BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment <br /> Purpose <br /> Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants to the stormwater system or <br /> watercourses from material delivery and storage. Minimize the storage of hazardous <br /> materials on-site, store materials in a designated area, and install secondary <br /> containment. <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with delivery and <br /> storage of the following materials: <br /> • Petroleum products such as fuel, oil and grease <br /> • Soil stabilizers and binders (e.g., Polyacrylamide) <br /> • Fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides <br /> • Detergents <br /> • Asphalt and concrete compounds <br /> • Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, adhesives, paints, solvents, and <br /> curing compounds <br /> • Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the environment <br /> Design and Installation Specifications <br /> The following steps should be taken to minimize risk: <br /> • Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic, near the <br /> construction entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm drains. <br /> • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all materials stored. <br /> Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled containers. <br /> • Hazardous material storage on-site should be minimized. <br /> • Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible. <br /> • During the wet weather season (Oct 1 —April 30), consider storing materials in a <br /> covered area. <br /> • Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen dike, <br /> horse trough, or even a children's wading pool for non-reactive materials such as <br /> detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of material may be <br /> secondarily contained in "bus boy" trays or concrete mixing trays. <br /> • Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the ground. Place <br /> these items on a pallet and, when possible, and within secondary containment. <br /> • If drums must be kept uncovered, store them at a slight angle to reduce ponding <br /> of rainwater on the lids to reduce corrosion. Domed plastic covers are <br /> inexpensive and snap to the top of drums, preventing water from collecting. <br /> Material Storage Areas and Secondary Containment Practices: <br /> • Liquids, petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or <br /> 302 shall be stored in approved containers and drums and shall not be overfilled. <br /> Containers and drums shall be stored in temporary secondary containment <br /> facilities. <br /> Page 142 <br />
