parking lot driveways, can be sources of toxic hydrocarbons and other organic compounds, including <br /> oils and greases, metals, and suspended solids. <br /> Pollutant Control Approach: If the parking lot meets the site use thresholds to determine if the <br /> site is expected to generate high concentrations of oil, as defined in Step 2: Determine if an Oil Con- <br /> trol BMP is Required in III-1.2 Choosing Your Runoff Treatment BMPs, provide oil removal equip- <br /> ment for the contaminated stormwater runoff. <br /> Applicable Operational BMPs: <br /> . If a parking lot must be washed, discharge the washwater to a sanitary sewer, if allowed by <br /> the local sewer authority, or other approved wastewater treatment system, or collect wash- <br /> water for off-site disposal. <br /> . Do not hose down the area to a storm sewer or receiving water. Vacuum sweep parking lots, <br /> storage areas, and driveways regularly to collect dirt,waste, and debris. Mechanical or hand <br /> sweeping may be necessary for areas where a vacuum sweeper cannot reach. <br /> . Clean up vehicle and equipment fluid drips and spills immediately. <br /> . Place drip pans below leaking vehicles(including inoperative vehicles and equipment) in a <br /> manner that catches leaks or spills, including employee vehicles. Drip pans must be managed <br /> to prevent overfilling and the contents disposed of properly. <br /> Recommended Operational BMPs: <br /> . Encourage employees to repair leaking personal vehicles. <br /> . Encourage employees to carpool or use public transit through incentives. <br /> . Encourage customers to use public transit by rewarding valid transit pass holders with dis- <br /> counts. <br /> . Install catch basin inserts to collect excess sediment and oil if necessary. Inspect and maintain <br /> catch basin inserts to ensure they are working correctly. <br /> Applicable Treatment BMPs: <br /> Establishments subject to high-use intensity are significant sources of oil contamination of storm- <br /> water. Examples of potential high use areas include customer parking lots at fast food stores, gro- <br /> cery stores, taverns, restaurants, large shopping malls, discount warehouse stores, quick-lube <br /> shops, and banks. <br /> Refer to Step 2: Determine if an Oil Control BMP is Required in III-1.2 Choosing Your Runoff Treat- <br /> ment BMPs for the site use thresholds that determine if an oil control BMP is required, and for a list of <br /> oil control BMPs. <br /> S430 BMPs for Urban Streets <br /> Description of Pollutant Sources: Urban streets can be the source of vegetative debris, paper, <br /> fine dust,vehicle liquids,tire and brake wear residues, heavy metals(lead and zinc), soil particles, <br /> 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume IV-Chapter 3-Page 518 <br />
