• If using self -installed washout facilities, verify plastic liners are <br />intact and sidewalls are not damaged. • <br />• If using prefabricated containers, check for leaks. <br />• Washout facilities shall be maintained to provide adequate holding <br />capacity with a minimum freeboard of 12 inches. <br />• Washout facilities must be cleaned, or new facilities must be <br />constructed and ready for use once the washout is 75% full. <br />• If the washout is nearing capacity, vacuum and dispose of the waste <br />material in an approved manner. <br />• Do not discharge liquid or slurry to waterways, storm drains or <br />directly onto ground. <br />• Do not use sanitary sewer without local approval. <br />• Place a secure, non -collapsing, non -water collecting cover over the <br />concrete washout facility prior to predicted wet weather to prevent <br />accumulation and overflow of precipitation. <br />• Remove and dispose of hardened concrete and return the structure <br />to a functional condition. Concrete may be reused on -site or hauled <br />away for disposal or recycling. <br />When you remove materials from the self -installed concrete washout, <br />build a new structure; or, if the previous structure is still intact, inspect <br />for signs of weakening or damage, and make any necessary repairs. <br />Re -line the structure with new plastic after each cleaning. <br />Removal of Temporary Concrete Washout Facilities <br />When temporary concrete washout facilities are no longer required for <br />the work, the hardened concrete, slurries and liquids shall be removed <br />and properly disposed of. <br />• Materials used to construct temporary concrete washout facilities shall <br />be removed from the site of the work and disposed of or recycled. <br />• Holes, depressions or other ground disturbance caused by the removal <br />of the temporary concrete washout facilities shall be backfilled, <br />repaired, and stabilized to prevent erosion. <br />• <br />Volume II — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-50 <br />
