I <br /> BMP C151: Concrete HandlingI <br /> Purpose I <br /> Concrete work can generate process water and slurry that contain fine particles and high <br /> pH, both of which can violate water quality standards in the receiving water. Concrete <br /> spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. Use this BMP <br /> to minimize and eliminate concrete, concrete process water, and concrete slurry from <br /> entering waters of the state. I <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> Any time concrete is used, utilize these management practices. Concrete construction I <br /> projects include, but are not limited to, the following: <br /> • Curbs I <br /> . Sidewalks <br /> . Roads I <br /> . Bridges <br /> . Foundations <br /> . Floors <br /> . Runways <br /> Design and Installation Specifications I <br /> . Assure that washout of concrete trucks, chutes, pumps, and internals is performed <br /> at an approved off-site location or in designated concrete washout areas. Do not <br /> wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, <br /> streets, or streams. Refer to BMP C154: Concrete Washout Area (p.317)for inform- <br /> ation on concrete washout areas. I <br /> • Return unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump to the originating batch <br /> plant for recycling. Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated con- I <br /> crete washout areas. <br /> • Wash off hand tools including, but not limited to, screeds, shovels, rakes,floats, <br /> and trowels into formed areas only. <br /> . Wash equipment difficult to move, such as concrete pavers in areas that do not dir- <br /> ectly drain to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances. <br /> . Do not allow washdown from areas, such as concrete aggregate driveways, to <br /> drain directly to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances. I <br /> • Contain washwater and leftover product in a lined container when no formed areas <br /> I <br /> 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume Il- Chapter 4 -Page 313 I <br />
