• Temporary concrete washout facility (type above grade) should be constructed <br /> as shown on the details below, with a recommended minimum length and <br /> minimum width of 10 ft, but with sufficient quantity and volume to contain all liquid <br /> and concrete waste generated by washout operations. <br /> • Plastic lining material should be a minimum of 10 mil polyethylene sheeting and <br /> should be free of holes, tears, or other defects that compromise the <br /> impermeability of the material. <br /> • Temporary Below-Grade Concrete Washout Facility. <br /> • Temporary concrete washout facilities (type below grade) should be constructed <br /> as shown on the details below, with a recommended minimum length and <br /> minimum width of 10 ft. The quantity and volume should be sufficient to contain <br /> all liquid and concrete waste generated by washout operations. <br /> • Lath and flagging should be commercial type. <br /> • Plastic lining material shall be a minimum of 10 mil polyethylene sheeting and <br /> should be free of holes, tears, or other defects that compromise the <br /> impermeability of the material. <br /> • Liner seams shall be installed in accordance with manufacturers' <br /> recommendations. <br /> • Soil base shall be prepared free of rocks or other debris that may cause tears <br /> • or holes in the plastic lining material. <br /> Maintenance Standards <br /> Inspection and Maintenance <br /> • Inspect and verify that concrete washout BMPs are in place prior to the <br /> commencement of concrete work. <br /> • During periods of concrete work, inspect daily to verify continued performance. <br /> o Check overall condition and performance. <br /> o Check remaining capacity (% full). <br /> o If using self-installed washout facilities, verify plastic lin liners are intact <br /> and sidewalls are not damaged. <br /> o If using prefabricated containers, check for leaks. <br /> • Washout facilities shall be maintained to provide adequate holding capacity with <br /> a minimum freeboard of 12 inches. <br /> • Washout facilities must be cleaned, or new facilities must be constructed and <br /> ready for use once the washout is 75% full. <br /> • If the washout is nearing capacity, vacuum and dispose of the waste material in <br /> an approved manner. <br /> • Do not discharge liquid or slurry to waterways, storm drains or directly onto <br /> ground. <br /> • Do not use sanitary sewer without local approval. <br /> • Place a secure, non-collapsing, non-water collecting cover over the concrete <br /> washout facility prior to predicted wet weather to prevent accumulation and <br /> overflow of precipitation. <br /> • Remove and dispose of hardened concrete and return the structure to a <br /> functional condition. Concrete may be reused on-site or hauled away for disposal <br /> or recycling. <br /> Page 146 <br />
