill cleanup procedures present when dangerous waste, liquid chemicals, or other wastes are delivered.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible.  Prevent operator errors by using engineering safe guards and thus reducing accidental releases of pollutant. Material Handling and Waste Management Outdoor Equipment Operations SC-32 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Do not pour liquid wastes into floor drains, sinks, outdoor storm drain inlets, or other storm drain or sewer connections.  Collect leaking or dripping fluids in drip pans or containers. Fluids are easier to recycle if kept separate.  Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums. Do not leave drip pans or other open containers lying around.  Minimize the possibility of stormwater pollution from outside waste receptacles by doing at least one of the following:  Use only watertight waste receptacle(s) and keep the lid(s) closed.  Grade and pave the waste receptacle area to prevent run-on of stormwater.  Install a roof over the waste receptacle area. Employee Training Program  Educate employees about pollution prevention measures and goals.  Train employees on proper equipment operation and maintenance procedures.  Train all employees upon hiring and annually thereafter on proper methods for handling and disposing of waste. Ensure that all employees understand stormwater discharge prohibitions, wastewater discharge requirements, and these best management practices.  Use a training log or similar method to document training.  Ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document minimum BMP activities performed for outdoor equipment, types and quantities of materials removed and disposed of, and any improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Some facilities may have space constraints, limited staffing and time limitations that may preclude implementation of BMPs. Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds.” Outdoor Equipment Operations SC-32 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Providing cover over outdoor equipment may be impractical or cost-prohibitive.  Operate outdoor equipment only during periods of dry weather.  Regular operations and time limitations may require outdoor activities during wet weather.  Designate specific areas for outdoor activities.  Allow time for work area clean-up after each shift.  Require employees to understand and follow preventive maintenance and spill and leak prevention BMPs.  Design and install secondary containment and good housekeeping BMPs for outdoor equipment area.  Storage sheds often must meet building and fire code requirements. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Many facilities will already have indoor covered areas where vehicle and equipment repairs take place and will require no additional capital expenditures.  If outdoor activities are required, construction of berms or other means to retain spills and leaks may require appropriate constructed systems for containment. These containment areas may require significant new capital investment.  Capital investments will likely be required at some sites if adequate cover and containment facilities do not exist and can vary significantly depending upon site conditions. Maintenance  Most of the operations and maintenance activities associated with implementing this BMP are integrally linked to routine operations as previously described. Therefore additional O&M is not required.  For facilities responsible for pre-treating their wastewater prior to discharging, the proper functioning of structural treatment system is an important maintenance consideration.  Routine cleanout of oil and grease is required for the devices to maintain their effectiveness, usually at least once a month. During periods of heavy rainfall, cleanout is required more often to ensure pollutants are not washed through the trap. Sediment removal is also required on a regular basis to keep the device working efficiently.

Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Improper storage and handling of solid wastes can allow toxic compounds, oils and greases, heavy metals, nutrients, suspended solids, and other pollutants to enter stormwater runoff. The discharge of pollutants to stormwater from waste handling and disposal can be prevented and reduced by tracking waste generation, storage, and disposal; reducing waste generation and disposal through source reduction, reuse, and recycling; and preventing run-on and runoff. Approach Reduce potential for pollutant discharge through source control pollution prevention and BMP implementation. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Accomplish reduction in the amount of waste generated using the following source controls:  Production planning and sequencing;  Process or equipment modification;  Raw material substitution or elimination;  Loss prevention and housekeeping;  Waste segregation and separation; and  Close loop recycling.  Establish a material tracking system to increase awareness about material usage. This may reduce spills and minimize contamination, thus reducing the amount of waste produced.  Recycle materials whenever possible.

Allow time after shift to clean area. Good Housekeeping  Cover storage containers with leak proof lids or some other means. If waste is not in containers, cover all waste piles (plastic tarps are acceptable coverage) and prevent stormwater run-on and runoff with a berm. The waste containers or piles must be covered except when in use.  Use drip pans or absorbent materials whenever grease containers are emptied by vacuum trucks or other means. Grease cannot be left on the ground. Collected grease must be properly disposed of as garbage.  Dispose of rinse and wash water from cleaning waste containers into a sanitary sewer if allowed by the local sewer authority. Do not discharge wash water to the street or storm drain. Clean in a designated wash area that drains to a clarifier.  Transfer waste from damaged containers into safe containers.  Take special care when loading or unloading wastes to minimize losses. Loading systems can be used to minimize spills and fugitive emission losses such as dust or mist. Vacuum transfer systems can minimize waste loss.  Keep the waste management area clean at all times by sweeping and cleaning up spills immediately.  Use dry methods when possible (e.g., sweeping, use of absorbents) when cleaning around restaurant/food handling dumpster areas. If water must be used after sweeping/using absorbents, collect water and discharge through grease interceptor to the sewer.  Stencil or demarcate storm drains on the facility’s property with prohibitive message regarding waste disposal.  Cover waste piles with temporary covering material such as reinforced tarpaulin, polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropylene or hypalon.  If possible, move the activity indoor after ensuring all safety concerns such as fire hazard and ventilation are addressed. Preventative Maintenance  Prevent stormwater run-on from entering the waste management area by enclosing the area or building a berm around the area.  Prevent waste materials from directly contacting rain. Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Cover waste piles with temporary covering material such as reinforced tarpaulin, polyethylene, polyurethane, polypropylene or hypalon.  Cover the area with a permanent roof if feasible.  Cover dumpsters to prevent rain from washing waste out of holes or cracks in the bottom of the dumpster.  Check waste containers weekly for leaks and to ensure that lids are on tightly. Replace any that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating.  Sweep and clean the waste management area regularly. Use dry methods when possible (e.g., sweeping, vacuuming, use of absorbents) when cleaning around restaurant/food handling dumpster areas. If water must be used after sweeping/using absorbents, collect water and discharge through grease interceptor to the sewer.  Inspect and replace faulty pumps or hoses regularly to minimize the potential of releases and spills.  Repair leaking equipment including valves, lines, seals, or pumps promptly. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your spill prevention and plan up-to-date.  Have an emergency plan, equipment and trained personnel ready at all times to deal immediately with major spills.  Collect all spilled liquids and properly dispose of them.  Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near the designated wash area.  Ensure that vehicles transporting waste have spill prevention equipment that can prevent spills during transport. Spill prevention equipment includes:  Vehicles equipped with baffles for liquid waste; and  Trucks with sealed gates and spill guards for solid waste. Material Handling and Waste Management Litter Control  Post “No Littering” signs and enforce anti-litter laws.  Provide a sufficient number of litter receptacles for the facility.  Clean out and cover litter receptacles frequently to prevent spillage. Waste Collection  Keep waste collection areas clean. Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Inspect solid waste containers for structural damage regularly. Repair or replace damaged containers as necessary.  Secure solid waste containers; containers must be closed tightly when not in use.  Do not fill waste containers with washout water or any other liquid.  Ensure that only appropriate solid wastes are added to the solid waste container. Certain wastes such as hazardous wastes, appliances, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, etc., may not be disposed of in solid waste containers (see chemical/ hazardous waste collection section below).  Do not mix wastes; this can cause chemical reactions, make recycling impossible, and complicate disposal. Affix labels to all waste containers. Chemical/Hazardous Wastes  Select designated hazardous waste collection areas on-site.  Store hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers and protect them from vandalism.  Place hazardous waste containers in secondary containment.  Make sure that hazardous waste is collected, removed, and disposed of only at authorized disposal areas.  Hazardous waste cannot be reused or recycled; it must be disposed of by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Employee Training Program  Educate employees about pollution prevention measures and goals.  Train employees how to properly handle and dispose of waste using the source control BMPs described above.  Train employees and subcontractors in proper hazardous waste management.  Use a training log or similar method to document training.  Ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document minimum BMP activities performed for waste handling and disposal, types and quantities of waste disposed of, and any improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed. Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Capital costs will vary substantially depending on the size of the facility and the types of waste handled. Significant capital costs may be associated with reducing wastes by modifying processes or implementing closed-loop recycling.  Many facilities will already have indoor covered areas where waste materials will be stored and will require no additional capital expenditures for providing cover.  If outdoor storage of wastes is required, construction of berms or other means to prevent stormwater run-on and runoff may require appropriate constructed systems for containment.  Capital investments will likely be required at some sites if adequate cover and containment facilities do not exist and can vary significantly depending upon site conditions. Maintenance  Check waste containers weekly for leaks and to ensure that lids are on tightly. Replace any that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating.  Sweep and clean the waste management area regularly. Use dry methods when possible (e.g., sweeping, use of absorbents) when cleaning around restaurant/food handling dumpster areas. If water must be used after sweeping/using absorbents, collect water and discharge through grease interceptor to the sewer.  Inspect and replace faulty pumps or hoses regularly to minimize the potential of releases and spills.  Repair leaking equipment including valves, lines, seals, or pumps promptly.

