accumulated dirty runoff and solids must be collected and disposed of before removing the cover at the <br /> end of the day. <br /> Suggested BMPs <br /> The following BMPs are not required,but can provide additional pollution protection: <br /> 1.Materials should be recycled whenever possible. <br /> 2. Light spraying of water on the work site can control some of the dust and grit that can blow away. Oils <br /> must never be used for dust control.Never spray to the point of runoff from the site. <br /> 3.Activities such as tool cleaning should occur over a ground cloth or within a containment device such <br /> as a tub. <br /> A6.1-Dust Control at Disturbed Land Areas and Unpaved Roadways and Parking Lots <br /> Description of Pollutant Sources: Dust can cause air and water pollution problems particularly at <br /> demolition sites,disturbed land areas,and unpaved driving and parking areas. <br /> Pollutant Control Approach: Minimize dust generation and apply environmentally friendly and <br /> government approved dust suppressant chemicals, if necessary. <br /> Required BMPs <br /> 1. Sprinkle or wet down soil or dust with water as long as it does not result in a wastewater discharge. <br /> 2. Only local and/or state government approved dust suppressant chemicals shall be used, such as those <br /> listed in Ecology publication No.96-433, "Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression."See BMP <br /> C126, Polyacrylamide for Soil Erosion Protection,in Volume II of this manual. <br /> 3.Avoid excessive and repeated applications of dust suppressant chemicals. Time the application of dust <br /> suppressants to avoid or minimize their wash-off by rainfall or human activity such as irrigation. <br /> 4.Apply stormwater containment to prevent the conveyance of sediments and or dust suppressant <br /> chemicals into storm drains or receiving waters. <br /> 5.The use of motor oil for dust control is prohibited.Care should be taken when using lignin derivatives <br /> and other high BOD chemicals in excavations or areas easily accessible to surface water or groundwater. <br /> 6. Consult with the Ecology Northwest Regional Office on discharge permit requirements if the dust <br /> suppression process results in a wastewater discharge to the ground,groundwater,storm drain,or surface <br /> water. <br /> Suggested BMPs for Roadways and Other Trafficked Areas <br /> 1. Consider limiting use of off-road recreational vehicles on dust generating land. <br /> 2. Consider paving unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas at municipal,commercial,and <br /> industrial areas. <br /> 3.Consider paving or stabilizing shoulders of paved roads with gravel, vegetation,or City approved <br /> chemicals. <br /> 4. Encourage use of alternate paved routes,if available. <br /> 5.Vacuum or wet sweep fine dirt and skid control materials from paved roads soon after winter weather <br /> ends or when needed. <br />
