BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment <br /> I Purpose Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants from <br /> material delivery and storage to the stormwater system or <br /> watercourses by minimizing the storage of hazardous materials <br /> I onsite, storing materials in a designated area, and installing <br /> secondary containment. <br /> I Conditions of Use These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with <br /> delivery and 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 <br /> and curing compounds <br /> I <br /> • Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the <br /> environment <br /> I <br /> Design and The following steps should be taken to minimize risk: <br /> InstallationI Specifications • Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic, <br /> near the construction entrance(s), and away from waterways or storm <br /> drains. <br /> I • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all <br /> materials stored. Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled <br /> containers. <br /> I • Hazardous material storage on-site should be minimized. <br /> • Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible. <br /> I • During the wet weather season(Oct 1 —April 30), consider storing <br /> materials in a covered area. <br /> • Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen <br /> dike, horse trough, or even a children's wading pool for non-reactive <br /> materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of <br /> Imaterial may be secondarily contained in"bus boy"trays or concrete <br /> mixing trays. <br /> • Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the <br /> ground. Place these items on a pallet and, when possible, in secondary <br /> containment. <br /> I <br /> February 2005 Volume ll—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-45 <br />