Safer Alternative Products SC-35 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Promote the use of less harmful products and products that contain little or no TMDL and 303(d) list pollutants. Alternatives exist for most product classes including chemical fertilizers, pesticides, cleaning solutions, janitorial chemicals, automotive and paint products, and consumables (batteries, fluorescent lamps). Approach Pattern a new program after the many established programs around the state and country. Integrate this best management practice as much as possible with existing programs at your facility. Develop a comprehensive program based on:  The “Precautionary Principle,” which is an alternative to the "Risk Assessment" model that says it's acceptable to use a potentially harmful product until physical evidence of its harmful effects are established and deemed too costly from an environmental or public health perspective. For instance, a risk assessment approach might say it's acceptable to use a pesticide until there is direct proof of an environmental impact. The Precautionary Principle approach is used to evaluate whether a given product is safe, whether it is really necessary, and whether alternative products would perform just as well.  Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program to minimize the purchase of products containing hazardous ingredients used in the facility's custodial services, fleet maintenance, and facility maintenance in favor of using alternate products that pose less risk to employees and to the environment.  Integrated Pest Management (IPM) or Less- Toxic Pesticide Program, which uses a pest management approach that minimizes the use of toxic chemicals and gets rid of pests Objectives  Educate  Reduce/Minimize  Product Substitution Targeted Constituents Sediment Nutrients  Trash Metals  Bacteria Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping  Preventative Maintenance Spill and Leak Prevention and Response Material Handling & Waste Management Erosion and Sediment Controls Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping Safer Alternative Products SC-35 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org by methods that pose a lower risk to employees, the public, and the environment.  Energy Efficiency Program including no-cost and low-cost energy conservation and efficiency actions that can reduce both energy consumption and electricity bills, along with long-term energy efficiency investments. Consider the following mechanisms for developing and implementing a comprehensive program:  Policies  Procedures  Standard operating procedures (SOPs);  Purchasing guidelines and procedures; and  Bid packages (services and supplies).  Materials  Preferred or approved product and supplier lists;  Product and supplier evaluation criteria;  Training sessions and manuals; and  Fact sheets for employees. Implement this BMP in conjunction with the Vehicle and Equipment Management fact sheets (SC-20 – SC-22) and SC-41 Building and Grounds Maintenance. Employee Training Program  Employees who handle potentially harmful materials should be trained in the use of safer alternatives.  Purchasing departments should be trained on safer alternative products and encouraged to procure less hazardous materials and products that contain little or no harmful substances or TMDL pollutants.  Employees and contractors / service providers can both be educated about safer alternatives by using information developed by a number of organizations including the references and resources provided in this fact sheet. Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Some facilities may have space constraints, limited staffing and time limitations that may preclude implementation of BMPs. Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds”  Alternative products may not be available, suitable, or effective in every case. Safer Alternative Products SC-35 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Minimize use of hazardous/harmful products if no alternative product is available. Regulatory Considerations This BMP has no regulatory requirements unless local/municipal ordinance applies. Existing regulations already encourage facilities to reduce the use of hazardous materials through incentives such as reduced:  Specialized equipment storage and handling requirements;  Storm water runoff sampling requirements;  Training and licensing requirements; and  Record keeping and reporting requirements. Cost Considerations  The primary cost is for staff time to: 1) develop new policies and procedures and 2) educate purchasing departments and employees who handle potentially harmful materials about the availability, procurement, and use of safer alternatives.  Some alternative products may be slightly more expensive than conventional products. Supplemental Information The following discussion provides some general information on safer alternatives. More specific information on particular hazardous materials and the available alternatives may be found in the references and resources listed below.  Automotive products – Less toxic alternatives are not available for many automotive products, especially engine fluids. But there are alternatives to grease lubricants, car polishes, degreasers, and windshield washer solution. Refined motor oil is also available.  Vehicle/Trailer lubrication – Fifth wheel bearings on trucks require routine lubrication. Adhesive lubricants are available to replace typical chassis grease.  Cleaners – Vegetables-based or citrus-based soaps are available to replace petroleum-based soaps/detergents.  Paint products – Water-based paints, wood preservatives, stains, and finishes with low VOC content are available.  Pesticides – Specific alternative products or methods exist to control most insects, fungi, and weeds.  Chemical Fertilizers – Compost and soil amendments are natural alternatives.  Consumables – Manufacturers have either reduced or are in the process of reducing the amount of heavy metals in consumables such as batteries and fluorescent lamps. Safer Alternative Products SC-35 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org All fluorescent lamps contain mercury, however low-mercury containing lamps are now available from most hardware and lighting stores. Fluorescent lamps are also more energy efficient than the average incandescent lamp.  Janitorial chemicals – Even biodegradable soap can harm fish and wildlife before it biodegrades. Biodegradable does not mean non-toxic. Safer products and procedures are available for floor stripping and cleaning, as well as carpet, glass, metal, and restroom cleaning and disinfecting. Use paper products with post- consumer recycled content and implement electric had dryers. Examples There are a number of business and trade associations, and communities with effective programs. Some of the more prominent are listed below in the references and resources section. References and Resources Note: Many of these references provide alternative products for materials that typically are used inside and disposed to the sanitary sewer as well as alternatives to products that usually end up in the storm drain.

