OUTDOOR LOADING�UNLOADING OF MATERIALS <br />Best Management Practices (BhdPs) <br />A BMP is a technique, n ,ensure •or structural control that is <br />used for a given set of conditions to improve the quality of <br />the stormwater runoff in a cost effective manner'. The <br />minimum required BIVIPs for this activity are outlined in the <br />box. to the right_ Implementation of Nolfution <br />prevenuoNgood housekeeping measures may reduce or <br />eliminate the need to implenY -nt other, more costly or <br />complicated pro_:edures.

In order to meet the requirerrents for medium and high priority facilities, the ownersioperators <br />must select, install and maintain appropriate BMPs on site. Since the selection of the appropriate BMPs is a <br />site- specific-. process, he types and rumbe rs of additional BIa1Ps Mll vary for each fadli4- <br />1. Properly design loading unloading areas to prevent storm waterrunon, runoff of spills, etc. <br />• Grade andior ben, the area to prevent runon_ <br />• Position roof dot nspouts io direct stormwater away from the area- <br />• Grade and(or berm the toadingfunloading area to a drain that is connected to a dead -end. <br />• The area -&here truck transfers take place should be raved_ If the liquid is reactive with the <br />asphalt. Portland cement should be used to pave the area. <br />• Avoid placing loadingiunloadina are?s near storm dE -sins. <br />2. Park vehicles and conduct loading,unloading only in designated loading)unloading areas so <br />that spills or leaks can be contained. <br />3. Clean loadingrunloading areas regularly to remove potential sources of pollutants. This includes <br />outside areas that are regularly covered by containers or other materials. <br />4. Reduce exposure of materials to rain. <br />Laver the loading/unloading areas_ <br />• If a cover is unfeasible, use overharrg.s, or seals or door skirts to enclose areas. <br />5. Use drip pans underneath hose and pipe connections and other leak -prone spots during liquid <br />transfer operations, and when making and breaking connections. <br />EPA " Preimmqary Data Summary of ort�ar Sto M'e a.er Rent Man °racscec" <br />1C I O 0=1,,or Lwd,n=_'L:uloa3nz of . %La -ter — <br />Edna Park Lease (06.16.09) <br />