Building & Grounds Maintenance SC-41 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Stormwater runoff from building and grounds maintenance activities can be contaminated with toxic hydrocarbons in solvents, fertilizers and pesticides, suspended solids, heavy metals, abnormal pH, and oils and greases. Utilizing the protocols in this fact sheet will prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from building and grounds maintenance activities by washing and cleaning up with as little water as possible, following good landscape management practices, preventing and cleaning up spills immediately, keeping debris from entering the storm drains, and maintaining the stormwater collection system. Approach Reduce potential for pollutant discharge through source control pollution prevention and BMP implementation. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Switch to non-toxic chemicals for maintenance to the maximum extent possible.  Choose cleaning agents that can be recycled.  Encourage proper lawn management and landscaping, including use of native vegetation.  Encourage use of Integrated Pest Management techniques for pest control.  Encourage proper onsite recycling of yard trimmings.  Recycle residual paints, solvents, lumber, and other material as much as possible.

Good Housekeeping Pressure Washing of Buildings, Rooftops, and Other Large Objects  In situations where soaps or detergents are used and the surrounding area is paved, pressure washers must use a water collection device that enables collection of wash water and associated solids. A sump pump, wet vacuum or similarly effective device must be used to collect the runoff and loose materials. The collected runoff and solids must be disposed of properly.  If soaps or detergents are not used, and the surrounding area is paved, wash runoff does not have to be collected but must be screened. Pressure washers must use filter fabric or some other type of screen on the ground and/or in the catch basin to trap the particles in wash water runoff.  If you are pressure washing on a grassed area (with or without soap), runoff must be dispersed as sheet flow as much as possible, rather than as a concentrated stream. The wash runoff must remain on the grass and not drain to pavement. Landscaping Activities  Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation as garbage, or by composting. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm drainage systems.  Use mulch or other erosion control measures on exposed soils. See also SC-40, Contaminated and Erodible Areas, for more information. Building Repair, Remodeling, and Construction  Do not dump any toxic substance or liquid waste on the pavement, the ground, or toward a storm drain.  Use ground or drop cloths underneath outdoor painting, scraping, and sandblasting work, and properly dispose of collected material daily.  Use a ground cloth or oversized tub for activities such as paint mixing and tool cleaning.  Clean paintbrushes and tools covered with water-based paints in sinks connected to sanitary sewers or in portable containers that can be dumped into a sanitary sewer drain. Brushes and tools covered with non-water-based paints, finishes, or other materials must be cleaned in a manner that enables collection of used solvents (e.g., paint thinner, turpentine, etc.) for recycling or proper disposal.  Use a storm drain cover, filter fabric, or similarly effective runoff control mechanism if dust, grit, wash water, or other pollutants may escape the work area and enter a catch basin. This is particularly necessary on rainy days. The containment device(s) must be in place at the beginning of the work day, and accumulated dirty runoff and Building & Grounds Maintenance SC-41 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org solids must be collected and disposed of before removing the containment device(s) at the end of the work day.  If you need to de-water an excavation site, you may need to filter the water before discharging to a catch basin or off-site. If directed off-site, you should direct the water through hay bales and filter fabric or use other sediment filters or traps.  Store toxic material under cover during precipitation events and when not in use. A cover would include tarps or other temporary cover material. Mowing, Trimming, and Planting  Dispose of leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation as garbage, by composting or at a permitted landfill. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm drainage systems.  Use mulch or other erosion control measures when soils are exposed.  Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses and drain inlets, and berm or cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to the storm drain system.  Consider an alternative approach when bailing out muddy water: do not put it in the storm drain; pour over landscaped areas.  Use hand weeding where practical. Fertilizer and Pesticide Management  Do not use pesticides if rain is expected.  Do not mix or prepare pesticides for application near storm drains.  Use the minimum amount needed for the job.  Calibrate fertilizer distributors to avoid excessive application.  Employ techniques to minimize off-target application (e.g., spray drift) of pesticides, including consideration of alternative application techniques.  Apply pesticides only when wind speeds are low.  Fertilizers should be worked into the soil rather than dumped or broadcast onto the surface.  Irrigate slowly to prevent runoff and then only as much as is needed.  Clean pavement and sidewalk if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before applying irrigation water. Inspection  Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water is being applied and that excessive runoff is not occurring. Minimize excess watering and repair leaks in the irrigation system as soon as they are observed. Building & Grounds Maintenance SC-41 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials, such as brooms, dustpans, and vacuum sweepers (if desired) near the storage area where it will be readily accessible.  Have employees trained in spill containment and cleanup present during the loading/unloading of dangerous wastes, liquid chemicals, or other materials.  Familiarize employees with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.  Clean up spills immediately. Material Handling and Waste Management  Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, and disposal of fertilizers and pesticides and training of applicators and pest control advisors.  Use less toxic pesticides that will do the job when applicable. Avoid use of copper- based pesticides if possible.  Dispose of empty pesticide containers according to the instructions on the container label.  Use up the pesticides. Rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused pesticide as hazardous waste.  Implement storage requirements for pesticide products with guidance from the local fire department and County Agricultural Commissioner. Provide secondary containment for pesticides. Employee Training Program  Educate and train employees on pesticide use and in pesticide application techniques to prevent pollution.  Train employees and contractors in proper techniques for spill containment and cleanup.  Be sure the frequency of training takes into account the complexity of the operations and the needs of individual staff. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate logs that document maintenance activities performed and minimum BMP measures implemented.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Building & Grounds Maintenance SC-41 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 6 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Additional capital costs are not anticipated for building and grounds maintenance. Implementation of the minimum BMPs described above should be conducted as part of regular site operations. Maintenance  Maintenance activities for the BMPs described above will be minimal, and no additional cost is anticipated. Supplemental Information Fire Sprinkler Line Flushing Site fire sprinkler line flushing may be a source of non-stormwater runoff pollution. The water entering the system is usually potable water, though in some areas it may be non- potable reclaimed wastewater. There are subsequent factors that may drastically reduce the quality of the water in such systems. Black iron pipe is usually used since it is cheaper than potable piping, but it is subject to rusting and results in lower quality water. Initially, the black iron pipe has an oil coating to protect it from rusting between manufacture and installation; this will contaminate the water from the first flush but not from subsequent flushes. Nitrates, poly-phosphates and other corrosion inhibitors, as well as fire suppressants and antifreeze may be added to the sprinkler water system. Water generally remains in the sprinkler system a long time (typically a year) and between flushes may accumulate iron, manganese, lead, copper, nickel, and zinc. The water generally becomes anoxic and contains living and dead bacteria and breakdown products from chlorination. This may result in a significant BOD problem and the water often smells. Consequently dispose fire sprinkler line flush water into the sanitary sewer. Do not allow discharge to storm drain or infiltration due to potential high levels of pollutants in fire sprinkler line water.

Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Site modifications are common, particularly at large industrial sites. The activity may vary from minor and normal building repair to major remodeling, or the construction of new facilities. These activities can generate pollutants including solvents, paints, paint and varnish removers, finishing residues, spent thinners, soap cleaners, kerosene, asphalt and concrete materials, adhesive residues, and old asbestos installation. Protocols in this fact sheet are intended to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from building repair, remodeling, and minor construction by using soil erosion controls, enclosing or covering building material storage areas, using good housekeeping practices, using safer alternative products, and training employees. This fact sheet is intended to be used for minor repairs and construction. If major construction is required, the guidelines in the Construction BMP Handbook should be followed. Approach The BMP approach is to reduce potential for pollutant discharges through source control pollution prevention and BMP implementation. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Recycle residual paints, solvents, lumber, and other materials to the maximum extent practicable.  Avoid outdoor repairs and construction during periods of wet weather.  Use safer alternative products to the maximum extent practicable. See also SC- 35 Safer Alternative Products for more information. Objectives  Cover  Contain  Educate  Reduce/Minimize  Product Substitution Targeted Constituents Sediment  Nutrients Trash  Metals  Bacteria Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping  Preventative Maintenance Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  Material Handling & Waste Management  Erosion and Sediment Controls  Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping  Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Buy recycled products to the maximum extent practicable.  Inform on-site contractors of company policy on these matters and include appropriate provisions in their contract to ensure certain proper housekeeping and disposal practices are implemented.  Make sure that nearby storm drains are well marked to minimize the chance of inadvertent disposal of residual paints and other liquids. Good Housekeeping Repair & Remodeling  Keep the work site clean and orderly. Remove debris in a timely fashion. Sweep and vacuum the area regularly to remove sediments and small debris.  Cover raw materials of particular concern that must be left outside, particularly during the rainy season. See also SC-33 Outdoor Storage of Raw Materials for more information.  Use equipment and tools such as bag sanders to reduce accumulation of debris.  Limit/prohibit work on windy days; implement roll-down walls or other measures to reduce wind transport of pollutants.  Do not dump waste liquids down the storm drain.  Dispose of wash water, sweepings, and sediments properly.  Store liquid materials properly that are normally used in repair and remodeling such as paints and solvents. See also SC-31 Outdoor Liquid Container Storage for more information.  Sweep out rain gutters or wash the gutter and trap the particles at the outlet of the downspout. A sock or geofabric placed over the outlet may effectively trap the materials. If the downspout is tight lined, place a temporary plug at the first convenient point in the storm drain and pump out the water with a vactor truck, and clean the catch basin sump where you placed the plug.  Clean the storm drain system in the immediate vicinity of the construction activity after it is completed. See also SC-44 Drainage System Maintenance for more information. Painting  Enclose painting operations consistent with local air quality regulations and OSHA.  Local air pollution regulations may, in many areas of the state, specify painting procedures which if properly carried out are usually sufficient to protect water quality.  Develop paint handling procedures for proper use, storage, and disposal of paints. Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Transport paint and materials to and from job sites in containers with secure lids and tied down to the transport vehicle.  Test and inspect spray equipment prior to starting to paint. Tighten all hoses and connections and do not overfill paint containers.  Mix paint indoors before using so that any spill will not be exposed to rain. Do so even during dry weather because cleanup of a spill will never be 100 percent effective.  Transfer and load paint and hot thermoplastic away from storm drain inlets.  Do not transfer or load paint near storm drain inlets.  Plug nearby storm drain inlets prior to starting painting and remove plugs when job is complete when there is risk of a spill reaching storm drains.  Cover nearby storm drain inlets prior to starting work if sand blasting is used to remove paint.  Use a ground cloth to collect the chips if painting requires scraping or sand blasting of the existing surface. Dispose of the residue properly.  Cover or enclose painting operations properly to avoid drift.  Clean the application equipment in a sink that is connected to the sanitary sewer if using water based paints.  Capture all cleanup-water and dispose of properly.  Dispose of paints containing lead or tributyl tin and considered a hazardous waste properly.  Store leftover paints if they are to be kept for the next job properly, or dispose properly.  Recycle paint when possible. Dispose of paint at an appropriate household hazardous waste facility. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your spill prevention and control plan up-to-date.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible.  Clean up spills immediately.  Excavate and remove the contaminated (stained) soil if a spill occurs on dirt. Material Handling and Waste Management  Post “No Littering” signs and enforce anti-litter laws. Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Provide a sufficient number of litter receptacles for the facility.  Clean out and cover litter receptacles frequently to prevent spillage.  Keep waste collection areas clean.  Inspect solid waste containers for structural damage regularly. Repair or replace damaged containers as necessary.  Secure solid waste containers; containers must be closed tightly when not in use.  Do not fill waste containers with washout water or any other liquid.  Ensure that only appropriate solid wastes are added to the solid waste container. Certain wastes such as hazardous wastes, appliances, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, etc., may not be disposed of in solid waste containers (see chemical/ hazardous waste collection section below).  Do not mix wastes; this can cause chemical reactions, make recycling impossible, and complicate disposal. Affix labels to all waste containers.  Make sure that hazardous waste is collected, removed, and disposed of properly. See also SC-34, Waste Handling and Disposal for more information. Sediment and Erosion Controls  Limit disturbance to bare soils and preserve natural vegetation whenever possible. See also EC-2, Preservation of Existing Vegetation, in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Stabilize loose soils by re-vegetating whenever possible. See also EC-4 Hydroseeding, in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Utilize non-vegetative stabilization methods for areas prone to erosion where vegetative options are not feasible. Examples include:  Areas of vehicular or pedestrian traffic such as roads or paths;  Arid environments where vegetation would not provide timely ground coverage, or would require excessive irrigation;  Rocky substrate, infertile or droughty soils where vegetation would be difficult to establish; and  Areas where vegetation will not grow adequately within the construction time frame. There are several non-vegetative stabilization methods and selection should be based on site-specific conditions. See also EC-16 Non-Vegetative Stabilization, in the Construction BMP Handbook. Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Utilize chemical stabilization when needed. See also EC-5 Soil Binders, in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Use geosynthetic membranes to control erosion if feasible. See also EC-7 Geotextiles and Mats, in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Stabilize all roadways, entrances, and exits to sufficiently control discharges of erodible materials from discharging or being tracked off the site. See also TC 1-3 Tracking Control, in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Refer to the supplemental information provided below for projects that involve more extensive soil disturbance activities. Employee Training Program  Educate employees about pollution prevention measures and goals.  Train employees how to properly implement the source control BMPs described above. Detailed information for Sediment and Erosion Control BMPs is provided in the Construction BMP Handbook.  Proper education of off-site contractors is often overlooked. The conscientious efforts of well trained employees can be lost by unknowing off-site contractors, so make sure they are well informed about pollutant source control responsibilities.  Use a training log or similar method to document training. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document minimum BMP activities performed for building repair and construction, types and quantities of waste disposed of, and any improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Some facilities may have space constraints, limited staffing and time limitations that may preclude implementation of BMPs. Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds.”  This BMP is for minor construction only. The State’s General Construction Activity Stormwater Permit has more extensive requirements for larger projects that would disturb one or more acres of surface.  Refer to the companion “Construction Best Management Practice Handbook” which contains specific guidance and best management practices for larger-scale projects. Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 6 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Time constraints may require some outdoor repairs and construction during wet weather.  Require employees to understand and follow good housekeeping and spill and leak prevention BMPs.  Inspect sediment and erosion control BMPs daily during periods of wet weather and repair or improve BMP implementation as necessary.  Hazardous waste that cannot be reused or recycled must be disposed of by a licensed hazardous waste hauler.  Minimize use of hazardous materials to the maximum extent practicable.  Be certain that actions to help stormwater quality are consistent with Cal- and Fed- OSHA and air quality regulations.  Prices for recycled/safer alternative materials and fluids may be higher than those of conventional materials. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Limited capital investments may be required at some sites if adequate cover and containment facilities do not exist for construction materials and wastes.  Purchase and installation of erosion and sediment controls, if needed will require additional capital investments, and this amount will vary depending on site characteristics and the types of BMPs being implemented.  Minimize costs by maintaining existing vegetation and limiting construction operations on bare soils. Maintenance  The erosion and sediment control BMPs described above require periodic inspection and maintenance to remain effective. The cost of these actions will vary depending on site characteristics and the types of BMPs being implemented.  Irrigation costs may be required to establish and maintain vegetation. Supplemental Information Soil/Erosion Control If the work involves exposing large areas of soil, employ the appropriate soil erosion and control techniques. See the Construction Best Management Practice Handbook. If old buildings are being torn down and not replaced in the near future, stabilize the site using measures described in SC-40 Contaminated or Erodible Areas. Building Repair and Construction SC-42 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 7 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org If a building is to be placed over an open area with a storm drainage system, make sure the storm inlets within the building are covered or removed, or the storm line is connected to the sanitary sewer. If because of the remodeling a new drainage system is to be installed or the existing system is to be modified, consider installing catch basins as they serve as effective “in-line” treatment devices. Include in the catch basin a “turn- down” elbow or similar device to trap floatables. References and Resources City of Seattle, Seattle Public Utilities Department of Planning and Development, 2009.

Parking Area Maintenance SC-43 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description Parking lots can contribute a number of substances, such as trash, suspended solids, hydrocarbons, oil and grease, and heavy metals that can enter receiving waters through stormwater runoff or non-stormwater discharges. The protocols in this fact sheet are intended to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants from parking areas and include using good housekeeping practices, following appropriate cleaning BMPs, and training employees. BMPs for other outdoor areas on site (loading/unloading, material storage, and equipment operations) are described in SC-30 through SC-33. Approach The goal of this program is to ensure stormwater pollution prevention practices are considered when conducting activities on or around parking areas to reduce potential for pollutant discharge to receiving waters. Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Encourage advanced designs and maintenance strategies for impervious parking lots. Refer to the treatment control BMP fact sheets in this manual for additional information.  Keep accurate maintenance logs to evaluate BMP implementation. Good Housekeeping  Keep all parking areas clean and orderly. Remove debris, litter, and sediments in a timely fashion.  Post “No Littering” signs and enforce anti- litter laws.

Preventative Maintenance Inspection Have designated personnel conduct inspections of parking facilities and stormwater conveyance systems associated with parking facilities on a regular basis.  Inspect cleaning equipment/sweepers for leaks on a regular basis. Surface Cleaning  Use dry cleaning methods (e.g., sweeping, vacuuming) to prevent the discharge of pollutants into the stormwater conveyance system if possible.  Establish frequency of public parking lot sweeping based on usage and field observations of waste accumulation.  Sweep all parking lots at least once before the onset of the wet season.  Dispose of parking lot sweeping debris and dirt at a landfill.  Follow the procedures below if water is used to clean surfaces:  Block the storm drain or contain runoff.  Collect and pump wash water to the sanitary sewer or discharge to a pervious surface. Do not allow wash water to enter storm drains.  Follow the procedures below when cleaning heavy oily deposits:  Clean oily spots with absorbent materials.  Use a screen or filter fabric over inlet, then wash surfaces.  Do not allow discharges to the storm drain.  Vacuum/pump discharges to a tank or discharge to sanitary sewer.  Dispose of spilled materials and absorbents appropriately. Surface Repair  Check local ordinance for SUSMP/LID ordinance.  Preheat, transfer or load hot bituminous material away from storm drain inlets.  Apply concrete, asphalt, and seal coat during dry weather to prevent contamination from contacting stormwater runoff.  Cover and seal nearby storm drain inlets where applicable (with waterproof material or mesh) and manholes before applying seal coat, slurry seal, etc. Leave covers in Parking Area Maintenance SC-43 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org place until job is complete and all water from emulsified oil sealants has drained or evaporated. Clean any debris from these covered manholes and drains for proper disposal.  Use only as much water as necessary for dust control during sweeping to avoid runoff.  Catch drips from paving equipment that is not in use with pans or absorbent material placed under the machines. Dispose of collected material and absorbents properly. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible or at a central location.  Clean up fluid spills immediately with absorbent rags or material.  Dispose of spilled material and absorbents properly. Employee Training Program  Provide regular training to field employees and/or contractors regarding cleaning of paved areas and proper operation of equipment.  Train employees and contractors in proper techniques for spill containment and cleanup.  Use a training log or similar method to document training. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document minimum BMP activities performed for parking area maintenance, types and quantities of waste disposed of, and any improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Capital investments may be required at some sites to purchase sweeping equipment, train sweeper operators, install oil/water/sand separators, or implement advanced BMPs. These costs can vary significantly depending upon site conditions and the amount of BMPs required. Parking Area Maintenance SC-43 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 5 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Maintenance  Sweep and clean parking lots regularly to minimize pollutant transport into storm drains from stormwater runoff.  Clean out oil/water/sand separators regularly, especially after heavy storms.  Maintain advanced BMPs such as vegetated swales, infiltration trenches, or detention basins as appropriate. Refer to the treatment control fact sheets for more information. Supplemental Information Advanced BMPs Some parking areas may require advanced BMPs to further reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff, and a few examples are listed below. Refer to the Treatment Control Fact Sheets and the New Development and Redevelopment Manual for more information.  When possible, direct sheet runoff to flow into biofilters (vegetated strip and swale) and/or infiltration devices.  Utilize sand filters or oleophilic collectors for oily waste in low quantities.  Arrange rooftop drains to prevent drainage directly onto paved surfaces.  Design lot to include semi-permeable hardscape.

Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Description As a consequence of its function, the stormwater drainage facilities on site convey stormwater that may contain certain pollutants either to the offsite conveyance system that collects and transports urban runoff and stormwater, or directly to receiving waters. The protocols in this fact sheet are intended to reduce pollutants leaving the site to the offsite drainage infrastructure or to receiving waters through proper on-site conveyance system operation and maintenance. The targeted constituents will vary depending on site characteristics and operations. Approach Successful implementation depends on effective training of employees on applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and objectives. General Pollution Prevention Protocols  Maintain catch basins, stormwater inlets, and other stormwater conveyance structures on a regular basis to remove pollutants, reduce high pollutant concentrations during the first flush of storms, prevent clogging of the downstream conveyance system, restore catch basins’ sediment trapping capacity, and ensure the system functions properly hydraulically to avoid flooding.  Develop and follow a site specific drainage system maintenance plan that describes maintenance locations, methods, required equipment, water sources, sediment collection areas, disposal requirements, and any other pertinent information. Good Housekeeping Illicit Connections and Discharges  Look for evidence of illegal discharges or illicit connections during routine maintenance of conveyance system and drainage structures: Objectives  Cover  Contain  Educate  Reduce/Minimize Targeted Constituents Sediment  Nutrients  Trash  Metals  Bacteria  Oil and Grease  Organics  Minimum BMPs Covered Good Housekeeping  Preventative Maintenance  Spill and Leak Prevention and Response  Material Handling & Waste Management Erosion and Sediment Controls Employee Training Program  Quality Assurance Record Keeping  Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 2 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Identify evidence of spills such as paints, discoloring, odors, etc.  Record locations of apparent illegal discharges/illicit connections.  Track flows back to potential discharges and conduct aboveground inspections. This can be done through visual inspection of upgradient manholes or alternate techniques including zinc chloride smoke testing, fluorometric dye testing, physical inspection testing, or television camera inspection.  Eliminate the discharge once the origin of flow is established.  Stencil or demarcate storm drains, where applicable, to prevent illegal disposal of pollutants. Storm drain inlets should have messages such as “Dump No Waste Drains to Stream” or similar stenciled next to them to warn against ignorant or intentional dumping of pollutants into the storm drainage system.  Refer to fact sheet SC-10 Non-Stormwater Discharges for additional information. Illegal Dumping  Inspect and clean up hot spots and other storm drainage areas regularly where illegal dumping and disposal occurs.  Establish a system for tracking incidents. The system should be designed to identify the following:  Illegal dumping hot spots;  Types and quantities (in some cases) of wastes;  Patterns in time of occurrence (time of day/night, month, or year);  Mode of dumping (abandoned containers, “midnight dumping” from moving vehicles, direct dumping of materials, accidents/spills); and  Responsible parties.  Post “No Dumping” signs in problem areas with a phone number for reporting dumping and disposal. Signs should also indicate fines and penalties for illegal dumping.  Refer to fact sheet SC-10 Non-Stormwater Discharges for additional information. Preventative Maintenance Catch Basins/Inlet Structures  Staff should regularly inspect facilities to ensure compliance with the following:  Immediate repair of any deterioration threatening structural integrity.  Cleaning before the sump is 40% full. Catch basins should be cleaned as frequently as needed to meet this standard. Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Clean catch basins, storm drain inlets, and other conveyance structures before the wet season to remove sediments and debris accumulated during the summer.  Conduct inspections more frequently during the wet season for problem areas where sediment or trash accumulates more often. Prioritize storm drain inlets; clean and repair as needed.  Keep accurate logs of the number of catch basins cleaned.  Store wastes collected from cleaning activities of the drainage system in appropriate containers or temporary storage sites in a manner that prevents discharge to the storm drain.  Dewater the wastes if necessary with outflow into the sanitary sewer if permitted. Water should be treated with an appropriate filtering device prior to discharge to the sanitary sewer. If discharge to the sanitary sewer is not allowed, water should be pumped or vacuumed to a tank and properly disposed. Do not dewater near a storm drain or stream. Storm Drain Conveyance System  Locate reaches of storm drain with deposit problems and develop a flushing schedule that keeps the pipe clear of excessive buildup.  Collect and pump flushed effluent to the sanitary sewer for treatment whenever possible. Pump Stations  Clean all storm drain pump stations prior to the wet season to remove silt and trash.  Do not allow discharge to reach the storm drain system when cleaning a storm drain pump station or other facility.  Conduct routine maintenance at each pump station.  Inspect, clean, and repair as necessary all outlet structures prior to the wet season. Open Channel  Modify storm channel characteristics to improve channel hydraulics, increase pollutant removals, and enhance channel/creek aesthetic and habitat value.  Conduct channel modification/improvement in accordance with existing laws. Any person, government agency, or public utility proposing an activity that will change the natural state of any river, stream, or lake in California, must enter into a Steam or Lake Alteration Agreement with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The developer-applicant should also contact local governments (city, county, special districts), other state agencies (SWRCB, RWQCB, Department of Forestry, Department of Water Resources), and Army Corps of Engineers and USFWS. Spill Response and Prevention Procedures  Keep your spill prevention control plan up-to-date. Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 4 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Investigate all reports of spills, leaks, and/or illegal dumping promptly.  Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible or at a central location.  Clean up all spills and leaks using “dry” methods (with absorbent materials and/or rags) or dig up, remove, and properly dispose of contaminated soil. Employee Training Program  Educate employees about pollution prevention measures and goals.  Train employees how to properly handle and dispose of waste using the source control BMPs described above.  Train employees and subcontractors in proper hazardous waste management.  Use a training log or similar method to document training.  Ensure that employees are familiar with the site’s spill control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures.  Have staff involved in detection and removal of illicit connections trained in the following:  OSHA-required Health and Safety Training (29 CFR 1910.120) plus annual refresher training (as needed).  OSHA Confined Space Entry training (Cal-OSHA Confined Space, Title 8 and Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146).  Procedural training (field screening, sampling, smoke/dye testing, TV inspection). Quality Assurance and Record Keeping  Keep accurate maintenance logs that document minimum BMP activities performed for drainage system maintenance, types and quantities of waste disposed of, and any improvement actions.  Keep accurate logs of spill response actions that document what was spilled, how it was cleaned up, and how the waste was disposed.  Keep accurate logs of illicit connections, illicit discharges, and illegal dumping into the storm drain system including how wastes were cleaned up and disposed.  Establish procedures to complete logs and file them in the central office. Potential Limitations and Work-Arounds Provided below are typical limitations and recommended “work-arounds” for drainage system maintenance: Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 5 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org  Clean-up activities may create a slight disturbance for local aquatic species. Access to items and material on private property may be limited. Trade-offs may exist between channel hydraulics and water quality/riparian habitat. If storm channels or basins are recognized as wetlands, many activities, including maintenance, may be subject to regulation and permitting.  Perform all maintenance onsite and do not flush accumulated material downstream to private property or riparian habitats.  Storm drain flushing is most effective in small diameter pipes (36-inch diameter pipe or less, depending on water supply and sediment collection capacity). Other considerations associated with storm drain flushing may include the availability of a water source, finding a downstream area to collect sediments, and liquid/sediment disposal.  Develop and follow a site specific drainage system maintenance plan that describes maintenance locations, methods, required equipment, water sources, sediment collection areas, disposal requirements, and any other pertinent information.  Regulations may include adoption of substantial penalties for illegal dumping and disposal.  Do not dump illegal materials anywhere onsite.  Identify illicit connections, illicit discharge, and illegal dumping.  Cleanup spills immediately and properly dispose of wastes.  Local municipal codes may include sections prohibiting discharge of soil, debris, refuse, hazardous wastes, and other pollutants into the sanitary sewer system.  Collect all materials and pollutants accumulated in drainage system and dispose of according to local regulations.  Install debris excluders in areas with a trash TMDL. Potential Capital Facility Costs and Operation & Maintenance Requirements Facilities  Capital costs will vary substantially depending on the size of the facility and characteristics of the drainage system. Significant capital costs may be associated with purchasing water trucks, vacuum trucks, and any other necessary cleaning equipment or improving the drainage infrastructure to reduce the potential .  Developing and implementing a site specific drainage system maintenance plan will require additional capital if a similar program is not already in place. Drainage System Maintenance SC-44 September 2014 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 6 of 7 Industrial and Commercial www.casqa.org Maintenance  Two-person teams may be required to clean catch basins with vactor trucks.  Teams of at least two people plus administrative personnel are required to identify illicit discharges, depending on the complexity of the storm sewer system.  Arrangements must be made for proper disposal of collected wastes.  Technical staff are required to detect and investigate illegal dumping violations.  Methods used for illicit connection detection (smoke testing, dye testing, visual inspection, and flow monitoring) can be costly and time-consuming. Site-specific factors, such as the level of impervious area, the density and ages of buildings, and type of land use will determine the level of investigation necessary. Supplemental Information Storm Drain Flushing Flushing is a common maintenance activity used to improve pipe hydraulics and to remove pollutants in storm drainage systems. Flushing may be designed to hydraulically convey accumulated material to strategic locations, such as an open channel, another point where flushing will be initiated, or the sanitary sewer and the treatment facilities, thus preventing re-suspension and overflow of a portion of the solids during storm events. Flushing prevents “plug flow” discharges of concentrated pollutant loadings and sediments. Deposits can hinder the designed conveyance capacity of the storm drain system and potentially cause backwater conditions in severe cases of clogging. Storm drain flushing usually takes place along segments of pipe with grades that are too flat to maintain adequate velocity to keep particles in suspension. An upstream manhole is selected to place an inflatable device that temporarily plugs the pipe. Further upstream, water is pumped into the line to create a flushing wave. When the upstream reach of pipe is sufficiently full to cause a flushing wave, the inflated device is rapidly deflated with the assistance of a vacuum pump, thereby releasing the backed up water and resulting in the cleaning of the storm drain segment. To further reduce impacts of stormwater pollution, a second inflatable device placed well downstream may be used to recollect the water after the force of the flushing wave has dissipated. A pump may then be used to transfer the water and accumulated material to the sanitary sewer for treatment. In some cases, an interceptor structure may be more practical or required to recollect the flushed waters. It has been found that cleansing efficiency of periodic flush waves is dependent upon flush volume, flush discharge rate, sewer slope, sewer length, sewer flow rate, sewer diameter, and population density. As a rule of thumb, the length of line to be flushed should not exceed 700 feet. At this maximum recommended length, the percent removal efficiency ranges between 65-75% for organics and 55-65% for dry weather grit/inorganic material. The percent removal efficiency drops rapidly beyond that. Water is commonly supplied by a water truck, but fire hydrants can also supply water. To make the best use of water, it is recommended that reclaimed water be used if allowed or that fire hydrant line flushing coincide with storm sewer flushing.

Efficient Irrigation SD-12 January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com Description Irrigation water provided to landscaped areas may result in excess irrigation water being conveyed into stormwater drainage systems. Approach Project plan designs for development and redevelopment should include application methods of irrigation water that minimize runoff of excess irrigation water into the stormwater conveyance system. Suitable Applications Appropriate applications include residential, commercial and industrial areas planned for development or redevelopment. (Detached residential single-family homes are typically excluded from this requirement.) Design Considerations Designing New Installations The following methods to reduce excessive irrigation runoff should be considered, and incorporated and implemented where determined applicable and feasible by the Permittee: „ Employ rain-triggered shutoff devices to prevent irrigation after precipitation. „ Design irrigation systems to each landscape area’s specific water requirements. „ Include design featuring flow reducers or shutoff valves triggered by a pressure drop to control water loss in the event of broken sprinkler heads or lines. „ Implement landscape plans consistent with County or City water conservation resolutions, which may include provision of water sensors, programmable irrigation times (for short cycles), etc. Design Objectives ; Maximize Infiltration ; Provide Retention ; Slow Runoff Minimize Impervious Land Coverage Prohibit Dumping of Improper Materials Contain Pollutants Collect and Convey SD-12 Efficient Irrigation 2 of 2 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com „ Design timing and application methods of irrigation water to minimize the runoff of excess irrigation water into the storm water drainage system. „ Group plants with similar water requirements in order to reduce excess irrigation runoff and promote surface filtration. Choose plants with low irrigation requirements (for example, native or drought tolerant species). Consider design features such as: - Using mulches (such as wood chips or bar) in planter areas without ground cover to minimize sediment in runoff - Installing appropriate plant materials for the location, in accordance with amount of sunlight and climate, and use native plant materials where possible and/or as recommended by the landscape architect - Leaving a vegetative barrier along the property boundary and interior watercourses, to act as a pollutant filter, where appropriate and feasible - Choosing plants that minimize or eliminate the use of fertilizer or pesticides to sustain growth „ Employ other comparable, equally effective methods to reduce irrigation water runoff. Redeveloping Existing Installations Various jurisdictional stormwater management and mitigation plans (SUSMP, WQMP, etc.) define “redevelopment” in terms of amounts of additional impervious area, increases in gross floor area and/or exterior construction, and land disturbing activities with structural or impervious surfaces. The definition of “ redevelopment” must be consulted to determine whether or not the requirements for new development apply to areas intended for redevelopment. If the definition applies, the steps outlined under “designing new installations” above should be followed.

Storm Drain Signage SD-13 January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com Description Waste materials dumped into storm drain inlets can have severe impacts on receiving and ground waters. Posting notices regarding discharge prohibitions at storm drain inlets can prevent waste dumping. Storm drain signs and stencils are highly visible source controls that are typically placed directly adjacent to storm drain inlets. Approach The stencil or affixed sign contains a brief statement that prohibits dumping of improper materials into the urban runoff conveyance system. Storm drain messages have become a popular method of alerting the public about the effects of and the prohibitions against waste disposal. Suitable Applications Stencils and signs alert the public to the destination of pollutants discharged to the storm drain. Signs are appropriate in residential, commercial, and industrial areas, as well as any other area where contributions or dumping to storm drains is likely. Design Considerations Storm drain message markers or placards are recommended at all storm drain inlets within the boundary of a development project. The marker should be placed in clear sight facing toward anyone approaching the inlet from either side. All storm drain inlet locations should be identified on the development site map. Designing New Installations The following methods should be considered for inclusion in the project design and show on project plans: „ Provide stenciling or labeling of all storm drain inlets and catch basins, constructed or modified, within the project area with prohibitive language. Examples include “NO DUMPING Design Objectives Maximize Infiltration Provide Retention Slow Runoff Minimize Impervious Land Coverage ; Prohibit Dumping of Improper Materials Contain Pollutants Collect and Convey SD-13 Storm Drain Signage 2 of 2 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com – DRAINS TO OCEAN” and/or other graphical icons to discourage illegal dumping. „ Post signs with prohibitive language and/or graphical icons, which prohibit illegal dumping at public access points along channels and creeks within the project area. Note - Some local agencies have approved specific signage and/or storm drain message placards for use. Consult local agency stormwater staff to determine specific requirements for placard types and methods of application. Redeveloping Existing Installations Various jurisdictional stormwater management and mitigation plans (SUSMP, WQMP, etc.) define “redevelopment” in terms of amounts of additional impervious area, increases in gross floor area and/or exterior construction, and land disturbing activities with structural or impervious surfaces. If the project meets the definition of “redevelopment”, then the requirements stated under “ designing new installations” above should be included in all project design plans. Additional Information Maintenance Considerations „ Legibility of markers and signs should be maintained. If required by the agency with jurisdiction over the project, the owner/operator or homeowner’s association should enter into a maintenance agreement with the agency or record a deed restriction upon the property title to maintain the legibility of placards or signs. Placement „ Signage on top of curbs tends to weather and fade. „ Signage on face of curbs tends to be worn by contact with vehicle tires and sweeper brooms. Supplemental Information Examples „ Most MS4 programs have storm drain signage programs. Some MS4 programs will provide stencils, or arrange for volunteers to stencil storm drains as part of their outreach program.

Maintenance Bays & Docks SD-31 January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com Description Several measures can be taken to prevent operations at maintenance bays and loading docks from contributing a variety of toxic compounds, oil and grease, heavy metals, nutrients, suspended solids, and other pollutants to the stormwater conveyance system. Approach In designs for maintenance bays and loading docks, containment is encouraged. Preventative measures include overflow containment structures and dead-end sumps. However, in the case of loading docks from grocery stores and warehouse/distribution centers, engineered infiltration systems may be considered. Suitable Applications Appropriate applications include commercial and industrial areas planned for development or redevelopment. Design Considerations Design requirements for vehicle maintenance and repair are governed by Building and Fire Codes, and by current local agency ordinances, and zoning requirements. The design criteria described in this fact sheet are meant to enhance and be consistent with these code requirements. Designing New Installations Designs of maintenance bays should consider the following: „ Repair/maintenance bays and vehicle parts with fluids should be indoors; or designed to preclude urban run-on and runoff. „ Repair/maintenance floor areas should be paved with Portland cement concrete (or equivalent smooth impervious surface). Design Objectives Maximize Infiltration Provide Retention Slow Runoff Minimize Impervious Land Coverage ; Prohibit Dumping of Improper Materials ; Contain Pollutants Collect and Convey SD-31 Maintenance Bays & Docks 2 of 2 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com „ Repair/maintenance bays should be designed to capture all wash water leaks and spills. Provide impermeable berms, drop inlets, trench catch basins, or overflow containment structures around repair bays to prevent spilled materials and wash-down waters form entering the storm drain system. Connect drains to a sump for collection and disposal. Direct connection of the repair/maintenance bays to the storm drain system is prohibited. If required by local jurisdiction, obtain an Industrial Waste Discharge Permit. „ Other features may be comparable and equally effective. The following designs of loading/unloading dock areas should be considered: „ Loading dock areas should be covered, or drainage should be designed to preclude urban run-on and runoff. „ Direct connections into storm drains from depressed loading docks (truck wells) are prohibited. „ Below-grade loading docks from grocery stores and warehouse/distribution centers of fresh food items should drain through water quality inlets, or to an engineered infiltration system, or an equally effective alternative. Pre-treatment may also be required. „ Other features may be comparable and equally effective. Redeveloping Existing Installations Various jurisdictional stormwater management and mitigation plans (SUSMP, WQMP, etc.) define “redevelopment” in terms of amounts of additional impervious area, increases in gross floor area and/or exterior construction, and land disturbing activities with structural or impervious surfaces. The definition of “ redevelopment” must be consulted to determine whether or not the requirements for new development apply to areas intended for redevelopment. If the definition applies, the steps outlined under “designing new installations” above should be followed. Additional Information Stormwater and non-stormwater will accumulate in containment areas and sumps with impervious surfaces. Contaminated accumulated water must be disposed of in accordance with applicable laws and cannot be discharged directly to the storm drain or sanitary sewer system without the appropriate permit.

Trash Storage Areas SD-32 January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 2 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com Description Trash storage areas are areas where a trash receptacle (s) are located for use as a repository for solid wastes. Stormwater runoff from areas where trash is stored or disposed of can be polluted. In addition, loose trash and debris can be easily transported by water or wind into nearby storm drain inlets, channels, and/or creeks. Waste handling operations that may be sources of stormwater pollution include dumpsters, litter control, and waste piles. Approach This fact sheet contains details on the specific measures required to prevent or reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff associated with trash storage and handling. Preventative measures including enclosures, containment structures, and impervious pavements to mitigate spills, should be used to reduce the likelihood of contamination. Suitable Applications Appropriate applications include residential, commercial and industrial areas planned for development or redevelopment. (Detached residential single-family homes are typically excluded from this requirement.) Design Considerations Design requirements for waste handling areas are governed by Building and Fire Codes, and by current local agency ordinances and zoning requirements. The design criteria described in this fact sheet are meant to enhance and be consistent with these code and ordinance requirements. Hazardous waste should be handled in accordance with legal requirements established in Title 22, California Code of Regulation. Wastes from commercial and industrial sites are typically hauled by either public or commercial carriers that may have design or access requirements for waste storage areas. The design criteria in this fact sheet are recommendations and are not intended to be in conflict with requirements established by the waste hauler. The waste hauler should be contacted prior to the design of your site trash collection areas. Conflicts or issues should be discussed with the local agency. Designing New Installations Trash storage areas should be designed to consider the following structural or treatment control BMPs: „ Design trash container areas so that drainage from adjoining roofs and pavement is diverted around the area(s) to avoid run-on. This might include berming or grading the waste handling area to prevent run-on of stormwater. „ Make sure trash container areas are screened or walled to prevent off-site transport of trash. Design Objectives Maximize Infiltration Provide Retention Slow Runoff Minimize Impervious Land Coverage Prohibit Dumping of Improper Materials ; Contain Pollutants Collect and Convey SD-32 Trash Storage Areas 2 of 2 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com „ Use lined bins or dumpsters to reduce leaking of liquid waste. „ Provide roofs, awnings, or attached lids on all trash containers to minimize direct precipitation and prevent rainfall from entering containers. „ Pave trash storage areas with an impervious surface to mitigate spills. „ Do not locate storm drains in immediate vicinity of the trash storage area. „ Post signs on all dumpsters informing users that hazardous materials are not to be disposed of therein. Redeveloping Existing Installations Various jurisdictional stormwater management and mitigation plans (SUSMP, WQMP, etc.) define “redevelopment” in terms of amounts of additional impervious area, increases in gross floor area and/or exterior construction, and land disturbing activities with structural or impervious surfaces. The definition of “ redevelopment” must be consulted to determine whether or not the requirements for new development apply to areas intended for redevelopment. If the definition applies, the steps outlined under “designing new installations” above should be followed. Additional Information Maintenance Considerations The integrity of structural elements that are subject to damage (i.e., screens, covers, and signs) must be maintained by the owner/operator. Maintenance agreements between the local agency and the owner/operator may be required. Some agencies will require maintenance deed restrictions to be recorded of the property title. If required by the local agency, maintenance agreements or deed restrictions must be executed by the owner/operator before improvement plans are approved.
